Boston food | I declare it the atmosphere brunch ceiling

🍴 Contessa Brunch: Boston’s Rooftop Gem—Sun, Sparkle, and That Lobster Pasta After falling for Contessa’s stunning glasshouse during dinner, I knew I had to return for brunch as spring finally hits Boston. Sunlight, a crisp drink, and that same elegant vibe? Yes, please. ✨ The Vibe: Still Stunning The interior is just as gorgeous as I remembered—every corner feels curated, from the polished tables to the soft lighting. We lucked into a window seat, and the natural light made everything (food, photos, mood) brighter. Worth the early booking for that glow. 🍝 Hits (and One Miss) Lobster Pasta 🦞 • Still the star. Spicy, creamy, and packed with lobster—tastes like a fancy take on Chinese "crayfish noodles," but with a rich dairy kick. It’s bold, addictive, and somehow feels made for our palates. Order it. Squash Salad 🥗 • A surprise standout: Roasted squash (tastes like pumpkin) with balsamic glaze and pumpkin seeds. Fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced—light enough for brunch, but flavorful enough to feel special. Margherita Pizza 🍕 • Thin, crispy, and simple—tomato, basil, mozzarella. It’s good, but not memorable. More of a "shareable side" than a main. Bread Basket 🥐 • A winner: Mini pastries, crusty bread, and a cheesy danish that’s buttery and flaky. Served warm, so every bite is crispy. We polished off the "large" basket (no regrets). Eggs Benedict 🍳 • The letdown. Dry, tough bread, and ham that tasted off. For a spot this polished, it’s a head-scratcher—skip it. 📍 Pro Tips Book at least a month out (we waited weeks for this slot). Snag a window seat for maximum sunlight and people-watching. Brunch leans fancy, but the vibe is relaxed enough for mimosas and laughter. Contessa’s brunch isn’t perfect, but that lobster pasta and glasshouse view? Enough to bring us back. 🌸 #BostonBrunch #RooftopEats #FancyFeast #SpringVibes
