Nice and elegant. Delicious authentic Italian food. Nice selection of Italian wines and deserts. One thing I value in restaurant business is the right volume of music they play. Was not very loud, just the right level to enjoy the songs while having a dinner with family or friends. Definitely a recommended place from me for anyone who looks for a stylish and cozy place to dine in.

Came for an office dinner and had a great experience. As the only vegan in my group I expected a few small options but I was provided the whole experience of 7 courses that everyone else got. Everything was delicious too. Hope they add some of the items to the regular menu so more vegans can have a great dining experience here because clearly they can make good vegan food

Wife and I took the route of the Arsenale menu so everything was off menu and picked by the kitchen. So I can’t speak to their menu but the off menu pairing were perfect. We had several expensive meals during our stay in Boston to compare the food against.
The food complimented each pairing very well, the timing of the meal was very quick but not too fast or too slow. Each course (8 total) complimented the previous. Against other restaurants it was cheaper and had exceptionally better flavors.
The atmosphere was great and it was clear the team works very well together often covering each others tables to ensure that every patron was taken care of. Also a note there is a tip for the kitchen staff on the bill (I’m fine with that but fair warning to those who prefer tip sharing). Only negative for the atmosphere is the view was a bit lackluster, if it was on top of a building it would hands down be 5s across the board.
I cannot recommend or state enough that SRV wins my choice for best bang for your buck in Boston.

Food was fresh and beautiful, but honestly tasted a bit better the last few times I was there. However, my server Danny was phenomenal. Incredibly accommodating for my son's nut allergies. Chef made him a delicious snap pea side with his scrumptious pasta and meatballs. Tasting menu was the perfect portions as well.

Couldn't ask for a better spot to photograph a wedding. Amazing food, incredible staff and the perfect intimate setting for a wedding. I've always felt so welcomed walking through the doors and if you're considering SRV for your wedding day, you won't find a better spot in the city.

SRV is one of the best restaurants in Boston. The space is beautiful especially when the front doors are open. The service is always exceptional. But the real reason to go there is the food. On my last visit I really enjoyed squash blossoms, fried quail, and corn torta. Every time I go I'm reminded that I don't go often enough.

I had a phenomenal experience at SRV. I have Celiac Disease and have to adhere to a strict gluten free diet. The team at SRV went above and beyond to accommodate me from clarifying my needs to carefully outlining the gluten free options on the menu and reiterating with every dish what was safe. We had the chefs tasting menu and every bite was divine. Can't wait to go back!

Great Venetian Style Restaurant. Best place in Boston to experience the Aperitivo and Cicchetti of Venice.
They have Select Spritz as well which is the Venetian version of Aperol Spritz.
We highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to try the northeast Italian cuisine.

I attended a wedding here and the service was sincerely excellent. The staff were all attentive, friendly and smart. The food was delicious and unique. We enjoyed several pasta dishes, pork loin, cod and everything was plated gorgeously and accompanied by tasteful sauces. The cocktails and drinks were amazing too! What a lovely wedding!

I can’t say enough about this restaurant and I’m so glad that I was able to get a reservation here! Definitely don’t sleep on this restaurant and enjoy their rotating menu. We had two different pasta dishes and both were absolutely incredible. The waiter was just as good as the food as he was very descriptive and excited about the menu. Lastly, we got a rose sorbetto at the end, which I am so glad we did not miss out on. We would definitely down here again in the future!!

We went to dinner after a show at symphony hall. No reservation, but they had bar seating. Staff was polite and attentive. The food was amazingly delicious. We did 1 an small plate and each had a main dish. It was just the right amount for two people. They make all good from scratch, so plan for a little wait to be served.

Wanted to come here for a while and finally made it, well worth the wait.
Loved the food!
Unfortunately ate most of the dishes before taking a photo but everything was really good!
The duck cappellacci are delicious, the ambiance is beautiful and I’m so happy I tried this place.

Haven eaten all around the world from street food to fine dining, I can say whole heartedly this was one of the best experience I've had. Kristina was amazingly attentive and had great recommendations. Definitely a must try restaurant in Boston!

Phenomenal contemporary Italian restaurant with impeccable food and service.
My friend and I took a visit here about a month ago to enjoy innovative Venetian dishes. Known for their cicchetti, SRV seemed like a perfect place to try a good variety of small plates. We were intrigued by some of their cicchetti and decided to try six, and each cicchetto was light and not overly flavorful. Our favorites were the pistachio meringue and the baked mussels, and both were certainly great introductions to our meal.
Out of the appetizers, we loved the porchetta which was extremely tender and flavorful. Fried sprouts gave it a nice contrasting texture, and its seasoning and the purée made an interesting flavor profile. While the lobster risotto wasn’t as impressive as the other plates, spinach corzetti was fantastic. The portions were quite big, so I would recommend getting one entrée if you’re sharing a lot of cicchetti.
SRV changes its menus quite frequently, so some of these descriptions may become irrelevant soon. Nevertheless, they seem to excel in creating sophisticated flavors. Overall, our experience at SRV was beyond our expectations, and I would highly recommend trying as much cicchetti if possible.
