   This was my first time at Strega and we enjoyed ourselves! The drinks were AMAZING and food was delicious. The service could’ve been improved more, as we saw more of the wait staff than our waitress itself. Also, we were slightly disappointed that there is no coffee/espresso on the menu. It would’ve been an ideal treat after the meal.

   Outstanding food and service!! Highly recommend!! They had singers and they were amazing but a bit loud. It’s a small restaurant so they really didn’t need microphones. Fabulous but a little loud.

   Not as good as it used to be. I brought three of my colleagues for our free night out during our conference. My medium-rare lamb chops were just a hair shy of well done. One of the two pasta dishes was well past al dente, all the way to the consistency of Spaghetti-Os. Before I moved away from Boston, ten years ago, you couldn't get me out of Strega with a crowbar. Now, I have to say that I won't come back, and I won't be recommending it to anyone. I don't remember our server's name, but he was lovely.

   I used to love this restaurant but the service has gone down hill. The restaurant is loud!!! It’s like eating in a nightclub. They were not in time with our reservations. We could not have a cocktail at the bar while we wait so we had to wait outside in the freezing cold. To top it off the hostess was rude about it. We were there on a Saturday night but I will not be going back. We used to love this restaurant, but there are much better options in the north end for an older crowd. I think this place is catering to the gen z clientele which is clearly working out well for them because the restaurant was packed with 20 year olds. They didn’t even offer desert and we were freezing cold at the window seat after being outside in the cold waiting. This is not for an older crowd, at least on Saturday night.

   Food was amazing as always. The noise level was a bit too high for us. Hard to talk to each other.

   Another great meal — although we were a little crammed in. Carlo is always just awesome; kudos to him for his professionalism and spirit!

   I am not sure why this restaurant is so popular with celebrities. It’s super small and have a limited menu. They didn’t not have tea or coffee: they also don’t serve dessert on the weekends. Honestly offended. The table was also extremely wobbly and thought the entire table of food was going to fall all over my lap. The tables are very cramped together, reminds me more of small nyc restaurants. The food was very good, not anything life changing though.
