š Giulia: Bostonās Impossible-to-Book Italian SpotāWas It Worth the 2-Week Wait? Scored a last-minute reservation after weeks of trying (thanks, insomnia!)āand this Italian gem lives up to the hype⦠mostly. From standout burrata to underwhelming pastas, hereās the breakdown of this hard-to-get table. š The Must-Orders (These Justify the Hype) Burrata š§āØ ā¢ Bostonās bestāno contest. Creamy, cool burrata paired with warm, charred bread (that slight is key) and a zesty mix of tangy toppings + citrus fruits. ⢠The contrast of hot/cold, rich/bright is genius. Order this firstāyouāll thank me. Roasted Pear Salad š ⢠A flavor puzzle: Salty, sweet, sour, creamy, fruity, and a hint of bitter (from greens). Itās not love at first bite, but it grows on you. ⢠The roasted pears are the starāsoft, caramelized, and perfectly balanced by crunchy walnuts. Shame there are only 4 pieces! Panna Cotta š® ć»A post-pasta savior: Light, rose-infused (cream jelly) thatās not cloying. Refreshing, floral, and so good I couldāve eaten two. The ideal end to a heavy meal. š The "Meh" Pasta (Skip or Share) Tagliatelle with Beef Ragu š„© ā¢ Rich, buttery sauce with ground beefātastes good, but lacks depth. The pasta is soft (not al dente) and the portion is tiny. Papadelle with Wild Boar & Black Trumpets š ⢠Earthy, mushroom-forward, and greasy. The wild boar adds a gamey kick, but itās overshadowed by the heaviness. Both pastas are flavorful but underwhelmingāespecially for the price. Stick to apps and dessert. š The Details Service: Warm and attentiveāthey wiped the table between courses and warned us about tricky steps on the way out (nice touch). Vibe: Cozy, dimly lit, and romanticāgreat for dates or special meals. Price: ~$75/person (plus a 3% kitchen fee)āsteep, but the burrata and panna cotta make it feel worth it. Parking: Street parking (luck dependent, but manageable). #BostonItalian #HardToBookEats #ItalianFood #BostonDining
