Steve G.

4.5 stars. There are a couple of tables, but think of this place as a takeout/pickup spot, as it's super busy, noisy. A Florence, Italy import that's getting a lot of attention. Yes, does remind me of places in Italy, where qualityof ingredients is paramount, bread important, etc. It's a fast paced place, and the line moves quickly... they have it down. I wanted to love fall in love with it, but have to say, the two I tried did not blow me away. I liked LA SUMMER Proscuitto, Mozzerella, Tomato, Basil better than their top selling FAVOLOSA made with salame toscana, pecorino cream, artichoke cream, and spicy eggplant. Think next time I will try the VENICE BEACH Turkey, tomato, mozzarella. The sandwiches are huge, more like 2 sandwiches, so pricing is fine. RECOMMENDED

I have been to a couple of All'Antico Vinaio chains in Italy during my trip. This restaurant was my go-to place for quick grab-and-go on my trip. The Quality of the product is almost the same as in Italy. The quality of the sandwich is great, but it did not feel the same to me. The service was fabulous; the staff was friendly and assisted my friend, who was visiting the chain for the first time.

I've been to the All'Antico Vinaio in New York and wanted to try this location in Boston. The line moved pretty quickly and I got the la schiacciata del boss. The truffle and prosciutto go so well together, and the bread was perfectly toasted. It is an expensive sandwich, though I usually get two meals out of it. It'd also be nice to be able to have some addons, like more veggies!

There were more tables than expected, but it does feel more like a takeout place, as other reviews said. Sitting outside was nice. The ordering process was simple, and we got our food quickly. The Italiano and La Summer were good. We both would eat there again if we were in the area at lunchtime but would try something different.

Got the Italiana. It had Prociutto, stracciatella, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, and pistacio cream. The sweet and creaminess from the pistachio cream, the saltiness from the prosciutto, and the arugula and sundried tomatoes helped prevent it from being too heavy. I thought everything was quite balanced. The sandwich was about $21. Which I thought was reasonable because it was big enough to feed two people. There werent much of a wait when I was there, so service was quick. You order at the counter and they make your sandwich. Just tell them what you want and Bada Bing, Bada boom: you got your sandwich in a couple of minutes. They have seating inside and out. It was a nice day so my gf and I decided to do a picnic outside on the grass at the Boston Common. Nothing like enjoying a nice sandwich and watching all the sketchy weirdos walking around.

Life is short..F...it up ! Family, Flavor, Friends Was in Boston for the day, sindenit was on my list decided to walk over. No line which was good. For the Boss and fabulouso. Both were tasty and good quality cut meats. The spicy plant was a pleaser umami with a lil kick. For some reason one bread was soft while the other was hard. Don't forget to add the olive oil in the bread before taking a bite. Overall a high quality sandwich worth checking out. Would inwait an hour in line hmmmmm

The best part of All'antico Vinaio is easily the food. The portions are massive & can be two meals if you aren't overly hungry. The meat/toppings are plentiful & the focaccia is fresh & really stands out. The second best part is the addition of wine. The worst part is only one meat is allowed, which I did not see noted anywhere. The second worst part is the lack of seating. It was tough finding a spot to sit & enjoy the sandwich & wine. This hopefully improves as the trendiness dies down. This place is worth trying if in the Back Bay Area but if not I would stick with the sandwiches in The North End, at least until the lines die down.

Opened 4 days ago!

While in Boston, my husband stumbled upon an article about a new All'antico Vinaio opening up right in the heart of Downtown so we knew we had to go check it out for lunch yesterday! If you've ever heard of All'antico Vinaio, you know it originates from Italy, but they also have locations in places like New York and Las Vegas. We arrived sometime after 12pm and there was already a line out the door. We waited about 35 minutes in line before ordering. I loved ordering at the counter and watching the employees make the sandwiches - they cut the meat fresh to order right in front of you too. They have 2 full glass cases of spreads and toppings that made my mouth water! There were 3 of us so we decided to split their La Favolosa and their La Schiacciata Del Boss. Both sandwiches were differently unique, but super tasty in their own way. The bread on the Del Boss was salty and buttery and I also loved the Truffle Spread. The sandwiches are huge, but still very light and worth the price ranging from $15 to $19. As they just opened 5 days ago, they aren't serving alcohol yet, but they do have wine on their menu. They offer canned Italian drinks and sodas as well. The inside is pretty spacious with tables inside and outside. Overall, we really enjoyed our sandwiches and will definitely be checking out another location in the future. Check them out - you will not be disappointed!

