    After 20 minutes of the fire alarms going off and interrupting my guest’s birthday dinner I would have expected that the restaurant would have offered to compensate a round of drinks or something. There was no communication made to patrons about whether we should sit or evacuate. It was as though the staff went about business as usual while we were going deaf and wondering what the situation was. Not a great first impression for my guest.
    Vinotta RestaurantResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the disruption caused by the fire alarm during your visit. We understand how frustrating and confusing that situation must have been, especially during a special occasion like a birthday. While the safety of our guests is always our top priority, we clearly fell short in communicating what was happening in the moment, and we regret that it impacted your evening. Your feedback is important, and we’re using it to improve how we respond and communicate during unexpected situations. We’d love the chance to make this up to you and provide the experience you and your guest should have had. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you're open to continuing the conversation.

    Outstanding. Exceptional. A Total Gem. Don't miss. The food was simple amazing. Terrific service, comfortable atmosphere. Everything we tried was so delicious, well prepared and presented elegantly. Unexpected to find such good pasta dishes on Moody Street in Waltham, but don't fight it - just go eat there. I can't wait to go again.

    Waltham gem for fine Italian cuisine in a cozy contemporary setting with pale blue and white decor, including professional and knowledgeable staff dressed in crisp, blue plaid vests. A polished, but nonetheless relaxed experience. Veal piccata,Red snapper and chicken Marsala were all delicious mains.

    Excellent service, food, ambience. The carpaccio, mozzarella, and bolognese were fresh and served at the right temperature. The wait staff and maitre d were professional and responsive. And the price was reasonable. Will be returning!

    Sadly we were not impressed! Hostess was not friendly… we had a booth by the door and spent the meal uncomfortably cold, hostess would not accommodate our request to be moved., her attitude was not welcoming.The food was ok nothing special… We have to give our waiter Christian an amazing review! He was attentive,polite and went out of his way to please!
    Vinotta RestaurantResponded on 12 March 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with us didn’t meet expectations. We always want our guests to feel welcome and comfortable, and it's clear we fell short in that regard. We’ll be following up with our team to make sure every guest is treated with warmth and hospitality from the moment they walk in. Keep in mind we are a very small restaurant. We're glad to hear that Christian made a positive impression and provided great service—we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future on a less energetic day when seating is more flexible.

    Outstanding all around! The food, the service, the atmosphere are all first class. Owners come and speak with you and you laugh. Going to be a regular place for us when looking for authentic Italian in a wonderful place. Don’t usually do reviews but had to In this case - it was that great.
