Came here for a girls dinner and we sat outside. It was super cute outside, with nice pink accents. Our server was so nice and so attentive. He gave a great recommendation so I got the martini with gin and it was the best I've had in the city but it was $21 so that was insane. I got the Arancini and it was super good but very cheesy. It was pretty expensive for 3 small ones. The lobster ravioli was not great and it was also so over priced. Vodka pasta was above average but nothing to write home about read more

Went with my family to celebrate my white coat ceremony. Food was amazing. Everyone liked what they got. I really wanted gnocchi with vodka sauce, which wasn't on their menu but they still made it for me which was nice of them. Drinks were all really good. Espresso martini had super cute presentation. Wasn't the best espresso martini I've had taste wise, I think there's better in the north end but it was still good. My one complaint is that there's only one bathroom for the entire restaurant, so when it's busy you're stuck waiting in a long line for a single stall bathroom. read more

There are so many places to choose from in the North End. I wanted somewhere cute, with that old world feeling to celebrate my mom's birthday while we were on vacation. Boy did I pick the right place! When I made reservations, I asked for a table by the window as I mentioned it would be my mom's birthday that day. They not only came through with the table by the window but they went above and beyond, giving her a birthday card, decorating the table with confetti and printing "Happy Birthday " on our menus! They also gave her a birthday gelato at the end. I was beyond pleased and she felt so special! Now for the food...we had bread for the table, which was good! The olive oil and spices for dipping were packed with flavor. We ordered a piece of the Fig bruschetta and a piece of the Prosciutto bruschetta. I'm so happy we got one of each because they were both heavenly in their own right. We both ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese for our main dish and it was delicious. We loved that they didn't serve enormous portions. They were just right. Overall we were super happy with our choice to dine at Ciao Roma! Check it out! read more

It is for 29 something's. Service is good but orders came out off. We ordered what the waiter suggested. But didn't match.

Italian restaurant in the North End. Booked a reservation but ended up sitting in their bar area that is first come first serve. We sat facing the outside which was great to watch the people and be in the sun. The outside seating looked amazing as you are right on the corner, and it's super cute. The vibe inside was cute as well. Service was really slow, it took a long time to get a drink and then for her to bring our check. Not sure if we would have been better if we got a table. Overall the burrata was my favorite. The two pasta dishes were just okay. Not bad prices for the North End. Cute spot but the service and food were mediocre. read more

We went to Ciao Roma for the first time to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday and from the beginning the experience was absolutely delightful. Starting with the restaurant's atmosphere, it was cozy and inviting. We found the decoration very lovely and felt that we were traveling back in time, which was a very nice experience. Added to that was the music that was played which was relaxing and inviting to have a great conversation with the people around. And, atop of this, because we were celebrating my brother-in-law's birthday, they added some sparkling confetti on the table to make the ambience more festive for the occasion...Really Lovely!! Continuing with the drinks, we selected a bottle of Cannonau di Sardegna, a sella & mosca red wine from Sardinia. It's a full-bodied red wine with a combination of fruits and floral notes that was really delicious to the palate. To accompany, we ordered the Arancini as appetizers, which is fried risotto filled with mozzarella and pomodoro sauce on top...One of the best we have ever tried! Really Delicious!!! Then, for the main dish, my wife ordered the Salmon Salmoriglio that comes with asparagus, broccoli, roasted peppers, lemon, garlic and parsley, which was absolutely delicious. My brother-in-law ordered the Porcini Crusted Skirt Steak that comes with aceto balsamico, broccoli rabe, and garlic parm potatoes. The meat was really juicy and tasty and the combination with the parm potatoes was very nice. Now, for me, per the recommendation of our server, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana that comes with mezzi rigatoni and instead of the pomodoro sauce I ordered it with vodka sauce and I have to say that it was absolutely divine!! As we were told, all the pasta at the restaurant is homemade and fresh, and I have to say that I was able to taste its freshness and perfect texture. The chicken was perfectly prepared and the vodka sauce gave it a very delicious flavor tone...100% recommend!!! Well, as my grandmother used to say, a meal without a dessert is not a meal, so, here comes the turn to the sweet treats. Let's start saying that my brother-in-law got a complimentary scoop of strawberry gelato with a birthday candle that all of us tried and it was full of flavor. Then, we ordered a Tiramisu and a Maple Cheesecake, both of them absolutely delicious (although my favorite one was the cheesecake because even when I love coffee not too much in desserts ). Then, I ended the night with a cup of Cappuccino that was creamy and delicious. To end my review, I would like to highlight the great service that our server Oscar provided to us, which made of our first experience at Ciao Roma a memorable one. He was very cordial and polite and he welcomed any questions we had. He also was very assertive in all the recommendations he made. The food and the ambience were spectacularly great, but the amazing and dedicated service from Oscar took the whole experience to a different level. Thank you Oscar and thank you Ciao Roma for such a great memory!! Blessings to All! read more

