    As an Italian immigrant, I am always looking for good, real Italian food, and most times I leave a restaurant disappointed. But not last night. My wife and I met two friends at Vinotta last night and as always I walked in a bit skeptical, but within minutes I felt differently. We were greeted by the most gracious hostess, our server came right away, told us the specials, pronounced all dishes properly and made some recommendations. The food was OUTSTANDING! The flavors were incredible. I had the “Calamari so good” which was indeed so good..my wife had the shrimp Portofino, which was delicious…our friends had the grilled octopus and they raved about it. We then had lobster ravioli and the Bucatini alla Romana.. Everything was delicious… As we walked out my wife said to me “You have to take me here again for a romantic dinner just the two of us “… Can’t wait to go back. Grazie Dante e Fausto! A presto di sicuro. Roberto

    Had a great meal at Vinotta with carpaccio, mussels and an amazing carbonara dish with pasta made in house! Outstanding service, too especially by bartender extraordinaire Rebecca. Will be back!

    Best eggplant rolotini I have ever had and pasta was hot and dente. Our waiter was accommodating and attentive and the space is beautiful. My new favorite Italian in the Boston area!

    Food was good overall. We were there with another couple and the appetizers (meatballs, bruschetta, calamari) and desserts (chocolate lava cake, creme brulee) were good. For mains, my husband really liked his filet mignon. Nice flavors for my shrimp and clam pasta but the linguine was over cooked. Service was mediocre. We were made to feel like we annoyed our server every time we made a comment, eg when we wanted to stay with the wine we ordered instead of the one he tried to push us towards or when we asked him to repeat a couple of the specials because we couldn't hear due to the noise level. We also never got water refills when our glasses were empty. Been several times and our prior visits were definitely much better. Hopefully, this was an off night. For the prices, we expect more.
