Guest impressions

What people say about Contessa Boston

There are many guests that comment positively on the rooftop location, Back Bay and Public Garden view, well-finished interiors, and the overall atmosphere established before the food comes. The pasta, carpaccio, seafood, cocktails, and brunch menu items have received lots of praise, while service is considered professional. But there are some things that might not be as perfect because of the glamorous nature of this place, such as the slow pace of the service, brunch menu options, and lack of memorable dishes, but only great atmosphere.

Restaurant overview

About Contessa Boston

Contessa Boston occupies the rooftop area of The Newbury Hotel and offers food inspired by Northern Italy in an open-roof restaurant dining room. The visual ambiance is a very important part of the restaurant, with views and design that resemble that of a destination rather than a neighborhood restaurant.

The menu for dinner includes pizza, pasta, grilled seafood, chicken, lamb, veal, filet, ribeye, and Bistecca Fiorentina. There is also breakfast and lunch in addition to a weekend brunch for travelers who stay around Newbury Street or the Boston Public Gardens.

The booking process at Contessa Boston uses the Resy app and may be difficult during sunset and dinner hours. It would be helpful to make the reservation in advance, especially when the view is more important than the mere presence.
