SRV | Boston's Hidden Gem Italian Restaurant

Back for my monthly tasting adventure! This time I discovered this intimate Italian spot in South End focusing on Venetian flavors. Fun fact: the chef is a Northeastern alum! 🎓 📍 569 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA 02118 【Cicchetti】⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The biggest surprise! Small-bite appetizers that pack huge flavor: 🐟 Baccalà: Salted cod with oceanic notes - surprisingly balanced! 🥪 Calabrese tramezzini: Salami sandwich with magic sauce 🦐 Shrimp en saor: Good but skip-worthy 【Roasted Delicata Squash】⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎃 Nice texture but too mild - needs more personality 【Monkfish Risotto】⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🍋 Lemon-forward squid ink risotto! So refreshing with pickled onions 【Duck Breast】⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🦆 Perfectly roasted with crispy skin + pomegranate gems ⚠️ Earthy rutabaga & braulio sauce not for everyone 【Tiramisu】⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ☁️ Game-changing with crunchy cocoa nibs! 🍹 Cocktail Ranking Fairbanks 🥇 Cottian Spritz Canarina Carbone The brick arches and candlelight will transport you to Venice! 💫 Pro tip: Book 2 weeks ahead for velvet booth seating #VenetianVibes #ChefsTable #DateNightGoals #BostonFoodie
