Fantastic food
Recommended by the bell captain, he couldn't have been more right. Food was phenomenal. Close to the airport, casual
Return whenever near by
Wonderful Lobster Ravioli, you can really taste and see the lobster in these! Octopus is so tender it melts in your mouth, not one bit chewy. So delicious. The pasta Fagioli was Amazing!
Neighborhood Italian. I'm so glad that we stumbled upon this hidden neighborhood place last night. It doesn't look like much from the outside, sitting in the heart of the newly rebuilt Maverick Square T stop. But step inside and you are greeted warmly by a genuinely friendly staff led to a table one of the two dining rooms. We ordered two excellent martinis from their full and inexpensive bar, and got a starter of the fried calamari with a spicy red sauce for dipping, large portion and easy for sharing. Another favorite starter is the caprese salad, easily big enough for two to share, the presentation is beautiful and the tart basalmic dressing is addictive.
Our meals of the veal picatta and veal parmigiana were both authentic and superb - and unbelievably reasonable at $14 apiece, a great deal considering Boston's generally high prices. The same holds true for their wines which $5 by the glass or about $15-20 for a bottle. I'd strongly recommend the light and fruity sangria though, one of the best that I've had in Boston. Subsequent visits have been consistently excellent, with their standout dishes usually being seafood. The swordfish puttanesca is generously portioned and quite fresh, as is the risotto di mare which is overloaded with baby clams, calamari, mussels, and shrimp.

The place is romantic and comfy. The food is good only this time around. I will not order the Lobster Ravioli. The sauce was too much for me .. very pasty, dry. Everything else was good 👏 Service is great 👏 will go back try other dishes. Enjoy!
No frills, good priced restaurant. Got the lobster ravioli and it was just fine. Don’t expect fine dinning but the people are lovely and it’s open pretty late.
It is a very cozy place in Downtown Boston. The food was amazing! My girlfriend and I like to share food, so we ordered an appetizer and an entree. The server was very accommodating. The prosciutto stuffed mushroom appetizer was absolutely amazing! We also had the chicken and broccoli fettuccine Alfredo and it was very good! I highly recommend this restaurant. However parking is a nightmare.
DePalma is a wonderful little Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and authentically decorated. The service was attentive and gracious. The food was out of this world. The mushrooms stuffed with Cajun sausage was impeccable. The calamari very crispy and cooked perfectly. I had the Cajun swordfish over linguini. Probably the best I have ever had...
If you're in Boston and have a craving for nItalian cuisine, this is the place to go.
Great neighborhood Italian place. Excellent chicken Marsala (enjoyed more than what I've eaten at former Jevellis). Been eating Italian in Eastie for over 25 years. Would recommend. They are especially accommodating to Spanish speaking customers due to some staff being bilingual or perhaps trilingual.
Cozy Italian place in East Boston. It's not posh or gourmet, but the food is decent and it feels like a classic Italian place like America has had for decades. Nice vibe. I had chicken porcini with linguine, which was pretty good, though the sauce was a bit watery. I'm not sure if that is normal or not. Good flavor, however. The house chianti was delicious. Friendly staff. We really appreciate that they are open late, since we had just flown in from the west coast.
Really delicious chicken parm and fettuccine Alfredo. Perfect meal after a long flight into Boston. Just a short ride from the airport.
THE BEST Italian food I have had in the United States. The lobster ravioli, wine, atmosphere, and server (Luisa) were all incredible. I'll be back on my next trip to Boston, this is within walking distance of the airport.
Came here by recommendation of my air bnb host and it was a wonderful experience. Got sangria, beers, calamari and pasta. All came out hot and tasty! Great service, very friendly and the pricing is very reasonable. Would come. Back. Nice decor and atmosphere too!
Like fate, our train on the subway broke, and we ended up needing to find a place to eat in walking distance (staying at Hilton Logan and preferring not to take yet another $50 Uber somewhere), and I stumbled upon this restaurant from googling nearby and open late restaurants, thus ending up at D’Parma.
It was destiny for sure because the food was seriously the most authentic Italian food I have EVER had in the U.S! We had the lobster ravioli, which was literally completely filled with huge chunks of fresh lobster, drenched in a perfect Alfredo sauce… absolutely amazing! Then we also had the veal parmesan and it had the perfect amount of delicious homemade breading and covered in mouth watering marinara and mozzarella cheese! We have quite the sweet tooth so despite being satisfied and hunger quenched, we had to try some of the Coppas for dessert. The Pistachio and the strawberry caramel, both being the perfect finish to this perfect meal! The service was good, as our waiter was very kind and helpful.
We cannot wait to return to Boston and this hidden gem! Thank you so much. We’re going to be thinking of this meal for days.. months.. hopefully will be back before it turns to years 😘
