They listened! We got pasta and they put a side sauce along with the pasta! Fast and easy for take out! read more

Please learn how to cook pasta. This is an absolute travesty. Italian grammas everywhere are rolling over in their graves. It's PASTA. If you cant cook pasta correctly at an Italian restauraunt... We have tried Parm a few times. The summer patio is nice and the pizza knots are fair. As other reviewers have said, the staples, like the pasta and the sauce are totally off. Ownership should come in unannounced to try it so that they can make the needed adjustments in the kitchen. read more

If your favorite color is neon green you'll surely enjoy this "pesto" pasta (the photos doesnt even capture how bright it was). Didn't have high expectations to begin with but wanted to give Parm a try after seeing some mixed reviews. The salad was drenched in dressing and was so soggy. The meatballs were burnt to death but also raw in the inside? and lacked any sort of flavor. The Italians would be so disappointed in this place... read more

Parm Copley Place - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The food is pretty good. There are much better places in Boston if you want spaghetti and meatballs or chicken parm. The service is pretty good. The ambience is pretty good. But, it's more of a convenience if you live in the area than it is a destination point. read more

How does a place called Parm not know how to make a chicken parm? I ordered a chicken parm and a salad on uber eats. The driver brought it promptly (took about 20 minutes for delivery) and the food arrived ice cold. I tried to eat it anyway and it was disgusting! How does this place keep its doors open? So many bad reviews, wish I checked them before I ordered. read more

Really nothing went well. The ceaser was so covered in cheese I couldn't eat it. The chicken Francois was good but the Brussels came covered in cheese also. read more

Not great... bar and drinks were good. Food not so much. The chicken parm was sub par. Mozzarella sticks were good. I liked the inside seating, outside was a bit grungy, not the greatest area. Probably should give this two stars... the food just tastes old or frozen premade or something. read more

. Drinks were good, we ordered the Aperol spritz and the spicy margarita. For apps the mozzarella sticks were super cheesy and I enjoyed the breading. The calamari was a miss for me. It lacked flavor and the peppers were kinda soggy. I wish they were crispy like the calamari. Pastas were fine. Service was below average. Longer than usual wait times for food (it wasn't even busy) and tables could have been cleared more consistently. Ambience was fine, it felt like a cafeteria to me. Would I go back? Yes. Would I recommend for someone looking for pasta in the city? No. read more

The food was actually inedible. We ordered chicken parm and spicy rigatoni with meat balls. The cheese on the chicken was not melted. Lifted off in one piece. The spaghetti was so overcooked it congealed into a clump. The meatballs were dry and the rigatoni was so hot( not spicy) it was inedible. To be fair I called and spoke to the manager who offered to refund the cost of the takeout.. Instead asked him to give us a call when the kinks in new opening were worked out and we would try again. We wanted to support a new neighborhood restaurant. It is now well over a month and no one reached out to us to show what the kitchen could produce. Everyone can just have a bad day. We gave them an opportunity to make it right. read more

I recently ate at Parm Copley Place with a couple of friends while we were on a weekend trip. Everything at the table was great. We started with the calamari and meatballs and then moved on to salads. The Arugula salad was amazing. The fig dressing was so refreshing and the toasted almonds were perfect. We finished with Chicken Parm and it was wonderful. I can't wait for our next trip to Boston. read more

We were disappointed in the quality of the food. The spaghetti and meatballs was sub-standard. The meatballs were over cooked and blackened on the outside as well as very salty. The tomato sauce was nondescript, bland and needed seasoning, the spaghetti was cut into half strands. This dish was sent back to the kitchen for the chicken parm. The Brussels sprouts were charred and undercooked. We both thought our chicken parms were fair but rather dry, maybe a bit over-cooked. There is also an acoustical problem. The place was full by the time were were being served, and the noise level was especially loud. The service is friendly, however. Vanessa, Carlos, and Marcos were professional and efficient. All being considered, it's doubtful we'll be returning. read more

