We were staying at the Park Plaza and decided to try this restaurant. It was the earlier side of a Saturday night so it was not too busy. Everything was delicious and we appreciated management asking us about our meals and taking our thoughts to heart and bringing us an alternative from the kitchen that was fabulous.

Excellent birthday experience!!

Daughter’s 18th birthday. Family of 4 dinner. Food was ok. 2 dishes were a bit too salty. Appetizers were better than main dishes

Very underwhelming

I would highly recommend Strega Back Bay Italiano!! I had an unforgettable experience since I walked in till the minute I walked out!! One of the best places in Boston for bussines meal or something casual!! We will be back soon!!

amazing restaurant, hands down. attended a solo dinner for a work promotion and was met with such pleasantries and attention. the lobster ravioli was beyond delicious, and the surprise champagne was a lovely treat in addition to one of their fabulous cocktails i’d already had my heart set on. the perfect ending was the tiramisu, presented with a beautiful chocolate congratulations on it. will absolutely be returning for the outstanding staff and delectable menu!

This restaurant has it all, ambiance, great service and food, cozy booths and most importantly, you can hear each other talking with ease. The sound buffers on the ceiling are game changers. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I must say once again Strega Italiano - Back Bay did not disappoint! Coming back after the holidays and being greeted at the front door by Brett and him remembering me and my guests by name, makes it even more special. Than Darwin & Stephanie were outstanding bartenders/servers with tremendous recommendations to me and my guest. To top it off with than an outstanding dinner and cocktails.
I HIGHLY Recommend Strega for any occasion. There are not enough stars to praise this experience and staff. I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you Brett and team.

Not the same as it used to be since the menu changed.

Everything about this evening was first class. It was New Year's Eve and we had an early dinner (7:45) before going to a house party. They did not rush our meal and the service was very good. They had a music trio providing dinner music which added a very nice atmosphere for the evening.

New Year’s Eve diner date! Everything was just great!

Amazing, incredible, delicious food! Portions large (the roasted chicken and the NY Strip steak anyways). Staff was so attentive without being annoying. Ambiance was Italian music, classy staff and dim lights ..best for NYE! I wish there was one in NH So I could go weekly! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Food was delicious. They make a really good barrel aged Negroni too. All in all, a really nice dinner.

We sat at the bar and had great service. The food was delicious and the bartenders were extremely helpful when we asked for suggestions on wine. We ordered the veal osso buco and half chicken (chicken picatta), both were great.

Terrific from bread, to soup, to salad, to pasta. Server was attentive and amenable to some special requests. Restaurant makes clear attempt to social distance the guests. Great night. Prices really reasonable for quality of food and wine.

Great service, beautiful appeal. must have the octopus!!

Parking is not easy in Boston, need to use the garage, which itself costs us $25.00.
Ill stick to Strega in Woburn. Free parking!

We had a wonderful meal . The wait staff, bar and chef were amazing . A true dining experience!

Not only was the server extremely late to our table the same applied to the table next to us. The GM apologized to both our tables but service was slow all night!
Beautiful restaurant, magnificent wine menu and display, but the bubble was burst.

Oscar was awesome, as were the waitress and big shout out to the gentleman who greeted me when I arrived and seated us…he also checked in on us during dinner.

Thank you!
Happy Holidays!

Christmas Dinner

Excellent from burrata to outstanding roast chicken and swordfish.

Great dining experience. Food was fantastic, service was attentive, courses were appropriately spaced out. Would definitely return.

Good Pork and beef meatballs. Good Rigatoni. Nice atmosphere but lobster ravioli was not good. Courses were not timed so pasta was served when we were eating salad.

I wish there were more vegetarian options but the food was so good!

Strega is amazing, the food, service and staff are the best Bret is very kind , and has the restaurant running like clockwork. We had ours sons rehearsal dinner at Strega in September, it was fabulous from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back to Boston and dine at Strega.

Got to Resturant early seated promptly
Food hot and delish
But noise level very high when we left at 7:30

Had a great night out dining with my friends. Beautiful restaurant, great food and good conversation.

Birthday dinner

We celebrated my husband’s 70Th birthday. They provided him with a complementary dessert with a candle and a chocolate piece with Happy Birthday on it.

Birthday dinner for wife

Good food. The Caesar salad had too much dressing.

desert was really great. Birthday tiramisu was delicious, although bit too sweet. The best desert was espresso affogato. Thank you for the wonderful experience. We will be back

Waiter did not understand our drink requests a couple times.

Four of us for dinner. Each meal was delicious! Key lime dessert was amazing, best cappacino I've ever had. The serving staff were great! Will definitly be returning.

We loved our first experience at Strega. The food and service were excellent. The ambience was delightful and the music was on point. Definitely a 10/10. We can’t wait to come back.

I can see why this is an easy place to get a table at. No one wants to go and the management/food is at best sub par.

All this being on a Saturday.

Terrible food appetizer through dessert - tiny portions of poor food terrible value for your money - service tried hard but couldn’t overcome terrible diner food past off as high end gourmet stuff - horrible time for 3 special occasion cost $250 stay away you’ll Thank me

Amazing food and amazing service. Absolutely no complaints. Our anniversary dinner was perfect.

Maybe I just had a bad server but did not like the service. Food wasn't very good either.
