Contessa Boston

Great service and ambiance that has skyline views. The food is good and has gluten free options.

This place is a 10/10! The whole aesthetic is exceptional- from the decor, to the service, the drinks, and the food. My husband has celiac and was able to eat so many items. Our server, Daniel, is honestly one of the best waiters we’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable, had wonderful recommendations (even wrote us a list of cool things to do in Boston)- he deserves to be recognized. The food was chef’s kiss! We had the beef carpaccio, gluten free wild boar pasta, gluten free spicy lobster penne, and the crema di Boston- everything was outstanding If you are able to make a reservation here- do it. It’s a rooftop restaurant and the views were great even though it was overcast. I can’t imagine how beautiful it would be on a clear summer day.

When you walk into Comtessa the ambience is gorgeous and full of natural light and plants. We went for an anniversary celebration with friends for brunch and were placed at a table with a view of Newbury Street and beyond. The service was excellent. My friend has a nut allergy and they took extra precautions to make sure she was safe. The food is delicious (highlights include the meatballs, scramble carbonara, squash carpaccio and side of crispy potatoes). My only dock for one star is that there should be more vegetarian options including an egg choice, as well as a green salad and side vegetables. The menu could be quite limited especially for folks avoiding pork and/or gluten.
