    Erbaluce is a lovely little Italian / seasonal restaurant tucked into the Bay Village area of Boston. A great get away from the theatrics of similar caliber Boston restaurants. The staff are very attentive and know the menu and wine selections very well. I like going there for their carbonara which is always served al dente and with egg on top. The main courses rotate nicely with the seasons and any of these choices are excellent.

    Nice restaurant - food was good, but not outstanding. Great location near the theater, but pretty slow service. Very limited beer choice - lots of wine by the bottle.

    Outstanding! We were greeted by a wonderful hostess and immediately directed to our table. The dining area was energetic but not too loud to enjoy our conversation. Our server was gracious and informative. He assisted with a sparkling wine selection which was spot on. His description of the specials made us want to try everything. We were on a mission to find the best Carbonara and we were not disappointed. Our server made sure we knew that chef built his sauces on natural ingredients and did not use butters or creams as a base. I do love my butter and freely admit that I was a little apprehensive but the dish was outstanding. We also selected the Cacio e Pepe with Truffles. After a recent trip to Italy we were hoping that this dish would match up and after one bite we thought that Chef might want to head over to Italy and teach them this recipe! It was delicious. If you are looking for wonderful dining experience, you have to visit erbaluce!

    erbaluce is an amazing restaurant!!! Chuck and Joan have created such a comfortable space for dining on the most well-rounded and crafted dishes you can find in Boston. The pasta is the freshest, most perfectly cooked pasta you will ever eat. The meat is always cooked to perfection. The plating is beautiful. Ever dish is full of flavor and delicious. I recommend the caccio pepe, bucatini and pork cheek. Or anything on the menu. I've also heard the bar menu is great!

    Maitre D' looked really stern and could sometimes be seen reprimanding other waitstaff. Dining environment would be improved if staff were better treated: they all seemed to be working under a lot of pressure. Food was excellent though!