Felt like I was in Italy! Ciao Roma sits in a beautiful square and offers both inside and outdoor dining. I ate inside and enjoyed the dim lighting, gorgeous floral arrangements, and neat architectural elements. The staff were polite and the service was quick without feeling rushed. I ordered the fusilli alla vodka and chose the gluten free penne as a substitute with homemade ricotta. It was delicious. The penne was a little too chewy for my taste, but the sauce was divine (I kept thinking about it afterwards.) The sauce's flavor and the creaminess of the ricotta made up for the pasta's texture. I would order this dish again. The Hugo cocktail was refreshing, sweet, and tangy. read more

Decent place. Went here for a date night and wasn't disappointed but wasn't too thrilled either. It seemed like they were catering to the Instagram aesthetic. It did a very good job of this as the outside and the food was terrific. However it seemed like the food was a little too manufactured. The Tagliatelle Al Funghi Trifolati was good however there was far too much oil in the dish. The candlelit table was a nice touch though. This place is nestled in north end and a great relaxing walk from the T. It was a great place to take a date but in terms of coming here again, I would want to check out another restaurant in north end just to explore the options. Overall very nice place not disappointed! read more

Greetings fellow yelpers, I recently dined at Ciao Roma, a gatsby-esque establishment in the north end. Interior is reminiscent of an art museum, albeit some flaws are present including the enormous crevice formed by the unbalanced tables. However, the food was exceptional. Artichokes, octopus and burrata were all delicious. You can choose any pasta dish and you won't be disappointed. read more

After a chilly cruise on the Boston Harbor we found this gem to warm up. It was an elegant experience that feels as if you've been transported to an Italian home with its cozy, intimate, and relaxing vibes. We loved the meal we split that looks to be their most beloved dish - the Rigatoni & Sunday Ragu - with their fresh daily made Ricotta cheese and were very well attended to by our server. I appreciated the architecture inside & out, what a beautiful stop. read more

Ciao Roma is set in a perfect location in Boston's North End, tucked away in a beautiful and historic corner building. The staff is extremely friendly, from the bar downstairs to the wait staff upstairs. The ambiance was perfect for my lunch experience, and the interior of the restaurant was both clean and fashionable. The food was delicious and the prices are good relative to the other Italian-style restaurants in the area. read more

The food here is good. The interior is very charming, as well as the patio. It is a great place to get brunch and enjoy the ambience.

This place is cute and a good switch up from the Hanover street restaurants. The food is good but I'm not impressed. They have gluten free pasta options which is nice but gf no bread crumbs or gf bread. We came on a Sunday evening so ordered the "Sunday Lasagna". It was massive. We sat in a window booth which was my favorite part. Our server was nice, but was very forgetful of the gluten allergy at our table. Overall I think this place is a better date night/brunch spot. Again, no complaints about the food, but nothing to get excited about. read more

Bad experience here. I came here with my friend and experienced what looked to be the manager of talking with another man and staring and pointing at us. As two women alone, we felt very uncomfortable. We confronted the man as to why he was whispering and pointing to us and he deflected his answer. We did not feel safe here. Our waiter was very nice though and ambiance was nice. read more

