Reviews for Cafe Amaro in Boston, MA
No spices or flavor in food/pizzas. No garlic, no oregano… However, the pizza crust is very good. They were NOT... accommodating to a couple w a baby. Couple left. Read more
Nice easygoing restaurant, great service, but just average food: burrata was tasteless, pizza is more New York style than... Italian. Margherita had very little mozzarella cheese, and the tomato sauce was very spiced. Read more
Kim was our server and was very kind, it is a small gem of a cafe right across from Mikes pastry’s, with prices unmatched by... the whole street with quality just as top as everyone else in Bostons little Italy. Thanks Kim and Cafe Amaro! Read more
Great service and outdoor seating. Menu is dishonest and has overpriced items. Caesar salad was not using homemade dressing -... tasted grocery store bought. Meatballs were tasting like they were from the grocery store as well. Same for calamari. Fine forjust drinks though. Friendly service. Read more
Scopa is an intimate, handsome Italian restaurant serving up some decadent meals. Not a lot of seating, but we didn't have... trouble getting in on a Sunday evening. Our waitress was very pleasant and prompt. She was very apologetic after spilling alittle water on my menu and plate. We had the arancini, carbonara, and short ribs. The arancini was the weak link. It wasalmost overwhelmed by an almond extract type flavoring. Not sure where that came from - maybe the breading? - but they werejust alright. The short ribs were incredibly tender. My boyfriend loved them. He thought the truffle gnocchi was, well, tootruffle-y, but he wasn't expecting much else (he loves short ribs, but not truffles, so). The carbonara was the best part -some of the best carbonara I've had since visiting Europe. The egg was placed on top so you got to burst the yolk and mix it upwith the noodles. Fun and absolutely delicious. Like all carbonara, it was VERY rich and as such it was hard to finish all ofit. I guess the restaurant was a little more expensive than we were expecting (although we could have gotten pizzas - thosewere practically steals). Still, Scopa was a great way to finish off a great vacation to Boston! Read more
Very nice restaurant. Service was exemplary, they gave us complimentary bread and olive oil. Burrata is very well prepared and... worth a try. Pasta options are pretty good. We got bolognese and butternut ravioli. Read more
Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food! We stopped here on a very hot Saturday afternoon. While the restaurant is small,... they had the perfect table for 4! Our meals were delicious and the chef was awesome! If you're looking for something moreauthentic, defiantly stop by Scopa; you won't be disappointed! Read more
pizza was decent, arancini appetizer not so much, but most importantly business is shady. A bottle of wine labeled $38 on the... menu actually charged for $58. Called the restaurant and the manager promised will fix it… nope, still charged the originalamount. Read more
