I love you! 500 yds away and perfection. Food was great, hot and fresh. Big boy servings. Had the spinach gnocchi with Alfredo sauce and chicken! Had the 3 meatballs with penne and Nona sauce. Had the beef tips salad and the prosciutto appetizer. Enough for 4 meals easily! Why oh why did we find you on our last day here??? A small counter to sit at but mostly filled up with the 15 large men waiting for their orders' hint is to order on line!!! Don't expect to eat here! Take away read more

Pretty sure I made a mistake by not ordering the Proscuitto di Parma. As I was waiting for my pasta dish, at least 11 people came in and got that, just that, nothing else. My pasta dish was unfortunately just, okay. The pasta was not cooked evenly, some was extremely difficult to eat, and the sauce needed some black pepper. I would come back, but i'd only come back for that sandwich, which is clearly what they're known for. Oh well, live and learn. read more

All I can say is that the Prosciutto di Parma sandwich is perfection. The bread is exactly what you would hope for: crunchy, airy, and chewy all at the same time. I decided to add pesto to my sandwich because I am ever so slightly pesto-obsessed. It was NOT a mistake. Their pesto is so clearly fresh. It is hand chopped and blended. Absolutely delicious. I preordered for pick up. Everything was seamless and ready on time. Nice spot. Don't miss out. Worth every Penny from me. read more

Pretty solid place in FiDi for a quick lunch. My coworkers and I ordered multiple meals for an office lunch break and we all seemed pretty impressed! I got the Gallina salad, which was delicious and came with one of the best rolls I've ever had. So flavorful and delicious! We were all full and satisfied after. I'd try this place again for sure! read more

I was in financial district for appointment. This looked good for lunch. Wednesday special was chicken parm and pasta Or parm sub Tried the parm and pasta... big real chicken cutlet appeared made fresh... pasta was very good ... wax 17.40 with taxes ... steep for lunch... sub a buck if 2 cheaper ... but Boston high rent district, weekday business crowd, inflation prices ... what yeah gonna do?... clearly a well liked business regular spot as all food look dah real deal Italian... I was ok with a takeout as few seats and colder than a mackeral on ice in the store with crowd and door entrance and exiting ... bread stick nothing to tell Nona about .... Tomato sauce a bit watery Chicken parm in the pesto Alfredo might be better ...good menu options... I'd try again for another pasta ... Friday is the veal parm special which I wanted today Wednesday...each day different specials... read more

Incredible. A staple in fidi for lunch definitely. Always busy but they move fast so don't be deterred by a line. I usually go for one of their many sandwiches and they're all so so good. Today I tried the pasta and I have to say it is so damn good-probably best take out pasta you can get. Fresh hot and delicious. I've never gotten a bad meal and love them. Definitely pay cash-there is a cash discount which is the printed menu prices. Cash is king. The pasta comes with a nice piece of bread. There is some seating inside but since it gets crowded around lunch time I would recommend sitting outside. I'm not sure if those tables are them or the Mexican takeout spot (also good!) or if they're shared since they stretch along the street. Also they have daily specials which are always a hit!! Generous serving and well worth the price, best value for some of the best food in the area read more

Love this place great sando and salads the one knock is the bag situation / spent 75 bux today and the checkout person said I could only have one small plastic bag. Mind you I had 3 subs a salad 3 chips and 3 drinks. Hello how about another bag when I ask... nope one bag per order / hello I ordered for 4 read more

Visiting Boston and found this place on Yelp. It is great!!! My grandson and I both got the Alfredo sauce over spaghetti and fettuccine noodles. Some of the best I've had! I highly recommend eating here. The sandwiches looked great as well. read more

What a GEM this tiny place is! Fresh, authentic, homemade Italian food! The pasta dishes taste like a warm hug from an Italian grandma who doesn't speak English. Every meal is just so warm and comforting, I can't seem to get enough! My favorite is any one of their handmade pastas with the Alfredo pesto sauce. This sauce is perfect. It's creamy and savory with a great consistency; not too heavy or too light (watery) like I've experienced at other places. I also add some meatballs to my pasta which come with a bit of marinara sauce on them - I know this is an unusual combo but I just love it. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're a pasta lover! read more

