    I was really excited to dine at Contessa in the Design District after trying the Boston location. The service was good as was the ambiance. The shrimp raviolis were a nice appetizer, however, the lamb did disappoint. It was fairly fatty and came out cold. Not a bad experience overall, just would recommend an entree other than lamb!

    Not our best visit … They forgot our appetizer. Finally got it with our main meal after they apologized and said it didn’t get ordered and didn’t comp it. One of our entrees came after everyone was done eating and it was not edible they did comp that one They kept saying “it’s coming” 2 out of 4 enjoyed their meal so that’s why I didn’t give a zero The pizza was really good and 2 enjoyed their steak and lobster pasta Also they serve diet coke in a skinny glass filled with ice so after 2 sips, it’s gone. They don’t bother to tell you that refills are not free so basically one can of soda was $24 This wasn’t my first time there and it’s been better in the past, but the fact they didn’t comp the app and the long wait for gross chicken and ridiculous price for Diet Coke- the could have done better!! Probably won’t be back.

    Few dishes were not available. The places is nice but the indoor room it’s too dark, you can’t hardly see the food.

    I’ve dinned here three times this month; twice inside, once outside. The inside noise level is unsupportable, please turn down the music level. It’s so loud, it’s uncomfortable. Tonight I couldn’t wait to finish and leave.

    The restaurant is beautiful and the food and service are great. I'm not a fan of music while eating and it could have had less volume. I thought the portions were small given the cost.
