Filippo Ristorante & Bar

"The appetizers in this place gives you the feeling that you are going to be in for a great meal. Unfortunately, everything goes downhill after the apps. We ordered the lobster ravioli, it came with a very off-putting white sauce that looked like milk of magnesium. The veal marsala was so salty it was barely edible. On a positive note the appetizers were really good..I really don't get the hype behind this place though"

"The restaurant hits that nostalgic homestyle Italian restaurant. Portions are good, prices are fair, and flavors are simple but well grounded."

"Excellent place to eat very authentic Italian food in Boston! Staff was very friendly and the food is delicious! We were surprised on how inexpensive it was for the quality of the food! Especially as a tourist in Boston! Would definitely recommend!"

"Get a true taste of Italy. Fantastic, authentic, and classy. I shared a dish, but if you eat like Kobioshi you can try a whole dish to yourself. Save room for desert the cheesecake is delicious. Got to love supporting small business the blood line of America!"

"Went on a Saturday when it was absolutely bucketing down rain, but it was definitely worth the wet feet. The bread is amazing. The Guazzeto di Mare is what to get when you want /all/ the seafood. Calamari, shrimp, and fillet of sole in a light red sauce sit atop perfectly done and flavorful lobster ravioli. (For about the same price as a basic lobster roll at today's - summer 2023- prices, and /so/ much more worth it!) Be sure to save a last piece of bread to get all of the sauce. Perfect New York style cheesecake, unadulterated by sauce, and cappuccino to finish. I tried to wait our the rain with a second, and never felt rushed or that they were waiting on me to make room for the next group."