Casa Razdora - Penne in Pesto Alfredo Sauce with Meatballs - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is a family run Italian restaurant, which served sandwiches and made from scratch pastas. We came here twice. On our first visit, we got their fettuccini with pesto alfredo sauce and a homemade meatball. That sauce was delicious. So, we ordered this on our second visit, along with their hot sandwiches: the pollo pesto and meatball sandwiches. They were ok. The chicken was burnt and dry on my pollo pesto sandwich. I didn't get much pesto sauce either. Also, the meatball sandwich was soggy. We didn't walk too long to an outdoor table prior to eating these sandwiches either. So, maybe if we come back next time we're in Boston, we'll try out their cold sandwiches instead. Their Italiano sandwich sounds yummy. We'll definitely get their pasta again. That pesto alfredo sauce was a winner. read more

Casa Razdora - Fettuccini with Pesto Alfredo Sauce and a meatball. Delicious. - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Such a great local find for lunch! I tried a hoagie and a sub today, but the entire menu sounded great. All the ingredients tasted fresh and were still warm and crunchy when we arrived to pick them up. It's a great takeout place. I didn't see any seating indoors, but they were a ton of places nearby to sit and enjoy lunch. I can definitely see this place as getting packed for lunch, so I recommend ordering ahead and definitely think it's worth the wait! read more

As good as it gets! Wow what amazing food. The spicy Italian sub-sammy was outstanding with sliced-to-order imported capicola (aka gabagool) provolone, "hot stuff" (as we Bostonians say) roasted peppers and fresh, delicious bread. The meatball sub had some very tasty meatballs and sauce and the slices of pizza were outrageously yummy. The pepperoni slice has imported Italian REAL Pepperoni. And a slice is the size of your head, seriously. Also tried the chicken Broccoli with fresh fusilli in aglio olio (garlic and oil) and it was cooked to order with the freshest pasta and succulent chicken and a fluffy piece of focaccia to dip. The Water Street location has about two seats so best to get things to go. But go you must! read more

Quick order Italian at Casa Razdora. If you don't want to go to the North End and want your pasta, this is the spot. I ordered online and headed over to pick it up. It was the middle of the lunch rush and rather than "cut the line" even though I was only picking up, I waited anyway. There really isn't enough room to split "ordering" from "paying" here so keep that in mind. My pasta was hot and fresh and ready. I brought it back to the apartment and dug in. Nice fresh marinara sauce with penne noodles. Very hot, very fresh. The meatballs were quite good, tough a little small. Flavorful and delicious. I'll order from Razdora again, for sure. read more

Delicious!!! Highly recommend. My company catered lunch from here and everything was delicious.

This is a review for the new location near South Station and the head of Federal Street. Ordered a Fino. They forgot the Gorgonzola. This is the second sandwich they got wrong they intwo days. Get your act together. I'll try you out again in a year, if you're still open. Feh. 10/24/19 - Ok, going to try them again. A couple valued opinions say I most likely just had bad luck. Someone told me to try the steak carpa 12/02/19 - Getting better. Fast service. Still forgot something from the sandwich, but at least they didn't forget the 12/30/19 - ok, I'm now a convert. Get anything with the dry cured steak. It's marvelous. Had the chicken Parmesan special today. That was simple and delicious. 02/07/2020 - Just triedd the meatball sandwich. Simply put, it is the best meatball sandwich I've had in my three years working in the city. Damn, it is great. read more

Having some business in the area a couple of days, I came here based on the Yelp reviews, not Guy Fieri. Not a hater or anything, but I don't watch as much Triple-D as I used to. I went for the shrimp scampi special my first trip and was provided a decent portion of good quality pasta. There was sufficient reasonably-cooked shrimp to be satisfied. The diavola pizza is very good and definitely worth getting. I love sopressata, and it's a good alternative to pepperoni. The size of the slice you get amounted to two slices itself. My slice came piping hot and fresh. Good mozzarella cheese appeared in abundance. It was one of the better pizza slices I've had around town. Prices are quite good here and the restaurant is clean, but don't expect warm and fuzzy when encountering staff. They're not rude or anything but you have to be decisive and prompt with your order. read more