UM 1000% yes!!! I love a great focaccia sandwich, especially those made with thinly sliced imported Italian deli meat. These sandwiches are handcrafted with love. The shop, while busy, runs like a well-oiled machine. The staff is kind and works quickly to push out the BEST sandwiches I have had stateside in a while. While on the pricer side these sandwiches are HUGE and can easily be split between multiple people. That being said, there are so many fantastic options you won't want to get just one. If you're in the Back Bay Area you have to give them a shot!

L'Italiano: lacking in meat
Boston F.

Got the L'Italiano and The Italian Hot. We asked for no nduja, but it was still added to the sandwich. While both sandwiches tasted good, they were severely lacking in meat and felt like a complete ripoff for the price. The sandwiches are also overpriced. Two sandwiches and two drinks came to about $50, which is hard to justify. Decent flavor, but poor execution and terrible value. Not worth the hype.

La Broadway
Lindsay D.

There is usually a crowd but they move people through pretty quickly. The sandwiches are pretty pricey but they're huge so I'd recommend splitting one. They use delicious focaccia and fresh ingredients and if you eat in, they offer beer, wine and spritzes. I got La Broadway with pistachio cream, stracciatella, sun dried tomato, spicy zucchini and arugula and it was pretty good but I couldn't really taste the pistachio and the zucchini was a little too spicy for me. I'll go back and try a different one next time.

Joanie L.

Well that was disappointing. I'd seen the lines and walked in one day seeing the bread thinking I will be back. Well this was the week, no lines. Long perusal of the menu and decide on The Diplomwt at $17. I was surprised how many sandwiches didn't include lettuce and tomatoes and real cheese. This did have sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, a prosciutto type meat and some parm crema I think. They add a little olive oil at the end. Got it home and taste nothing but the bread, which was good. The meat was chewy and I just didn't really get any kick of flavor. I'm a carb addict so that was good and the people were nice but it's a lot for a boring sandwich.

Drashti T.

I ordered takeout from this place. I got the genovese with turkey. The sandwich was delicious. The turkey tasted fresh and the pistachio cream with the pesto was an exciting new flavor to try. The sandwich itself was huge which was perfect for leftovers. I can't wait to try going in person when I have the chance.

oh. em. gee. best pasta i've ever had in my life…read more i was looking online for an italian restaurant and this came up multiple times. first off, the interior is gorgeous, plush green seats and antique style. we ordered their special items of the night: lobster risotto and the vodka veal. genuinely the best risotto i've ever had. the people online were not lying when they said their vodka rigatoni was the best. it was indeed very very delicious. even though all of us were full from the pasta, we still had to get tiramisu. it was a perfect way to end the meal. our server was great and attentive, thank you for a wonderful meal.

7/5/26: I stopped by Gigi for lunch around 1 PM on a Sunday, and surprisingly the restaurant was…read morealmost empty. My guess is that this is more of an evening destination where people come for cocktails and the atmosphere rather than lunch. We ordered a Diet Coke, the Scampi appetizer, Carbonara, and the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. The scampi was easily the best part of the meal. It was flavorful, cooked well, and made for a nice appetizer to start things off. Unfortunately, the pastas didn't quite meet expectations, especially considering the price. The Rigatoni Alla Vodka was $28, but the pasta wasn't cooked al dente and felt overdone. The Carbonara, also $28, was disappointing as the eggs had curdled and the dish ended up being much oilier than I expected. At $18, the scampi was enjoyable, but overall I don't think the food justified the price point. One bright spot was the service. Our waitress was incredibly kind, checked in on us frequently, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a very aesthetic design. I can definitely see why it's popular on social media. There is also outdoor seating, which I imagine would be a nice option on a warm summer evening. One thing I did notice, though, is how closely the tables are spaced together. Since the restaurant was mostly empty during our visit it wasn't an issue, but I could see it feeling crowded and fairly loud once the dining room fills up. I was honestly surprised by the meal because Gigi is part of the Mazi Restaurant Group, and I've really enjoyed some of their other concepts, especially Kava Neo-Taverna. Based on this experience, though, I think there are plenty of Italian restaurants in Boston that offer better food and better value for the same price. Overall, I'd give Gigi 3/5 stars. The service and atmosphere were both strong, but the food didn't live up to the pricing. If I came back, it would probably be for drinks, appetizers, and the ambiance rather than a full Italian dinner.

