We came upon Parm by accident. We'd checked out the Salty Pig on Dartmouth and they had an 1 1/2 hour wait. We decided to give Parm a shot as it was across the street and we were really hungry. This meal was Italian PERFECTION! Yes, they were short handed and service was slow but they were hustling busing tables and turning out wonderful plates of hot pasta. The baked Ziti. The sweet and sour cauliflower. The warm bread with soft butter and sesame seeds. The whipped ricotta over the pasta, the side bowl of vodka sauce with meat, the crispy, perfectly fried cauliflower with a little chili sauce for kick...it was outstanding. A real treat. This was the first night of my first visit to Boston. My partner and I ordered one dinner, split it, languished over it, laughing and enjoying every ingredient. How does a couple in their 70's get this lucky??​ read more

Food: Vodka pasta was 10/10! SO good. The brownie was good too but just a tad too sweet. Caesar salad was good as well. I love their $25 lunch special! Service: The manager, Steve, was awesome. He was so understanding and welcoming. Ambiance: The bathrooms were kind of dirty, but the restaurant itself was stunning. Lots of natural light. read more

I was so glad to see Parm in Boston! I've only ever heard about it in New York and was glad to finally give it a try! I got the chicken parm hero, meatballs, and the vodka pasta on UberEATS. Everything was great but I wish the pasta was a little more salty. The sandwich was still hot and fresh when it got delivered to me! The meatballs were so tender and the sauce was soooo good! My belly and soul were so full after this! read more

Really enjoyed the experience here. Service was great and the food came out quickly (and hot) The Caesar salad was excellent - as someone who loves cheese, I was happy with the amount they grated on top and the dressing had great flavor. Compared to the generous portions you get in the north end, portions are more fair here and you'll most likely not have leftovers. read more

Had a chicken parm sandwich. Very tasty. They could do better on the cheese, by adding a bit more, but the sauce was tasty. read more

Parm Copley Place - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Mediocre at best. We had one of the worst Italian meals we ever had. Their so called world's best garlic bread was burnt, tasteless and had absolutely no garlic. Chicken parm was dry and the sparse amount of mozzarella solidified to a plastic like consistency. Meatballs were just ok nothing special. Service not particularly attentive. We were curious about Parm which is close to our home. Now we know and would not return or recommend. read more

I love coming here to carb load before the marathon and the half marathon! A short walk from the hotel, just outside of Copley place, easy to find and quick seating. Usually like to sit outside and people watch! Service was fast, I've tried the spicy pasta and of course, more than once, chicken parm. Super yummy. Great prices, food came quickly, and cooked to perfection. A must try. read more

This vodka sauce always hits the spot. One of my faves. Salad was perfectly dressed and the garlic bread is banging. Sat at the bar with a glass of wine on a Thursday evening and it was very chill and quiet. hardly anyone there. quick service. read more

I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was flat but with somewhat sour taste...very weird and not pleasant. While the sauce was flat, the meatballs were salty. The pasta was definitely overcooked, not quite Chef Boyardee but close. The dinner was much less than I had hoped. And the service was minimal. They took my order, delivered it and brought the check only when I asked -- they never noticed that I was done. read more

The food and service were great. The ambiance is good. It's not too fancy, but also not extremely lowkey. The garlic bread, pesto arancini and the rigatoni carbone are both phenomenal! read more

The garlic bread is just to die for, it makes the whole meal. I enjoy the rigatoni carbone as well, the texture of the pasta is a great al dente. Service was fine and the ambiance was nice.

This location is located at the Copley Place Mall across from the Back Bay Station. It is tucked in a corner on the first floor near the mall entrance. The service is friendly and sufficient. I came for the Dine Out Boston Menu Lunch Menu ($36 w/o tax). The meatballs are good and the chicken parm is also decent. The sauce that came with the rotini is very tart. The portions are petite for the price. read more

Granted, I ordered takeout so maybe dining in is better quality but I was not wowed by any of the food. It was completely empty on a Friday night when I went to pick up my food. The vodka rigatoni was bland and dry with minimal sauce and the chicken parm, while well-seasoned/salted, was tough with a tiny bit of flavorless mozzarella and came with buttered but dry pasta. I've dined at Carbone and thought they were just ok. I was hoping Parm would restore my faith and blow me away, but it's not worth the price. Honestly, a jar of Carbone sauce on some homemade pasta beats this and it's half the price. I'm glad I finally tried it, but I don't plan on returning. read more

