   We had a terrible experience. It took them one hour to give us our appetizers. Also, they charged us $18 for water and didn’t tell us we were purchasing water. When I asked about the water charger the waitress was extremely condescending and talked to me as if I’ve never gone to a restaurant before. Absolutely terrible service and the food was okay. The manicotti was burnt, and the chicken Parmesan was okay but bland. The zucchini flowers were pretty good, but the service ruined the whole experience. Both the tables next to us received their food later than us and they arrived there before us. All of us were extremely annoyed.

   The service was very slow on a Thursday night. The food was good but not amazing.

   We had a party of six and evidently there was only one person working in the raw bar. We ordered a market price shellfish tower and it took over 50 minutes for us to get our appetizer. When the main courses were delivered the first three arrived about 7-10 minutes before the other three. From my perspective this was all on management as even our waitress was over extended covering too many tables.

   Great, and I mean, really great food. We have been long time customers through three iterations of AquaPazza menus and keep coming back because the food is amazing. The service has also been outstanding including this visit, although our long time favorite waiters have moved on during the pandemic. AquaPazza has now jammed in more tables than before. It is so crowded that I thought 5 two-tops were one big party. Even on a Thursday it was so crowded and loud, we couldn’t hear each other nor the staff. Hope this gets addressed or some of those tables will be empty anyway.

   One of the best qualities of this restaurant is the friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our bar tender waiter and the maitre D'. Our food was tasty and portions generous.

   Restaurant overbooked and told us we have 90 minutes for dinner. Spaghetti were plain and mussels were dime sized with a pea sized meat inside. Tables are crammed together and noise is quite high. On another hand, the server was excellent and seemed embarrassed. He tried very hard to make this an better experience for us. At the end of the dinner he brought us a treat.

    The overall experience was dreadful. The tables were squeezed in to accommodate those outside reservations which were moved inside due to the weather. When we sat down we were told we had to order out apps and entrees at the same time to “move things along”. After we finished our dinner the waitress told us “management told her they ran out of dessert”. How can a restaurant run out of dessert at 7:30?? Everything was done to turn the tables as quickly as possible. It was like a cafeteria in a middle school. Frank DiPasquale should be ashamed of himself. I will never go back. We were treated like animals.

    Came here for New Years Eve. The food was amazing, as was the service. Get the kampachi crudo, you will not regret it. Also loved the linguini with clams. My fiancé had the wild boar papardelle and said it was fantastic as well.

    The food was very subpar. A few tiny shrimps and a foreign lobster that was tiny on one dish. The car dish had a tiny piece of cod. And the veal Milanese was tasteless.

    Food was mediocre. Service was extremely rushed - it was clear they wanted us in and out to turn the table over as quickly as possible. Our whole anniversary dinner experience was 45 mins. The worst part was that the server who was otherwise nice, had someone at the front who looked a little out of her element, to validate our ticket. When we received our “validated” ticket and went straight back to our car to leave the parking structure, we found out our ticket wasn’t validated after all. And had to pay 5x the price that we should’ve paid. This was certainly an error on the part of Aqua Pazza and not the parking structure since we use it all the time to dine in the north end with validated parking. If it wasn’t raining, I would’ve walked all the way back to the restaurant to get it re-validated. Obviously, person up front didn’t know how to validate properly and didn’t do it correctly. She should take it more seriously and ensure she does it correctly.

    The service was absolutely amazing! The ambiance was gorgeous. The food however, I’ve had better. I had the spaghetti Vongole which didn’t have a lot of flavor. My daughter had spaghetti and meatballs and I have to say the sauce stunk. The meatballs lacked flavor and because they were in the sauce, not very good. The carpaccio was good but I’ve enjoyed better. Again the service was stellar but the food was lacking. Not worth the price I paid.

    Perfection as always!! As a neighborhood local I love coming often and bringing my family here when they visit as well! Everyone was thrilled with the exceptional quality and taste of the food, great wines (we love the Amarone), and fantastic service. They especially loved the beef carpaccio, zucchini flowers and the pappardelle cianghiale. Wonderful as always and they can’t wait to come back.

    We were delighted to find somewhere open on Thanksgiving, as we had just arrived in Boston. Food here was good, particularly the zucchini flower starter and the espresso martini to finish. The ambience is nice, save for the football game playing on a TV in the corner. Felt a little bar like with that. But, the help would overcome any flaw anyhow. Our waitress was a delight, I would come back just to see her again. She was absolutely run off her feet, but still managed to be attentive and personable. If I could give 6 stars for her I would.