A very popular Italian place for lunch! Everybody I know speaks very highly of this place, and rightfully so. They have a pretty extensive menu and even have different daily specials. I got the breaded chicken breast Thursday lunch special and my friend got a meatball panini. Both were very delicious. This place operates very efficiently, be prepared to know what you're going to order before stepping in! They get the food to you very quickly, I got my chicken breast within a minute of paying! Would definitely come back read more

Amazing, tasty and authentic!!! Fresh made daily you can taste. The staff speaking Italian was music to my ears and made the experience even that much better!! I felt like was in Italy for a bit and made me excited to go!! We each had 3 different dishes and ALL of them were perfection!! The Seafood Ravioli thoooo...... They're a small family business in the financial district so they mainly cater to the people who work in the area during the lunch rush hour. Open from 11am - 4pm, Monday - Friday and I'm all for it! If you ever go to Boston I highly recommend it! read more

If the owner's Italian mamma consents to make it, you can order a homemade tiramisu here by the tray! ($40) Soft and light and creamy... yum! The tray itself was filled to the brim and exhibited generosity of all ingredients. Props have been offered by others here for the carbonara and the eggplant parm. 4 stars *** 4/2011 visit *** Service is individualized, so it is best to come here when you are not in a hurry. There are two tall tables and one counter along the window for your eat in options. We tried a Monday Special, the Lasagna (Lasagne alla Bolognese $7.95 Pasta Sheets Layered w/ Bechamel Sauce & Bolognese Sauce) which came with focaccia bread in a basket (nice touch!), and one of the salads dressed w/ Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Red Wine Vinegar - Giardino $5.95 Romaine Lettuce, Fresh Tomato, Cucumber, Olives & Onion. The lasagna wasn't quite what we expected when we think lasagna... yes, it was layers of pasta sheets, but in my personal (limited?) experience, the pasta layers are alternated with a cheese (usually ricotta) mix and sauce and melty cheese... this was a dense block of layers with a little thin layer of something in between, and doused with a nice helping of the meat sauce. Good for what it was, but not what I was hankering for. The salad was made of fresh crisp lettuce, thinly sliced tomatoes and cucumbers fanned out nicely, (not to mention the red onion, and some olives we both purposely neglected due to personal taste) dressed well with the dressing of choice (Lemon Zest Dressing was the alternative) and sprinkled with fresh ground pepper. Plenty for sharing. This was a three star visit, and I won't be revisiting the lasagna, but I'm up for giving their Alfredo or Carbonara a chance... and a few of their Wednesday specials sound pretty good... (Fusilli alla Vodka $7.95 Tomato, Pancetta, Onion, Vodka, Cream, Crushed Red Pepper & Italian Parsley; Cannelloni Ricotta e Spinaci con Sugo Bolognese $7.95 Pasta Filled w/ Ricotta & Spinach w/ Bolognese Sauce; Parmigiana di Melanzane $6.75 Eggplant Lightly Floured, Pan-fried, Layered w/ Tomato & Parmigiano & Baked) Current Average 3.5 stars. *** 11/2011 visit *** Ordered the margherita pizza $12.99. Was told it would be 25 minutes. It was huge and tasty enough. Two slices were plenty for lunch. *** 9/2018 visit *** Without any foresight, you can pick up one of their Tiramisu' for $3.99 to go, for a nice square of moist, tender, creamy goodness. read more

I went looking for a quick and cheap lunch with my friends, luckily this place was very close to south station. My 3 friends and I shared a cheese pizza, it took only 20 minutes even though the place was packed! Super quick! We were comforted during our wait by a an airbrush portrait of Guy Fieri hanging far up on the wall which made us very confident in our choice. Also, the small place was absolutely packed during the lunch rush! But the staff was pumping out orders like you wouldn't believe! This is a good popular place! Our pizza came in the promised amount of time. This pizza was beautiful, I mean really something special! Cooked all the way, not doughy at all. Very crunchy on the bottom and very crunchy crust. It's the kind of pizza that you want to enjoy. So enjoy it! I would definitely come back! The sauce was flavorful and the cheese was delicious and gooey. Best pizza I have ever had in Boston! Go to to San Razdora and try the pizza! You won't regret it! read more