I loved the original Torrisi but never really got to try Parm before. After a busy day of remote meetings, I decided to have a late lunch at Parm. Ordered some arancini, a burrata salad, and a glass of wine. Perhaps I should have ordered something else as the burrata salad was mediocre (how something with burrata can be bad is beyond me but it was..) and the arancini weren't particularly impressive either. read more

I really enjoyed Parm! Right in front of Copley Mall across from the Back Bay T Station, with indoor and outdoor seating. No reservations were needed on a Thursday night. Started off with the delicious garlic bread and the penne alla vodka was the perfect spice and so flavorful and savory. The chicken piccata sauce was heavenly and we just wish the chicken pieces were larger but overall a great experience from food, to service to even price. read more

Having eaten at some of Mario Carbone's other restaurants, I was not impressed with Parm Copley Place. The food was just okay, and while the server was very nice, he wasn't really interested in serving, was on his phone, didn't check on us after our food was served etc. Overall, a mediocre experience! read more

We were staying at the Marriott Copley and wanted pasta, but for some reason this place didn't pop up on our Yelp search. It wasn't until we walked past it that we discovered this place. We ate here after walking 20 miles around the city and it was everything we wanted. The pasta tasted so fresh and delicious. The garlic bread was so good we ended up ordering a second. And the cannolis were a perfect ending. My friend loves cannolis and has had many in her life and she declared these to be one of the best she's had. The service was great and our server was such a delight. read more

Meatballs. Rigatoni Carbone. Garlic bread. Fire fire and fire. We will come back. This a nice change of pace if you don't feel like going the 5 extra stops on the orange line to the north end. Alejandra was great!! Nice ambiance and super easy to find directly across from back bay station tasty burger. We will be back. read more

A last minute dinner plan & we popped into Parm at Copley Place- they welcomed our party of 9. We ordered apps: moz sticks, Bruschetta & pizza knots. Order came quickly & delicious. We ordered entrees & shared around the table: Rotini Genovese, rigatoni carbone , tomato burrata salad, Caesar salad w/shrimp, spaghetti w/meatballs& the Arugula salad. We couldn't pick a favorite they were all served hot, great quantities to share! Sorry no pics this time but any item on this menu would be a hit! We were welcomed as if we were home for Sunday dinner & will come back everytime we visit Boston! read more

I really liked the food that I forgot to take pictures of apps and main dish but remembered to take a picture of my side order of spicy rotini. Quite (expect a few times it was little loud) but overall easy quick meal. I have no complaints and it was very affordable meal. Second time visiting a Parm and it was very enjoyable and good quality meal. read more

Beautiful dining room and lovely ambiance. The food was decent too - I got the Greek Farro Salad with grilled chicken and my partner got Chicken Parmesan. We shared the Pizza Knots & Italian Fries for appetizers. The Pizza Knots were amazing - definitely recommend! Greek Farro Salad was good and Chicken Parmesan was just ok. Service was ok but not great - they seemed to forget about us toward the end. Overall a solid 4 in my book. read more

While they were both very nice... the General Manager and our Waiter both lacked severely on the service side. We had to wait about 15 minutes before being seated (the restaurant was not at all busy) and then another 10 minutes before the General Manager finally noticed that no one had come to our table as of yet. When we finally got our order in the food was delivered but there was no tableware or napkins and we had to wait yet one again for our waiter to retrieve them. Food was just okay and worst of all was the $10.00 charge for a bottle of still water! Yikes. Never have to revisit this place ever again. read more

I absolutely LOVED the rigatoni carbone. I'm already craving more. They don't have any unique craft cocktails, so I wouldn't recommend going here for that. The pasta was so incredible tho. The broccoli side was okay and the French fries side was very good. Overall I really enjoyed my dinner here. read more

I took my students to Boston from New York for a conference at Harvard. 18 of us ate there. The staff were very nice and efficient. They were very accommodating so this isn't about them. The food was very bland and unseasoned EXCEPT for the Caesar Salad which was over seasoned. Everyone in my group who ate the Caesar salad got food poisoning that night. Parm, please check your produce. Some students could not attend the conference they had travelled for because they could not stop throwing up. read more

