" Came here for brunch and disappointed to find that while the ambiance was cozy and inviting, the food didn't live up to the hype. I found the mac and cheese to be average and overpriced. I might give it another shot in the evening for dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband surprised me with dinner at Contessa for our anniversary! The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was romantic. I enjoyed the fresh seafood, although I felt the portions could have been a bit larger for the price. Still, I would highly recommend for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibe at Contessa is incredible, and every detail looks well-thought-out. I had the chicken dish that I thought would be amazing, but it turned out bland. The drinks, on the other hand, were fantastic. It's a beautiful restaurant, but the food varies. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience dining at Contessa! Each dish was presented beautifully, and the staff was attentive and friendly. I tried the risotto, and it was one of the best I've ever had. I left feeling satisfied and would definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I visited Contessa and were impressed by the beautiful decor. The food was good, but I can't say it was authentic Italian. The service felt a bit disorganized during a busy time. I liked the drinks, though! Would return to try other items. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was mixed. The ambiance was gorgeous, but there were several things I could nitpick. The portions felt small for the price, and the menu was limited. Still, everything tasted good, and it made for a nice evening out capturing city views. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here for my anniversary and it was splendid! The service was top-notch with staff who were constantly checking if we needed anything. The views of the Boston skyline were breathtaking. I had the Bolognese and it was hearty and flavorful. Just a tad pricey but definitely a worthwhile experience. " (*Curated Review*)
