    Third visit and still enjoy SRV. Love the maltagliati with lamb sausage and the vongole. Miss the beef crudo (tartare) that was amazing. Really find the space to be comfortable as well. Only issue is the outdoor seating. We were sitting at the table immediately to the left as you come out. The bench runs along the wall and is right over the exhaust fan. It was miserable sitting there and I was melting into the chair. I'd say this seating should have never been put in. It really made for a horrible start to the evening until we were moved - thank goodness!!!!!!

    One of the best restaurants I know of in the Boston area. Highly recommended for the food. Why else does one go to restaurants anyway? It's very unusual to find combinations of flavors and textures that I haven't had somewhere before. Their dishes managed consistently to surprise and exceed expectations based on other Venetian-style foodie restaurants. Waiting staff was exceptionally pleasant -- not "Hi my name is Bob and I'll be your server tonight" but some real conversation, and brief enough not to be intrusive.
