Massimo's - Ristorante Massimo

Extremely professional, personable, wonderful staff. Food is delicious, wine options are fantastic.. Their dining room brought me back to Italy. Massimo is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Only note I would mention is that my husband and I felt the bread could use some work. For being an authentic Italian restaurant, higher quality bread is a must! With good quality olive oil. Would absolutely recommend for a special occasion dinner!

I must say, Ristorante Massimo stands shoulder to shoulder with the best in Boston's renowned North End. Each bite of the food was a celebration of authenticity and tradition.

This was my first time here and will definitely be back. There were 11 of us and the service was outstanding, the apps were great and dinner & dessert were delicious!!!

MASSIMO'S! Always makes our meal feel like a flavor vacation, great food,service, and atmosphere! Went there tonight with our son and it was as expected and more.

It's rare that any restaurant deserves a 5 star rating, but Massimo's certainly does. We typically go here for special occasions...this month: Valentine's day. Food was perfect, atmosphere romantic and subdued, service impeccable. They have never disappointed!

We went here to celebrate our engagement. I had never been but we received a gift card. Firstly, the service was outstanding. Tiana was lovely and she gave us a complimentary champagne toast for the occasion. The food was not nearly as good as I anticipated. Nonna’s meatballs tasted like Spaghettio meatballs; bland and mushy. Sadly, the ricotta underneath was the star. The salad with the burratta was good, but the vinegrette was poured onto the plate and not anywhere to be seen on the salad itself, so we found ourselves dragging along each bite to get some much needed acid. The veal chop was cooked perfectly and the polenta was great but the roasted root vegetables were undercooked and crunchy. Finally, the highly recommended cabonara. It was so horribly underwhelming. Swimming in cream and somehow lacking salt even though it’s covered in pancetta. It was so lacking in flavor that all I could taste was truffles and heavy cream. Lastly, they brought out a delicious cannoli with a candle for us that was the star of the show. Thank goodness for that. Overall, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere romantic but the food left so much to be desired that I’m not sure we’ll be back unless for a glass of wine and dessert.

It’s our 3rd visit and it never disappoints! I love the cozy feel with romantic vibes and of course the amazing food!