Unfortunately, the customer service during our second visit was a complete disappointment. We arrived around 5:00 p.m., and the restaurant was only about half full. From the start, the service from an older waitress was rude enough that we almost walked out. I had forgotten my reading glasses at home and was having trouble reading the small print on the menu, so I looked at the menu displayed on the wall instead. The waitress suddenly took the menu from our table and repeatedly pointed to the paper menu, insisting that I use it instead. I explained that I couldn't see the small print, and only then did she drop the issue. When our food arrived, it felt like it was simply dropped on the table with no warmth or courtesy. We also witnessed another waitress respond to a customer who was unsure where they were seated by saying loudly, "Do we need to put up directions?!" in a sarcastic and embarrassing tone. It's unfortunate because the food is genuinely very good. However, no meal is worth being treated this way. There are many great Italian restaurants in Boston, and next time we visit, we'll be choosing one of them.

As it turns out, they had plenty of open tables and I opted to sit outside on a whim since it was sunny and gorgeous out. I ordered the Clelia's Penne and a glass of the Hess Chardonnay. The chicken was browned beautifully, pasta was cooked perfectly, the micro greens and squash also brightened up the dish. And when ordering this, it doesn't hurt to top it with some more cheese! Don't be fooled by size of the serving plate, the look is light & delicate - but I was seriously stuffed after this lunch special. I had just enough room for a light dessert. So I asked for a single scoop of the mango gelato. I saw people a few tables down getting as many as 3 scoops, perhaps I'll follow suit the next time I'm visiting Boston. I came for lunch, but if I'm ever in the area again - I'd seriously consider ordering their truffle ravioli for dinner.

We chose to sit on the outdoor patio and enjoyed the lovely weather with a nice breeze. My only small complaint is that the patio feels a bit cramped. There are quite a few tables in a relatively small space, so it can feel a little tight when it's busy. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back.

The service was amazing from the kitchen. We had a food party and shared all items.

One note that I would normally score down on service when I order a drink before dinner I should at least get the drink and be able to consume it before all the food comes! Mida missed an opportunity here in timing the food and lost some liquor sales as a result. We gave this feedback to our server. Food was totally worth it and the vibe of the space was nice.

The bread had large air pockets, visibly soft, with a rich aroma of salt and milk; the olive oil was smooth and mellow, with a full-bodied fragrance, and the aftertaste even included a subtle, restrained hint of tea. Even knowing it's a calorie bomb, I couldn't resist dipping it in more. Baccala Mantecato: Classic Venetian flavor. The salted cod was tender and delicate, almost like a light foam, somewhere between raw silk and mousse; the dark bread was simple yet not coarse, perfectly balancing the saltiness of the cod. The most surprising thing was the refreshing aroma of celery leaves that emerged in the aftertaste, lingering and persistent. Lumache: When looking at the menu, seeing "chili butter, Jonah crab, breadcrumb," I never expected such a distinct citric acidity. The subtle acidity was gently enveloped in the fatty aroma of chili butter, perfectly complementing the umami and sweetness of the crab meat with just the right amount of spiciness. The lumache were firm and chewy, the sauce rich and smooth, and the breadcrumbs light and crisp, creating a rich and distinct texture. The portion was generous; even after microwaved the next day, the sauce had naturally broken down and the lemon's tartness had dissipated, but the noodles mixed with chili oil still had a unique flavor. Tiramisu: Highly renowned, and the staff were quite confident. The surface was covered with a thick layer of crispy cocoa nibs, the cake itself is incredibly soft and moist, and digging inside reveals an "underground river" of coffee liquid, while its bitterness was perfectly balanced by the sweet Marsala. The overall flavor was sweet and mellow, less bitter than typical tiramisu, with more layers of complexity. Actually, I was hoping for a slightly bitter version. Even on a weekday, it was packed with customers; by 5:10 PM, only one bar seat was left. Reservations are highly recommended. However, the bar was in a good location, with the bartenders being the easiest servers to find. It was a pleasant conversation with them.

The service here was attentive with the waiters offering more bread for the mussels. Most dishes are a little spicy, so if you don't like spice, make sure to note that with the waiter. The miso gelato is one of the most delicious savory/sweet desserts, and has lots of nice crunchy accents of the sesame crumble. Cocktails are fabulous, very smooth, as well as the mocktails. Cons: The crostini was nothing really special, and one of them came without the oyster butter. The meatballs, which were tasty but had a slightly hard texture on the outside. The prawn risotto was pretty one-note in flavor, and the prawn heads tasted overcooked and slightly off. The radiatore was spicy and nicely plated. The Cremoso al Cioccolato had a strange flavor profile that didn't quite fit, and had such a large salted chocolate-truffle section that we did not finish it (which is saying something)! Overall, if you are looking for a solid dinner in Boston that will guarantee be a nice experience because of the atmosphere, this is a good place.
