Principessa Ristorante

Great place to relax and have a nice experience. Reservations are necessary. Also a dress code is in place. We are inside but you can eat harbor side. The portion size is a great value for the money. My food was a little more salt ridden than I would have like. I was also surprised that there were no cannolis or tiramisu on the menu. Overall good experience.

I wish I had checked the reviews before coming. The food was incredibly salty - all three pastas we ordered, plus one of the appetizers, were nearly inedible. When we mentioned it to a waitress, she said they wouldn’t charge us for one of the pastas (even though everything was overly salty), but they still included it on the bill.

Our own waiter completely ignored us. Nobody cared to pour our wine, and when we asked for the check, we waited a good 10-15 minutes. I asked our waiter twice - no response. I finally asked another server, who brought it right away.

For a restaurant at the 5-star hotel, the service and food were a huge disappointment.

Food was terrible! pasta was cold, chicken was rare, coffee was cold also. Service was nice.

The resort is beautiful; location is great. Restaurant was inviting. Waiter was training a new waitress; they seemed a bit lost. I liked the peach appetizer and I do recommend that dish.

Principessa Ristorante is a beautiful spot inside the Boca Raton, with polished indoor seating and a stunning outdoor patio overlooking the marina and yachts. I’ve dined both inside and out, and the setting is impressive either way. Service was excellent; Alex took great care of us.

The food was good, though not quite on the level you’d expect from such a grand location. The grilled Spanish lobster 🦞 was the standout of the night, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Peroni on draft is always appreciated, and the salads topped with shaved parmigiana were fresh and well done. The grilled octopus 🐙 was flavorful but a bit too chewy.

The spicy pasta with rock shrimp 🍤 was the only real miss. It tasted like a spicy red sauce tossed over kid-style pasta with tiny shrimp. It didn’t match the elegance of the rest of the menu.

That said, the bread basket was very good, the fingerling potatoes were especially crispy and seasoned well, and the cappuccino at the end was smooth and satisfying.

Overall, it’s a lovely place with thoughtful service and a few standout dishes, but the food doesn’t always match the upscale feel. Go for the view and the lobster, and maybe skip the spicy pasta.

Absolutely overpriced and overrated. However it does set up that socioeconomic barrier separating the rich from the poor. 😉

My wife and family enjoyed a nice dinner with a waterfront view. The meals were great and atmosphere was relaxing.

I have been a member of The Boca Raton Club for a number of years. My dinner last night was not enjoyable.

They brought my girlfriend her appetizer but never brought mine until I asked for it 10 minutes after she was finished.

Then they brought my main course, but they never brought her main course until I asked for it. By the time they decided to cook her salmon, my steak was, of course, cold. And I'll get into the steak in a moment.

They were so screwed up.

It's so disappointing and embarrassing as well. I live 500 feet away on the grounds of The Boca Raton, and I can't even go to this restaurant again because it's just not good. They are rookies!! It isn't very comfortable.

PRINCIPESSA have a 3.9 rating at a five star hotel? Are you kidding me? I never go to a 3.9 rated restaurant. Ever! They should close this place up and start again. Get new management and fix it.

The ribeye steak looks like a minute steak. Terrible!

1000 feet away, Boca Raton has several fantastic five-star restaurants. If you are a tourist and staying at the hotel, go to a good restaurant. PRINCIPESSA isn't one of them, and I hate to say it. I really do. Just go to Palmetto Road and take your choice of wonderful restaurants.

And I have to say this again to the Boca Raton management. You are a five star hotel what the heck are you doing with a restaurant with a 3.9 rating in it? Below average. Below par. You'd actually have to look HARD to find a 3.9 restaurant in Boca Raton. Read the reviews here. A lot of them say the same things and you continue to ignore. Obviously The Boca Raton and PRINCIPESSA won't fix it because it keeps falling on deaf ears. Wake up! this is inexcusable in a five star resort! Open your eyes, please! I don't want you to fail, but I can never go to your restaurant again because you guys simply don’t care. What is your answer to having a 3.9 rating? Do you really think it's acceptable?

In Boca, you actually have to go out of your way to find a restaurant with that low rating. when are you gonna fix it? Do you ever expect me to come again? And just a footnote this is the second time that I've had a bad experience there. And then I didn't go there for another year or more hoping that it would be better. What an idiot I am!!

I really hate to put up a bad review. But you guys need to get your act together. There were 12 customers in the restaurant and they couldn't even serve us correctly? They couldn't even get the order right!

So the only thing I can do is post this to alert other people. Tell other people. And I'd rather tell them it was a wonderful experience, but I have no choice. other than to tell them it it was a horrible experience. And as you read other reviews, you will see that I am right on target and they just don't care.

i'm sure they could care less about this review just like they cared less about the other reviews because they never fixed anything. They just ignore.

Arguably one of the best restaurants at the Boca Resort. Not only does this place have some of the best food but it definitely has the best view in all of Boca Raton. Try and get a table outside overlooking Lake

We are staying at the Yacht Club at The Boca Raton. It took about a half hour for us to be seated despite having a reservation. The servers were doing their best to provide good service but were overwhelmed. I made the mistake of ordering the rib eye, which was the leanest, thinnest rib eye I have ever had so it was dry and didn't taste good. The prices were high for such ordinary food. There are much better restaurant options at the resort. I guess if you are getting pizza or pasta, it would be okay.
