Great evening at Standard Italian. The lasagna bolognese & papparadelle w rabbit are phenomenal. The service is outstanding. Sat at the bar and our wonderful bartender continuously refreshed our martini glasses to give us a new cold one. Batch cocktails were delicious; well priced Italian wine list. Highly recommend.

Quedamos impresionados con la calidad de la comida. De autor. Tenemos un paladar muy exigente y esta cena fue sin dudas nuestra mejor experiencia gastronómica en Boston. Las porciones son muy generosas y la relación precio-calidad es imbatible. El servicio al cliente muy cálido y orientado desde nuestra llegada. Este lugar tiene un crecimiento seguro.

Food is all great, but what will bring me back is the olive oil martini. That's a flavor I didn't know that I needed in my life.

Really enjoyed the grilled octopus from the Feast of Seven Fishes (and the scallop crudo and Uni caviar prosciutto crostini).

It’s worth coming here just to experience one of Jackson Cannon’s very labor intensive signature drinks, such as the olive oil washed Standard Oil martini. After tasting one of these savory and silky flavor bombs, I’m hooked. Pairs perfectly with the mortadella skewer or bay scallop appetizer. Also Enjoyed the crunchy porchetta platter, will have to try the pastas next time. Place is a bit tricky to find the first time there, but from Eastern Standard look for the sign and follow the trail of little lights.

Garrett and the team have done an incredible job making Standard Italian an absolute must visit. The space is lovely with an attention on conversational seating. We loved our wait staff who were both attentive and friendly. The signature cocktails were excellent (get the Negroni!) and the food was outstanding. I am Italian and I tire of the usual tired take on Italian food, this is a twist on the classics. Our table of 5 each had a different entree and there wasn’t a miss in the bunch. Fisherman’s stew, rye campanelle, squid ink bucatini, rigatoni amatriciana, and the porchetta were enjoyed by all. Wonderful way to spend the evening!!