wanted to try out this spot with some friends since it was apparently recently opened, but was honestly pretty disappointed with our food. i know that they have separate locations in nyc, but the one here just didn't live up to my expectations. - atmosphere - the inside of the restaurant was really nicely put together! i really liked the look of the tables and how the vibes were fitting for either a casual or slightly more upscale meal. there were plenty of tables and i'm sure you could probably fit a large party here if tables were just combined together. - overall experience - made a reservation for 4 for a friday evening, but when we got there the restaurant was pretty empty. we were immediately seated and had our orders taken shortly after. the servers here are really friendly, which was much appreciated. it took our food probably around 25-30 minutes after ordering to get served to us. 6/9/23 -world famous garlic bread: had pretty high hopes for this but it was honestly quite disappointing. the bread came out lukewarm and had more parmesan on top than garlic. i think if it came out warmer then it would've been infinitely better, but $3 is pretty fair for a single slice of bread cut into fourths. (3/5) -fried calamari: their fried calamari appetizer was really crispy and came with some italian green peppers too. it also came with a lemon wedge, some hot pepper(?) flakes, and marinara sauce for dipping, but it didn't add much to the dish in my opinion. the calamari wasn't overly fried, but i felt like it was just lacking flavor for some reason. the portion was also so incredibly small for $17, so it wasn't worth the price in my opinion. (3/5) -chicken parm: this entree comes with 2 chicken cutlets covered in their house breadcrumbs, melted mozzarella, and tomato sauce. i thought that this was the best dish of the night by process of elimination, but my friends disagreed. i felt like the chicken was cooked just the right amount and that there was just too much sauce on top. but, my friend thought that the chicken was borderline rubbery and undercooked. so, maybe parts of the chicken weren't cooked evenly. i felt like the tomato sauce was just too overpowering in my opinion, but if there was a bit less it'd probably be more enjoyable. for $26, i felt like it was pretty fair in price since entrees come with a free side. (3.5/5) -brussels sprouts: got this as our side with the chicken parm entree, but it might've been a mistake. half of the brussels sprouts in here were burned, and the other half were just too greasy for my liking. it came with some parmesan on top, but it didn't really elevate the taste in my opinion. i definitely wouldn't have paid extra for this as a side, but since it came with our entree i just wish we got something different. (3/5) -rigatoni carbone: i personally thought this pasta dish was alright; it comes with rigatoni in their world famous spicy pink vodka sauce. i personally felt like the rigatoni was cooked just the right amount, without being too firm or chewy. it also held onto the sauce quite well, which is always a plus. i personally just felt like the vodka sauce could've been spicier. the portion isn't that big for $18, so i think the dish was a bit overpriced. (3.5/5) read more

Saw this place when it first opened up and have been meaning to give this place a chance. I saw the reviews and obviously sometimes you take the plunge and go ahead and try them. Well we ordered a couple of different items and out of 4 things only one was good. The Italian sandwich was good but how can you really mess that up. Chicken parm sandwich was inedible because the chicken was like rubber and just a gross sensation. Pizza knots were just garlic knots no pizza or cheese anywhere. Chicken vodka was ok but the chicken portion was so thin and over cooked. With so many places in Boston for Italian food I would go else where. Bill was 80.00 read more

First, the I have a gluten allergy so let's start there. I understand that the pasta is different and what not but I have had AMAZING gluten free pasta that was both delicious and presentable before. This pasta was very rough and just overall dry, it feel like it was not freshly cooked and more so put in the microwave and then served to us. We ordered our pasta and got it 5 minutes later... usually I would be happy with really fast service but this was just a red flag. The sauce was not flavorful at all and I could just taste the unseasoned pasta instead of the famous vodka pink sauce I was so excited for. If you have a gluten allergy I don't recommend this place for good food, overall very disappointed. The service was good and friendly though so I was very thankful about that. read more

I went to Parm for a second time and it was good but not as good as the first time I went. The first thing that made me sad was that they increased the price of drinks to $14 which isn't bad for Boston prices but I got excited when I could order a $12 espresso martini. The second thing is that I got the carbonara and it was good not great. A little excessively cheesy and the guanciale was crispy to the point where it tasted a little burnt. My friend got the eggplant parm which was really good and I was a big fan of the brussels sprouts it came with. The service is solid nothing crazy good or crazy bad just in the middle. The last thing I got was a tequila on the rocks which was $19 for Casamigos which seems like a lot for Casamigos even though I understand a rocks pour is more (I probably should've asked beforehand how much so that's my fault). I will be returning but I hope they keep the prices where they are now. read more

I order from here once a week through Uber eats. I'm never disappointed. Thank you for always being delicious!

