- NnanpNew York / Tri-State Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had not been back to Massimo's in over a year, but we were thrilled to be back with the excellent menu and outstanding waiter. The execution of the primi piatti - agnolotti ravioli, tagliatelle carbonara and farfalle Bolognese - was exceptional - so delicious and the demi portions were generous. Combined with a variety of shared appetizers and the burrata salad created a beautiful feast. Thank you, Massimo, we will be back again soon.More infoRistorante MassimoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portsmouth•4.8

- OTOpenTable DinerGreater Boston •1 review4.0Dined 5 days agoI made a reservation back on November 6th to reserve an igloo last night, November 28. I spoke with someone and specifically mentioned the igloo as I had just seen the instagram post that they were open for the season. I received the confirmation email on Monday 11/27, I of course confirmed we would be there at 7:00 pm. When we arrived last night, 11/28, I checked us in at the hostess station letting them know we had an igloo reservation. The woman at the hostess podium let us know that they didn’t have my name reserving an igloo, and also that they only reserve them in 2-hour increments; 4-6, 6-8, etc. she concluded that whoever I spoke with not only didn’t know how to reserve/specify an igloo in the system, but didn’t know to hold it for a 2-hour block. We ended up sitting at the bar, and our meal was very good but, since we had specifically intended to visit because of the igloo, I was a little disappointed with the mixup.More infoRooftop at The EnvioPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Portsmouth•4.1
