Cinquecento

I have been here for drinks and have gotten one app. But it was good enough to make me one to come back! We got the burrata and the bread that came with it was so yummy so naturally I was sad there were only two pieces. As far as atmosphere goes, the staff is friendly and the restaurant itself is a little on the darker side but it makes sense when you look around at their decorations. They created columns with bottles lined up and those are lighted up, I'm probably doing a terrible job describing it. It's really cool so you'll have to come see it yourself. Overall great experience and it's pretty close to where I work, so this may become a regular sport.

A great location in the heart of the South End's art and design SoWa district. Convenient if you're going there after a gallery crawl, or for a business dinner or a date. I was seated at the bar. Food is delicious, and the bartender was very friendly and accommodating with drink choices and advice. Would definitely go again.

Good food, attentive service, and a nice ambiance round out the experience at this upscale Italian. There was some menu confusion as to the portion sizes, as these aren't consistent dish to dish and the waiter struggled to help. Appetizers were all very good, easily the highlight of the meal. The kitchen took some small liberties with the Roman classics though they were all good, even if unexpected. Definitely order ala carte sides and skip the ordinary desserts. Pricey, but not outrageous and overall a pleasant atmosphere though a bit loud.

I've been here several times now. Each time I have been very happy with the experience. The appetizers, meals, and dessert have all been very good. The wine list is good, priced well, but strictly Italian. Not a bad thing but requires some navigational help from the waiter. Two complaints: 1. The parking, while free with validation, is about as tight as possible. 2. It is loud when busy. Music is loud, too.

Went there for fathers day and the place was pretty busy but the service was fast and efficient! They had a pre fixed menu as a a special that had 3 different brunch items & came with juice as well as coffee. The tiramisu French toast and the eggs were made to perfection. Definitely a good place to try. Also the parking lot next to them is where you can find ample parking and can get free parking for 5 hours if you get your ticket validated from the restaurant!

This past Saturday I had my daughter's bridal shower at your restaurant. As I live in Florida, your restaurant made the long distance planning so easy. Thank you Christina for your help with the planning. You are amazing and I am sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you in person to thank you. Thank you to the waiter and bartender for your kind and courteous service. We ordered the brunch and had a beautiful buffet set up for the event. The food and drinks were delicious. I couldn't have asked for more!! The private room we had the event in was so cozy and inviting. This was my first time at your restaurant and when I am in the Boston area, I will definitely be back. Thank you again for making my daughter's bridal shower so special!!!