Good enough? Definitely a chain with good enough Italian food. Everyone in our picky family could find something. Service was better than good enough. read more

Wanted to try Parm because I've heard a lot about the NYC locations. I ordered the rigatoni carbone and it was so disappointing. The noodles were extremely over cooked, and the sauce was mediocre and had no spice. My friend had a side of spicy rigatoni and the rigatoni was not evenly heated, so it seemed microwaved. Only giving two stars because the restaurant has a nice ambiance and servers were nice. read more

Wow wow wow! Went to carbone nyc and carbone Miami a few years back and had an amazing time. The food here is on par with both of those and bring back fond memories. The spicy rig is a must here, and is nearly identical to the one at carbone. Didn't feel rushed, and was in and out in 45 min during my break. Super convenient location and the patio was so beautiful to hang out for a relaxed weekday lunch. read more

Parm Copley Place - RIGATONI CARBONE and CAESAR SALAD - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Excellent chicken parm sandwich. I saw other food as well and it all looked very good. Recommended!

The food was amazing! I had the calamari, pizza bites, and the mozzarella sticks! Everything was sooo good! I also got a Caesar salad and changed the cheese to Parmesan shreds and that made it a thousand times better!!!! read more

Went on Valentine's Day and the food and service were so good. I was a bit worried after reading all of the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The food matched my experience in NYC. I ordered the Chicken Parm and my boyfriend got the Carbone pasta. Super yummy and well priced.. read more

Can not recommend this place enough. Everything that came out was cooked perfectly. We ordered the garlic bread (a must), chicken parm, and caprese salad. Carlos at the bar knows what he's doing. Why go all the way to the North End for quality Italian? Will certainly be back. read more

Food was pretty mediocre. We got the meatballs, which were extremely salty. The spaghetti was overcooked and had minimal sauce so it all stuck together. We also ordered the meat gravy on the spaghetti and it was not given to us. Wouldn't have this again. read more

Parm's early location in the Upper West Side of NYC has always been a favorite spot to grab a quick bite. So I'd been anticipating their new location in Boston's Copley Place since it was announced. Where their NYC locations have a fast casual vibe with a large selection of sandwiches, the Boston location is trying to be a more traditional restaurant with sandwiches only available for takeout. The result is an awkward middle ground that feels like your eating at Terminal C in Logan, sit down but also rushed. It's not a place a group would go for a night out but also not fast casual like in NYC. The service is still finding their rhythm too, but that's to be expected as the "Grand Opening" sign is on the door. But I did find the server to be very disconnected. I felt like an imposition when I asked about a side dish that was missing. Experience aside (this might be a takeout place in the future) the food was outstanding. The Chicken Parm is almost completely covered in fresh cheese on top of the perfect marinara sauce. Their sides are generously portioned and delicious. You can't beat their Italian fries and garlic bread. read more

They were out of ingredients. The staff was rude and forced to me increase the tip. I by mistake left my package there with a few of my food items i got from another place. They trashed it while I returned in a minute of realisation. read more

I was so disappointed with the service we experienced this time around by the host on Tuesday night 12/20 at 7:15 pm. Thank goodness the waitstaff made up for it and salmon we ordered (without added salt) was very good. We did wait 30 minutes for our food (kitchen had to redo the order because they ran out of eggplant parm & forgot to skip the salt). read more

I'm writing this review after three satisfying visits to Parm. My wife and I twice dined at the bar, and once in the dining room with our children. Here's what I can tell you about Parn. It is consistent, delicious, and satisfying. Parm won't be a one and done experience. No sooner than you are finished with your meal, you'll be thinking about your next visit. Parm is a showcase for Italian classics like Chicken Parmesan, and Chicken Milanese. They are perfectly executed. The apps are wonderful- try the meatballs and the unbelievably yummy zucchini chips. Patrick and Reggy, Parm's GM and restaurant manager, have things running smoothly. Service is fast and attentive. Food impresario, Chef Juan, is setting a high standard for quality, consistency and pure deliciousness. Order a drink, or dine at the bar, and you'll be welcomed by Carlos and his warm smile. Parm has added a new aspect to the Boston restaurant scene. Superb quality, great service and great value, in a package that doesn't try to be anything but a no-fluff, very rewarding dining experience. read more

I'm not one to complain but they need to properly tenderize their parm. Flavors are fantastic, and everything else we got was amazing. The parm felt like it was uncooked but it was, just needed proper tenderizing! read more

