Right next door to Neptune Oyster. Wait was going to be almost 2 hrs so tried my luck here and was not disappointed with the seafood. Lobster Roll is pricey but it is a lot of lobster!

A lovely spot on a narrow street, open to the sidewalk. Service was very friendly and personal. Cocktails made with top shelf liquors and expertly mixed. The food, apps to salad to entrees was outstanding! Well-blended flavors with just the slight amount of heat seasoned everything pleasantly. The Seafood was fresh, jumbo sized and ample...from cioppino to lobster roll to seafood topped risotto! We luxuriated in the ambiance, conversation with the staff and the delicious presentations. Top of my list for the NorthEnd!!
Great atmosphere lived the personalized service our server Janet was on it with recommendations and fast service. Exactly what I was looking for on a block of Italian restaurants i was not sure where to go but the friendliness drew us in. It was an excellent choice.

We’ve liked Rabia’s in the past. So we brought a group of friends whilst visiting Boston. Never again! The restaurant was empty when we arrived (in the North End, there’s your sign). Once we ordered it took OVER AN HOUR to get our food, and 2/3 of of the dishes we ordered we not as described on menu. When this was mentioned our server shrugged her shoulders. All of 6 people at 2 tables came in between the time we ordered and our food came out, so it wasn’t that. Furthermore, the room was uncomfortably cold. It was in the 30s outside and when we asked server about getting some heat she said “my boss gets mad if we turn it on.” What!?!?! This extreme wait time was especially painful since we were only in the city for the day. Never again will we give them our business. Far too many choices in the North End to settle for this awfulness.

Unfortunately, we got sick after eating here. We did inform our server of our gluten allergy (celiac's) prior to ordering, but definitely were exposed last night. We had heard from several friends that this was a great place for gluten free peeps in North End, but sad to say that's not the case.
Best waitresses ever!
Aiysha our server made the experience a 100/10. We just came for fresh east coast oysters and they have a lot of different ones to try. We got a few of all of them. They were all delicious and we had a phenomenal time because Aiysha was so fun.

Very sketchy place, someone close I know has worked there for a month & checks are insufficient funds. Messed up plus kitchen employees been saying it’s been going on for a while leaving some unpaid!!!! No one should be working for free !

A truly great place. Not trendy so it seems often ignored which makes it an easy to score reservation. Been several times over the last few years as we travel to Boston about once every 18mos or so.
Only two people working the kitchen with extremely long wait for food
Food was good once you got it, but it was an insane wait. We were seated at 7:05, ordered at most 10 minutes after, and didn’t get our food until 8:15. Service staff avoid interacting with you.

The food that came was very delicious but nothing like the original Rabia’s.
I would recommend anyone venture and try many of the other wonderful restaurants around there.
