Ricky and Silvi are the best duo working together! They made sure my family was treated SO nicely and it was the best night. They were so friendly and everything came out super quickly! The hostess Chloe was also a sweetheart. This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Boston and I highly recommend. The ambiance is also just amazing and cozy.

Meh. Food was pretty good, service was adequate. Was seated next to the stairwell, so not ideal. Was a good meal, ice cream for birthday treat. Nothing spectacular.

Me fiancé and I love Ciao Roma! We come back for our anniversary often! Not to set an expectation, but they honored the “anniversary” mark on our reservation and put out confetti, a specially printed “anniversary” menu, and even gave us a glass of Prosecco each! So delicious, beautiful restaurant - I always recommend it to visiting friends.
