    Absolutely wonderful! This week I had the pleasure of having brunch one day and lunch another day at Contessas. Brunch was delightful. Portions were more than we expected. And Cappuccino was so perfect! Lunch was amazing the lobster with angel hair, fried chicken, arugula with squash so many unique dishes and all were great! My husbands steak was cooked to perfection. Special experience both times with the best service. We will be back next time we visit Boston.