Small portions, big prices. Got a recommendation from a colleague ,so I stopped in.my server was beyond grateful, very respectful and professional. I ordered the chicken parm entree. Which was just a piece of chicken parm and no pasta the price was over $30 for just a single piece of chicken parm, it did come with a side I picked the Italian fries, they were ok nothing special. My done fall for this place ,is its way over priced and small portions... read more

Some good, some not as good. We've done takeout twice now from the new Parm in Copley Place. First off, the staff is very pleasant and looking to accomodate diners, so thats a big plus. The Chix parm and eggplant parm we had the first time were just delicious and well prepared. Our second trip was spaghetti and meatballs and a shrimp salad. Not so great. In fact not at all. The meatballs were like hamburgers not meatballs and the spaghetti was angel hair (menu didn't note this, I assumed it would be traditional Pasta) and the salad was just fair. My suggestion is to stick to the basics...like the really basics as the name implies and only get a Parm in the future and then it would be a 4-5 star again. read more

Hidden gem! New location at Copley across from BBY station. Excellent italian food and service was on point. We had meatball app and garlic bread, chicken parm and chicken milanase with a nice cabernet- all delicious and reasonably priced. Looks small from outside but ton of seating inside. Nice to have more italian options in area with closure of Lucca nearby. Will definitely be returning! read more

Meatball hero was terrible. Bread was stale (I read another review that said they use day old bread on delivery orders) and meatballs were dry. read more

This is such a great spot for a cozy Italian dinner and drinks. Carlos the bartender is awesome and I highly recommend the rigatoni. Very convenient to Back Bay station, too, making it a perfect place to go before catching a train. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this gem. I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka and Caesar salad, and after reading the reviews I thought it was going to be mediocre... however, the rigatoni was actually perfectly flavored and had the perfect amount of sauce. I loved the extra cheese on the salad too. read more

I ordered takeout last night and have been absolutely dying to try the rigatoni carbone everyone has been raving about. I lived in nyc and never got the chance to Carbone, so I thought my chance would be at Parm here! I excitedly ordered it plus the pasta Genovese plus pizza knots. The good part - pizza knots were 10/10 but with too little sauce. The famous Carbone pasta was a tragedy -- super bland and disappointing. When I opened the box, it was just a sad barely dressed pasta -- photos on IG show it to be a pasta with plenty of a yummy, shiny (buttery?) sauce. Instead, the sauce had this plain, canned taste so I'm pretty sure they are just pouring it out of the premade factory cans of the sauce sadly. I cook a lot so it reminded me of tomatoes in a can before you cook them for a while. Genovese was decent. I will try to repair both pastas tonight with lots of garlic, SALT (because it was totally missing on the Carbone pasta), and parm cheese. read more

Took out eggplant Parmesan. Delicious, hot, and ready very quickly. Will order from here again.

As cozy as an Operating Room. Cafeteria style food and service. Zero vibe, disinvested yet uninformed service ( e .g " do you make your own pasta here? I dunno") stretching to give one star read more

My husband and I "ate" (term used very loosely) there today and the food was subpar at best. We were seated in the cutest table upon arriving. We had high hopes because the place is in a prime location right across the street from the T and the menu looked appealing. First, we ordered margaritas. They were ok at best. I liked it more than my husband. We ordered the calamari and the pricing was normal that we've seen in the area. The portion size was incredibly small for the $17 we were charged. It had more peppers than actual seafood and the taste was off a bit. So strike one. I ordered the rigatoni carbonara and my husband ordered the shrimp picatta. My pasta was the saltiest thing I've ever tasted and the sauce was very watery. My husbands dish didn't come with pasta which we didn't know until it came to the table. We thought it odd that we were offered a side with his dish but didn't think anything of it. So he had to order plain pasta which came to the table over cooked and we were charged $12 for a tiny bowl of pasta. Strike 2. Neither one of us ate our meals and asked for the check. My husband left $20 cash for the tip as there was no gratituity added. He left 20% tip. After we leave he checks his account and he sees that they added an additional 20% gratuity on top of the $20 cash he left. So they got 40% gratuity from us. Huge strike 3. Never again will we go there. Parm has a great idea, great location but needs way better service and cooks in the kitchen to be successful. read more
