Orfano - Boston

Decided to stop at this restaurant based on Capital one dining restaurants recommendations and am glad I did! Even though Orfano does not have a display to call your attention from the outside, the interior design is quite astonishing. Me and my fiancé sat at the bar and the customer service we got was top notch, and it's very rare to find places where you feel like the staff truly care about your experience and service while dining. Drinks were absolutely phenomenal! Just superb and on point. We also shared the pasta bolognese, and it was just very tasty and a bliss. Highly recommend this establishment.

This restaurant is phenomenal. The decor and ambience is very nicely done. I felt very comfortable and classy. The food is delectable. Many other reviewers complain that the garlic bread wasn't free but if you want free bread go to bertucci's. I do not know many restaurants that give out garlic bread for free. The service and staff are all top notch and very kind and accommodating and the space is clean.

Everything was perfect! Service was A+ from the moment I walked in. All of the food came out at a perfect pace. Now for the taste, absolutely amazing. I was so full I had to take a dessert to go!

My family and I had such an amazing time at Orfano the other night for my birthday dinner. The Orfano team took such good care of us and we had a really delicious meal. We loved every plate: the garlic bread, the giant mozzarella stick, lobster bucatini, and rigatoni bolognese. The chicken parm was so large it covered the plate! The wine was also exceptional. Would definitely return in the future!

We were really looking forward to coming here based on the reviews and James Beard finalist nomination. The restaurant is beautiful and whimsical, and the staff seating us in a comfy booth was very friendly and nice, but unfortunately that is where the positives ended. The food was both very ordinary but at the same time was so covered in creamy/cheesiness that we felt sick after eating such rich food. Even both salads they offer were covered in gloopy creamy dressings, and showered in mountains of cheese. The garlic bread which we were so looking forward too was probably the best part, but even that was vaguely stale in texture and not anything special. The clams in garlic broth were a little tough and hard to eat, and the mains felt like we were eating at a chain Italian restaurant. The service was slow and somewhat indifferent. We came in excited and left feeling disappointed and vaguely ill.
