This place is great. Came here on a date after work because another oyster spot was packed. So we came here and sat at the bar , me and the boyfriend got the half seafood tower and it was delicious and the price is justified. The lobster and king crab were sweet with seafood flavor. The oysters were clean and sweet as well the typical sauces were good as well and very clean. We ordered another dozen oysters and got the short ribs and polenta and was very good, meat was seasoned to the center. Also got the deconstructed tiramisu and that was great as well.

Without a doubt, the best Italian food and dining experience I’ve ever had.

This is definitely a hidden gem. We have traveled exclusively through Italy and everything we have tried here has been equal if not exceeding the best food we have eaten in Italy. Giovanni the manager remembers names and keeps the quality of every dish served. I highly recommend giving it a try, you will not be disappointed.

We waited an hour or so to be seated because we didn’t have reservations. This place is really small but if you can get in, it certainly worth the wait. We went there about 3 weeks ago and I’m still dreaming of that pesto pasta dish.

Service was slow, waited a good 15 minutes to get spoken to. Mind you that it wasn’t busy at all. Also order a pasta dish and was charged $20 to add burrata to that dish. Basically charged for the appetizers but didn’t receive any of the sides it comes with. I wasn’t aware of that til the bill came out. All and all I wouldn’t recommend unless you want an up-charged meal in Boston.

The whole concept of Aqua Pazza was very similar to that of Mare Oyster Bar which is only a block away. Since they are operated under the same ownership, this was expected, so we decided to go for dishes that seemed more unique.

The pasta is good, but not for the price that they charge. We ordered their 2 best pasta dishes/most expensive and they are very small and do not taste great. Instead of going here go to Il Panino which is from the same group and it is totally worth it. More reviews in Instagram @pa.babear

Great seafood, okay prices, and mediocre service. Got the shellfish tower which was definitely the highlight of the meal. Delicious, fresh seafood and worth every dollar. Price for the shellfish tower is 100% worth it. Other dishes were pretty good, though pasta dish portions were small. Service was lacking. We were pushed into the corner of the room (one person in our party was stuck between the table and the wine rack), with the server coming only occasionally, food taking a long time, and a generally non-attentive wait staff.

Great food and great service! This resturant is part of Mare and Assaggio and you can not go wrong coming here for dinner. Outside seating area available. Cozy small bar inside… great cocktails (good espresso martini and spritz). Food was delicious and first time in Boston I found the Orata fish (Mediterranean fish) … very good! Risotto with fish was special of the nite … good portion and tasty.

Delicious!! We ordered the crab cakes, one of the specials (a lobster soup type thing…), the risotto, and gelato for dessert. Everything was incredibly tasty! We had a question about the crab cakes and the executive chef/owner, Mike, came to our table to answer any and all questions! The service was wonderful (Leighton was our server) and the atmosphere was great — very lively! We highly recommend dining here!
