    Marco was an excellent server and the entire team was very attentive and did everything they could to give us an excellent experience. We were a large party but never felt rushed or had to wait long after we put in orders to get our food/drinks. All of the food was truly excellent and I can’t wait to come back, especially for the frutti di mare which has all kinds of perfectly cooked seafood. We also got a special birthday surprised that was really a sight to behold and made my day! The team has only been working together for 10 days but knocked it out of the park, so I can only imagine what it will be like once they’ve had some more time together. I can’t wait to come back!

    The experience was delightful starting with the drinks very well made concoctions and the appetizers to the meals then deserts do not disappoint. Service was great and extremely professional displayed for a great Valentines dinner with my wife. Definitely worth it and the food made from scratch suits all for accommodations. The scenery with the dimmed lights and portraits throughout made for a nice setting to dine in.

    We have heard about Contessa for well over a year and finally got there. It was worth the wait. Ride to the 17th floor of the Newbury and enter another world - one of tastefully sumptuous ambience with superb "welcome to Contessa" service and food to die for. The view is amazing, especially from the tables for two along the windows, but make no mistake, this is not a view restaurant. A little pricey, but fair value, and the food is so delicious that we were sorry when each course came to an end. Parking is a challenge (other than an expensive valet option) but in good weather, nearby garages are less than a 10 minute walk. Give it a try! We are sorry we waited so long to get here.

    Everything excellent. Large room. Quite a few tables which were mostly full however you could only hear conversation at your own table. Incredible how this restaurant manages acoustics. Our server David was awesome. He was attentive but not intrusive and enthusiastically described all the absolutely delicious food. My go to restaurant for excellent food ambiance & service
