Wow. This is the kind of place where I’m sitting there thinking, “now this is 5 stars.”

It came to light because at some point we heard that 1) they had won a James Beard award (which is on display right up front), and 2) the Culurgiones (Sardinian stuffed pasta) were to die for.

When we arrived, we immediately appreciated the level of service provided - for example, our coats were taken and hung up. The wine menu is also authentic Italian - I ordered a Nebbiolo rosso.

As a party of two, we split an antipasto, a primo, and a secondo. First was an excellent burrata. Second was the famed Culurgiones (pictured) - so pillowy and tasty. Third was the roast half chicken. This was the best roasted chicken we’d had in quite a while. So juicy and well seasoned.

We finished with the tiramisu (tasty, well-presented, and bigger than we thought) and the cannoli (comes with two).

The atmosphere was lovely and so was our server, Paige.

Looking forward to coming back sometime!

I just walked in there asking if the kitchen was and the host confirmed saying to order whatever I want. I wait 10 minutes for service only to be told the kitchen JUST closed. I walked out saying to the host "so much for that".... he didn't apologize...... just a sarcastic " have a good night"

What a lovely place. The ambiance is inviting and can be romantic. The food was very delish. We started with the mussels. I enjoyed the flavor but didn't care for the mayo bread it came with. I would have preferred to have just bread and no mayo. For dinner I had the lamb ragu. It had the best flavor and was rich tasting. My friends got the truffle roast chicken. For dessert I had an espresso martini. It wasn't too bitter and tasted great. I would highly recommend this place.

What an amazing gem of an Italian restaurant 10 mins walk from Seaport district. The ambience, set up, food and most importantly the guys managing the ship. Sublime! Grazie Mille!

If you are in the area and in need of a welcoming crew to feed n make sure you have the best choices in wine - you must drop in here. ❤️🙏

We came for the Bilt Rent Day special and the experience was amazing. Environment was a highlight. Food was a 4.25/5 but the experience was very well curated and drinks were a 5/5. Value for the Bilt miles was 5/5

The food is delightful but the portions are comically small. I think as an average sized woman, I could maybe have eaten 2.5 portions of what they consider entrees. Waitress did not offer us advice on how to order based on the skimpiness of the portion size.

Very good experience at bar volpe. Service was friendly and prompt and had great suggestions. Can defiantly get on the noisy side once 7PM hits, so be aware.Food was very good. I will definitely be coming by again to try other items on the menu. 5/5

Tuna crudo-
acqua pazza, sungold tomato, chives. A citrus water base combined well with yellow tomatoes and basil- although the tuna was drowned in it. It would have made the tuna soggy if I didn't eat it quickly. That being said,
The tuna was fresh and good quality. Good taste a slightly flawed execution 3.5/5

Salted cod fritters-
za'atar, pepperoncini aioli. Nice and crunchy on the outside with a nice zest. Inside you get a slight brineness with a healthy amount of cod. The aioli add a nice sharpness to the dish. Rather yummy 4.5/5

Roasted truffle chicken
black truffle, tuscan kale, fingerling potatoes. I was told this was the dish they are known for and that it usually sells out. I can see why people like. The chicken skin is nice and caramelized and bursting with real truffle flavor. This soaks into the meat of the chicken, which was perfectly juicy and tender. The kale added a nice bitterness and the potatoes were potatoes. One of the better chicken dishes I've had 5/5

Chocolate Peanut Butter Semifreddo
pretzel brittle, candied peanuts, valrhona satilia, cocoa nibs. Great way to end the night . Decadent semi sweet chocolate paired well with the salted pretzels. I added a scoop of hazelnut icecream ,because why not. 4/5