Casa Razdora - It's better than it looks - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

What is not to like about a place that serves up traditional Italian food to go in the heart of downtown Boston? What would I not recommend here, the sandwiches are fantastic as well as the pasta dishes. If you are looking for something really substantial, order a slice of pizza, which is not really a slice but more a whole quarter of a pie. I have not had one bad meal here! The only call out is the line that can get rather long during the lunch rush, but that's to be expected for great food. A huge recommend for here. Also note that the seating is rather limited here so you are much better off taking your food to go. read more

Very nice surprise. We ordered a chicken panini and seafood ravioli in pesto sauce. It was absolutely glorious. Zesty and creamy pesto sauce and chewy pasta with a great seafood filling. The service is friendly and familiar. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

I've been here only once, and that was enough to give them 5 stars for their pasta. When I went, I ordered before and it was ready on time. When I picked up, it was a cute little hole in the wall and the people working there were speaking Italian; it felt so authentic. I got the linguini with Campagnola sauce (they have SO many options for sauces and pasta). And it was so light and full of flavor. It was the perfect portion and for only $8.50. Oh and you get bread with it, which was a great little addition. HIGHLY recommend! Great price, great variety and great taste. read more

Friendly employees, nice menu options and delicious food. Eggplant, pesto salad and the pastas and raviolis are delicious. Highly recommend!

I have been getting sandwiches here for years (Water St). The meats are sliced per order. The bread is like Iggy's - nice and crunchy. Of all the many delicious sandwiches over the years I recommend the Ottimo. It's grilled eggplant, mozerella, roasted peppers and basil. read more

Very good food (especially the sandwiches), but horrible experience with one of the co-owners (Bobby). I know it's a little lengthy, but please read below. As I waited for my food, I noticed an email behind the cash register from another customer who had been charged $70 for a sandwich, asking them to fix the mistake. A couple days later, I remembered this and double checked my credit report, and saw that I had been overcharged by $10. However, when I emailed them about this (mentioning that the only reason I checked was due to seeing the other customer being over-charged), one of the co-owners (Bobby) immediately got very defensive, making excuses that they get busy (true, but I came at 2:45pm when there were no more than 2 other people inside) and calling me a "smart a**". After a series of emails back and forth, Bobby became increasingly hostile, making incredibly disrespectful, bigoted, and unprofessional remarks. At his urging, I called his cellphone, where he spent about 5 minutes launching into an expletive laden rant, where he demanded I tell him where I'm from (how is that relevant to anything) and spewed other phrases like "I'll rip your f***ing head off if you come down here" and "I bet your mom wished she had a girl instead of you." Needless to say, I will not be coming back to Casa Razdora, and I can only hope others do the same when they hear about the character of one of the co-owners. read more

I generally LOVE this place. Their gnocchi is some of best I've ever had. HOWEVER, I have to bring this to someone's attention. I ordered a slice of cheese pizza the other day and it was soooo greasy. I didn't even go during the lunch rush so there's really no excuse. Disappointed! read more

Pasta is TO DIE FOR. This is absolutely my favorite pasta place ever. If Italian heaven exists, this is what it would feel/taste like (kinda do feel like Italy in there with so much Italian being spoken by the cooks..). Pasta is just so perfectly cooked and chewy (homemade btw) and I. Just. Can't. Get. Enough. My favorite is penne with aglio olio and sausage. I think I can literally eat that every day. Pure perfection. I haven't got any subs or pizzas, but I tried a couple appetizers and they were phenomenal. It's not the most ideal sit-down restaurant. A few high tables and benches. It's pretty small, too, and during lunch like more than the third of the space will be filled with people waiting in line and waiting for food. I think it's pretty competitive to get a table, too. If you're in the area when it's open, you've gotta check it out. It will be worth every penny you pay! read more

