    We were therefor a birthday celebration. Food was good. We had pasta, ravioli and fettucini with bacon and cream sauce. They added some festive birthday touches - confetti, etc. All in all a very nice evening!

    We had the Dine Out menu which was tasty- food was very good. The portions were rather small for the price, however. Two ravioli is not really an entree. I was upcharged $3 for my salad for switching out a cheese which I didn't like to mozzarella. Seems a bit petty since we had a couple of drinks each, as well as coffee with dessert and left a generous tip.

    We visited this place initially for dine out boston. We ended up ordering off the regular menu. We had the meatballs and calamari for apps. And then for dinner the Caesar salad with steak and the pork chop. For dessert we had the New York style cheesecake. Over all the food was like 6/10. Apps were cold, Steak was bland, though pork chop seemed like it was brined well flavors of the dish kinda interfered with the eating experience. Way too sweet. That being said drinks were very good and so was dessert. Also our server was very nice and accommodating so it made our dining experience pleasurable overall. If you’re in the area and want a quick snack, dessert or drink I’d recommend.

    All around ok, but disappointed with the server who wanted to take the bread plate off the table while we were still eating. And the management did not know how to process Open Table reward points requiring a bit of effort after dinner to reclaim points.

    We enjoyed our visit to Il Massimo. The service was very attentive. My Pollo Limone dish was good but not great, while my friend's scallops dish was very good. It's a nice destination if you're looking to go out to eat somewhere in the Dedham area. I have been to this restaurant before and would go back again.

    Went there for my birthday, and it couldn’t have been nicer. I had the short rib gnocchi and my husband had the lamb chop Parmesan. Both excellent. We really appreciated not being rushed. The lovely waitress even brought us limoncello shots all around at the end of the dinner.

    Food and service were excellent at Il Massimo. My only complaint was that it was a bit pricey for the modest portion size. I went during brunch, but would definitely like to go back to try their full menu.

    We had a very bad experience at your establishment on Wednesday, March 15. We had a reservation for 6:15pm, but we arrived early so we sat at the bar and had an appetizer. Shortly after, it was time for our reservation. We were seated at our table. Our server was a man named Tony. We felt that he tried to push the regular menu on us. When we told him we were there for Dine Out Boston, his attitude towards us had changed. Throughout the night, we felt rushed. We ate dinner in record time !!! It was a very uncomfortable experience. We told the host about our server and dining experience. He did apologize, but did not get a manger to rectify the situation which led me to believe that nothing will be done to better the situation. I wish I had stayed at the bar because the bartender was terrific. On the plus side, the food was very good.

    Service was great, food was ok. Not a ton of really healthy options. Our salmon and pork was a little dry. For the price ($33/dinner) I would've expected it to be a little better.

    Once a month my girlfriend ls and I meet up at a different restaurant to catch up and we waited to eat here because when we tried over the winter it was closed. We felt the waitress was rushing us to order and when we finished our meal we did not order dessert so it was here- pay. When we told her we had not looked at the menu she was very put out. I wish I could remember her name but we sat by the kitchen in the back right of the restaurant. I ordered the chicken parmigiana which was tough to cut. I was not impressed.

    This was the second time we've been to Ill Massimo in the last 3 months. If I was to review it the first time we went, I would have given it 5 stars! This time, I'm only giving it 4 stars - service, although the waiter was very nice, was very slow. I ordered the same entrée as the first time, the duck with gnocchi. The first time It was served as duck breast, seared to perfection. This last time I got 2 very dried out duck thighs and leg. The gnocchi and the sauce were still wonderful, but big disappointment with the duck.
