Our favorite restaurant in Boston! As always, a warm welcome by friendly staff followed by great cocktails. Excellent food included gnocchi, salmon & delicious, authentic marinara & meatballs. Staff was accommodating & did not rush us at all! I even was given a Tshirt in celebration. A must do when in Boston.

As a treat to myself, I found this hidden gem on Google. A photo of the giant meatball appetizer drew me in (of course, I had that). Let me tell ya!! This is legit

Went here with coworkers on a business trip to Boston. Hostess was friendly and seated us right away. Initially put us at a really tight table by the window. As a plus-sized diner, that wasn’t going to work for me. So they immediately offered us a different table with much more room. Our order was taken quickly and all the food came out immediately. Hot and delicious. The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive. As I said, here on a work trip so we talked shop and the level of service was greatly appreciated as it did not impede conversation. Would recommend for anyone looking for a small spot with good food and good service.

Lobster meat risotto was to die for. Our server was so friendly and funny. Everyone else enjoyed their food. Drinks were good and strong . It sounds like not every dish is everyone favourite but I would definitely come back to try a bunch more dishes..

Came out to have dinner at a new restaurant and we were very pleased with the service and the food. Our waiter was very friendly and patient with us while we looked over their menu.

I travel for work and Rabia’s has consistently been one of the best meals I’ve had coast to coast. Honestly, my first time I went was because the line at Neptune next door was too long. I was worried when I was able to walk in on a Friday night with a couple people and we didn’t have to wait for a table. That is when I stumbled upon a very happy accident. I love Cioppino and there’s is the best I’ve had from San Francisco to Boston. Does it have some lobster meat in it? No, it comes with a half of healthy sized lobster and there broth is perfection too. Not just the Ciopinno, but every entree and appetizer my friends and I have had when we are in town has been amazing. Likewise, on top of the food the service is impeccable. Every time we stop in for dinner they make us feel like we are at family’s. We laugh with the servers and they take care of any request anyone has. My only hope is that next time I’m in Boston the rest of the world hasn’t found out how great this restaurant is, so I’m still able to stop in for a meal.

I had hoped for much more given the past reviews…but torn bench cushions, blaring playlist, and off oysters is just too much for me to overlook. When the bread is the best part of the experience by a mile…Do better/Be better.

If you want a really fun drink and delicious seafood I definitely recommend. The oysters, shrimp, and grilled octopus were amazing! If you get a goblet drink make sure to take a fun photo and video when the drink is poured in