I was in Boston for a few days and popped in to this small place and don't regret my choice. The pasta was honestly better tasting than some of the $40 pasta dishes I've had at higher end restaurants. The prices were so great - at under $10 you got a very general serving of pasta. The staff were very friendly, and the whole place just had a comforting, authentic feel to it. I got the alfredo pesto linguine and my friend got the spicy marina penne and both dishes did not disappoint. If I'm ever in Boston again, I'll come back here without a doubt! read more

Casa Razdora is right out of a movie. It's 100% what you'd dream a small Italian restaurant would be. This lunch stop did not disappoint. When you immediately walk in the door you get "next!" shouted your way to get your order, but don't get frazzled. You can take your time to look if you need it! And, if you can't read the board on the wall there's individual copies of the full menu laying on the counter ledge where they take your order. I will say it gets pretty tight in there as you order & wait because of their popularity. The lunch portion of the pasta dishes were just right, and it's so easy to grab to-go. And surprisingly you really don't have a long wait at all! I got the pumpkin ravioli + burro e salvia sauce (butter & sage). The pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very good, but very buttery as it didn't seemed to be cooked long enough to be browned butter like intended. Even though I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce, the whole dish was great. Go! You won't be disappointed! read more

People on here seem to rave about this place, but I've tried it now three times, with three items, and my experiences have been between "meh" and today's "I'm not even going to eat this." So maybe it depends on what you order, or who's in the kitchen that day? I don't know. Today I ordered linguini with pesto sauce and chicken. I had thought with the rave reviews that I'd be getting legit pesto, like I might make at home. Not even close. It's just olive oil with some dark flakes of what was definitely not fresh basil. It's pretty distasteful and I'm not going to waste the calories finishing it, it's going into the trash can. A shame, because I'm famished! Guess I'm done with this place, since there are 9,000 options in the Financial District area. It's a shame, since this place has that nice authentic feel. But I'm realizing that "authentic" doesn't necessarily equate to well made or enjoyable to eat. Oh well. read more

Decent sandwich Had spicy Itialian You need to read sandwich descriptions only came with the meat n cheese hot peppers Great bread Also they cut meat and cheese to order really fresh and most subs are $8 not bad for Boston read more

Definitely some of the best Italian food I have ever had! First - pay attention to their hours! They are only open 11am-4pm Mon-Fri and closed on the weekends. My husband and I stopped in here for lunch one afternoon while we were in town visiting. Also beware that it's a small place - like super small. There is constantly a short line to order your food and then there are like 2 tables and and a small bar for seating. It is really more of grab your lunch and go kind of spot. We were lucky enough to catch a couple getting up from the bar so I snagged the seats. I told my husband what I wanted based off of the menu on the wall. He waited in line and then tells the guy taking orders he needs an order of veal Parmesan .. and the dude says in his most Italian voice ever, "we don't have veal today what else do you want instead?" My husband didn't know what else I wanted so he got out of line to come talk to me. Second time around he got to counter after I had given him my choice and back up choice. He was able to successfully order the stuffed eggplant. We also wanted the margherita pizza and the guy says in his most Italian authentic voice, "you get cheese." My husband acknowledged and paid the person at the cashier. Now could the customer service had been better - yes, but I feel like I got a real authentic experience if that makes sense. The process could have been way smoother and organized better, but it was what it was. I knew there had to be a reason why there was constantly a line at this place because so far it wasn't the customer service bringing the people from what I could tell. Our food was ready pretty quickly and we squeezed into our seats at the bar. It looked AMAZING. I took a bite of the stuff eggplant and closed my eyes for a minute. It was so savory and delicious. I also tasted the dish my husband got, which was the fettuccine campongola and it was just a great! The cheese pizza as simple as it was, was some of the best I have ever had too! The food was literally as good as it gets and made up for the little stuff. We almost came here a second time during out visit because it was that good, but we ran out of time. If you are in the area head to the financial district and try this little hole in the wall Italian spot. If you can get past the BS you will be amazed at what is being served! read more