Cozy and comfortable area with ample sitting. The rigatoni was delicious although I would have loved some more parmesan on it. The caesar was great as well and the garlic bread was mediocre but cheap and good value ($3). Unfortunately, the service was quite poor. They seemed very pushy and hovered around the table as if wanting us to leave despite the restaurant being quite empty. I felt pressured to order, eat, and pay quickly. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I used to order from here on UberEats since they have a lot of promo's, and it used to be good but now it's just awful. I would get the pesto pasta and it would be so good/warm but after that one time, my pasta or chicken would come in COLD, MESSED UP, and I would experience food poisoning/stomach cramps for at least 2 days. It's like there's no care whatsoever into the food, I'm sure they don't serve anything fresh. WOULD AVOID!!!!!!!!!! read more

We hosted a holiday party pre-party here and had such an amazing time! The manager was extremely nice and helped us set up the place just perfectly.

I love the interior, festive and classy perfect for any holiday party or date night read more

This place was kinda freakin fire. I got the roast beef sandwich and that beef was roasting as hard as Tom Brady on Netflix.

We were staying in the Westin and came over for dinner. The service was fine but the food was the most disappointing on our trip. The Caesar salad dressing had an off flavor, the "famous" garlic bread seemed cheap and the cheese was nearly burnt, the eggplant parm was served lukewarm and the Brussels sprouts were tough and mostly flavorless. A menu that promised but quite failed to deliver. The restaurant was nearly empty on a Monday night so just a quiet spot. We went out and bought some candy to take the taste out of our mouth, didn't want to trust the dessert. Not a smart use of $65. read more

I come to Boston about once a year and will always head to Eataly to scratch my Italian itch. Decided to switch it up this time and was so happy I did. Parm was fantastic!! Food is well priced, tasty and was served quickly. It's connected to the mall so it was a little tricky to track down but I highly highly recommend it. read more

Picture this, it's 12 degrees out with a windshield of negative 5. You just finished shopping - now disoriented from the 3 story mall - starving from the lack of food options inside the mall. You settle on an Italian restaurant looking forward to a warm, hardy, fulfilling meal only to be met with the subpar food Parm confidently serves. A classic Cesar salad shouldn't be hard for a "famous Italian" restaurant, but evidently it is. The salad left little to desire and didn't satisfy the lasting need that I walked into this restaurant with and undoubtedly walked out with. Highly recommend skipping this place entirely and taking your Italian related business to the North End, where true Italian lives. read more

I truly enjoy the food and chatting with Carla while I wait for the commuter rail. Parm is my go to!

Maria was phenomenal! We wilm definitely be back! The food was delicious- and the service even better!!

I really loved their garlic knots. The bread was warm and seasoned well. I would eat there again. read more

Hm. The food is good, albeit overhyped for the whole experience. This location was really not busy at all for a Friday evening. The restaurant across the way was super busy, but Parm had ample seating in and outside. I would mostly attribute this to the location, it's a little tucked away and tricky to find. The service was ok, just a bit slow. We ordered a bunch of different things, and some were great, others good. Arancini: Very good, usually don't find pesto inside arancini, so it's a little fun. 9/10 Garlic bread with burrata: I wish the bread was a littttttle bit bigger, just because it's very good (and the ratio of bread to burrata is a little off) 8/10 Chicken parm: I get the hype! The sauce is really good (I think it's just the Carbone marinara) but it all comes together great. Only complaint is that there is virtually no crisp to the chicken, even though it's not reallllly swimming in sauce either. It is a GIANT piece of chicken though, and made the perfect amount for two people to share. Spicy rotini: this stuff is delicious. I don't get the reviews saying it's bland, as it's really full of flavor. Only complaint was that there was a very large piece of metal in it. I know that this happens in restaurants, but this piece was just a little long for me to be able to get how no one saw it. It was about the size of a twist tie, 2 inches or so, but completely metal. We informed the server, he took it away, the manager brought us a fresh bowl, and then we were comped for one of the appetizers (we didn't ask for this so it was nice of them). So, the situation was rectified, but it's just not something I can overlook. This place has such good food and potential, but I feel like it's just not living up to its own standards. It's kind of a low-energy place, like the staff are just kind of tired. Maybe it was just an off day, but I do hope they can find their rhythm. read more
