Everything took a very long time! Rez for 6:30pm. We all arrived and sat at the table by 6:40pm. It took restaurant 25min to simply take our drink orders. It took 40 min for server to take our food order. 15 min for the bread to come out after requesting it, (given only by request I guess, not placed on the table). The bread came out cold & hard w/ the smallest bowl ever of olive oil for dipping the bread. Entrees arrived at table at 8:06pm; again, we were all seated by 6:40pm. At this point I’m hangry. The octopus was admittedly very delightful. The bass was pretty good too. The untimely service and long wait times overshadowed the tasty food.

Delicious Italian food with great flavors and ingredients. The menu is lean with rotating features but excellent options and good sized portions. We went for dinner with a group and the service was attentive and helpful including allergies in the group. Their cocktails are inventive and refreshing and pair well with the menu, which has some nice twists on more classic Italian fare. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the evening. A great place for dates or dinners with friends.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. The waiter had just the right level of attentiveness. The decor was hip and modern. Our view to the street outside was lovely. The bread was so good. I am usually a warm bread basket person. This bread was room temperature and delicious. I had fish for my entire and wasn’t sure if it was going to be filling but after dessert I was pleasantly full. The Panna Cotta was a more soupy consistency which I haven’t had prepared that way before but it was delicious and the added cranberries was a nice addition. Would definitely go back. Our reservation was at 5:15 pm and that was the perfect time. By the time we left it had gotten pretty crowded.

Loved everything about this restaurant, the energy, drinks, food, waitress, the place is really nice and perfect atmosphere for a girls night or a date, waitress was amazing telling us about his favorites and house specials, the lasagna 10/10 light and delicious! We loved all the drinks but Aperol Spritz have my whole heart ❤️ 10/10!

Boston/Cambridge, once again, opens another restaurant that feels unnecessarily exclusive, very expensive, very pretty, and yet, the food falls flat.

Bar Enza was amazing! It would be perfect for a date night! The 100-layer lasagna was pretty awesome and everything was aesthetically pleasing. The sauce for the fried calamari was quite delicious as well! Very cheeesy!! The only caveat was the pricing on dishes—expensive for what it is. Otherwise, an overall great spot to hang out in an intimate setting.

Good Valentine’s dinner. Regular menu was not available so not sure what their normal offering is like. I really enjoyed the cocktails and the romantic but cool vibe. The space is brand new and tastefully decorated. Solid flavors and attentive service but food lacked presentation and that special touch to match the atmosphere. We tried a bit of everything and the pasta fagioli, rigatoni, and roasted chicken were the best. I found the panna cotta a tad too tart. Chocolate torta was slightly dry. Overall, a dependable choice if you’re in the mood for Italian in a beautiful restaurant.

Bar Enza was the perfect date night choice. When we arrived we were pleasantly greeted by the host and the esthetics and decor were beautiful! My waitress provided top tier service and had great recommendations which enhanced our experience. My dinner was perfect! I started with a salad, greens were fresh and crisp. The scampi 10/10 I will definitely be returning for this dish. Finally I had gelato for dessert. Thank you Bar Enza for an amazing night out I will see you soon!!!

We order two lasagnas for our monthly date night and we had the unpleasant surprise of a flavorless, dry and poorly presented dish. We though the name of the dish was a concept, not a description of what we were going to receive.