Ciao Roma was great! Everyone really loved their dishes! Mine was by far the best (the mushroom pasta). I ordered it with ricotta/burrata on top and then immediately regretted that (lactose intolerant) and luckily my friend scooped it off for me. The sauce on this dish is sooooo heavenly it was really so good. I loved the fresh noodles too. I was a little disappointed in the bread and oil situation but that's okay.... Just thought it was meh. Chocolate covered espresso beans on the side of the tini was TOP NOTCH!!!!! Anyway this place is cute and delish.... Get the mushroom pasta or regret everything read more

This was a recommendation from a friend to try out while in Boston. We indulged on some pre-dinner cocktails and wine. Cocktails are handmade and they have a pretty good wine list. Drinks and pours were good for the value. The overall vibe of the restaurant was great- it feels like you are in Italy. The outside seating feels like you are on the streets of Italy and inside was a pink gaudy italian vibe!! Service was great. Hoping to try their foods next time we return to the North End! read more

Our first time in Boston and wanted to have North End Italian. Restaurant was very cute and had patio seating which wasn't an option on open table. Menu was fairly small. Shared Bolognese and Eggplant Parm with my husband. The Bolognese sauce was delicious but "fresh" pappardelle was very heavy. Eggplant parm was very tasty although served only warm. Enjoyed our desserts, pistachio martini and affogato. Felt rushed by our waiter even though there were empty tables. All the staff helped with service which was appreciated. read more

I went here for dinner and drinks and it was quite lovely. I booked a reservation to a few days in advance to secure the table. The drinks especially were incredible. I loved that they had a pumpkin spice espresso martini which is nice and festive for fall. The Rosa Rosa cocktail was absolutely delicious as well. Both cocktails were beautifully and thoughtfully made. The arancini was an amazing appetizer. The vodka pasta was a pretty good entree as well. The tables were very small which was a bit tough to maneuver though. The service was unbelievably quick, so overall it was a five star experience for me. read more

An absolutely beautiful restaurant inside and out, lovely bar downstairs and nice 'upscale' dining upstairs. If the weather and timing permit a table on the patio just across from Paul Revere's house is great for a early evening meal. Wine list extensive and well the pasta dishes are wonderful. We had a party of 6 by the window, service amazing, ambiance amazing, food amazing. read more

Get the chicken parm over vodka sauce and enjoy the thrill of being alive. This is one of my special occasion restaurants. The ambiance is also perfect - sunny outside or classy and cozy inside. I've come several times, and everyone has really liked it. Well, except for one trip, where the kitchen messed up the broccoli rabe for a few people at the table, but that was an outlier event. Overall I love this place and always recommend it. read more

It was good. We sat outside which I think was the biggest draw of the whole night for the meal. I got Peroni beer and a Valpolicella red wine. Our waiter was Michael. He was young seemed a little inexperienced and a little forced, but really sweet. Just a little awkward I would say. We got a bruschetta that had ricotta Lardo and orange blossom honey on it. Something I've never had before and I definitely would do it again it was really good. He got the Sunday Ragu I got the gnocchi. We would go again. read more

Ciao Roma - Rigatoni & Sunday Ragu - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Food: INSALATA DI POLO- The octopus was cooked very well and was delicious. The entire plate came together very well and was well balanced- 5/5 LOCAL SWORDFISH- Ordering this entree was certainly my fault; I probably should have ordered a pasta. The swordfish was the thinnest I have ever seen, which is incredibly odd as swordfish is at least 1", where as this piece was at most 0.5". I like swordfish in general as it is not fishy, but this dish was INCREDIBLY FISHY ... I was unable to eat it. It seemed like an unbalanced plate with the tomatoes and the two random pieces of cucumber. My dish did not have any potatoes or arugula as noted on the menu- 1/5 RIGATONI & SUNDAY RAGU- This dish was incredibly delicious. The meatballs, short ribs, and the sausage was so decadent. The pasta was really well cooked and was fresh. 5/5 Service: We went as a group of 4 to Ciao Roma on a Thursday night. We had reservations and were seated promptly. It took a little while until we were given menus. Once we ordered, our drinks menu was taken from us, which was slightly annoying as we had to flag down a waiter to get another menu . Otherwise the service was good and we were tended to appropriately. Atmosphere: It got VERY loud. A table of 6 women were seated right beside us and they were unbelievably loud. This significantly decreased the atmosphere for us and we left quickly after dinner as it was difficult to hear one another. read more
