Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Needham

Great service, good food, delicious cocktails.

I brought my nephew to Gluten free Monday. He has serious food allergies and does not often get to experience dining out. The wait staff (Ryan) and Manager, Maureen made him feel exptra special and paid very careful attention to his significant allergies. We had a great evening and I will definitely go back! Thank you!

Met up with family for brunch. Awful weather so the restaurant was not busy when we arrived. Service was very pleasant and attentive. Gluten free bread for dipping was provided as well as to accompany my Crabcake Benedict. Delicious. Test of the party had the Short Rib ( great) and the Lobster Crepes ( also very good). My son ordered some Bombolini to share. ( basically 2 giant Nutella Doughnuts) Cocktails were good and came promptly. Parking is very easy right out in front so we didn’t have to spend a long time in the rain after we finished. Would do this again. Nice brunch with interesting options.

I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

Was my first time here & everything from the second we walked in the door was outstanding! Hostess very friendly and accommodating, had a drink at the bar first and decided to stay at bar for dinner, both bartenders that helped us were great! Food and drinks were also excellent - not one negative thing to say all around! It was a busy Valentine's and everything seemed to run smoothly (and if it wasn't no one let it show) I did feel bad as we were getting ready to leave the fire alarms went off and seemed to panic some guests - hopefully it was resolved quickly. Cant wait to come back!
