I absolutely love this place for casual drinks. It's quiet, service isn't obtrusive, and the espresso martini is to die for. I love all of the other cocktails I tried too.
Most days it's not terribly busy so you can grab a seat by the door, which lets you people watch all you want. It's fun to see people milling into Mike's Pastry across the street.

This tiny little gem of a place was recommended by my sister who “happened upon it” 2 years ago and loved it! We made a reservation for our group of 5 (6 is probably the max you would want to bring in), and enjoyed every dish (we all tried something different) and a delicious Chianti...our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu...and we moved on down to Modern Bakery afterwards for Boston's Best Cannolis (vs the more well known Mike's across the street!)! I highly recommend Cafe Amaro (which I will be sure to stay for dessert next time to try their tiramisu)!

On our summer trip this year, we stumbled upon the cutest and quaintest little Italian restaurant in Boston. We tried the Rigatoni Bolognese, Calamari Fritti and the Prosciutto & Fig Pizza. The food was delicious and the staff we so kind and happy.

It was our first time to Amaro. Very quaint, but works. Bryan was our server, there were a few wine options off the menu not available, but we landed on a bottle and it was delicious. Antipasto and pizza for the two of us. The platter is well laid out with plenty of meat/cheese/veggie and cracker options to satisfy 2 people. Pizza crust is wonderful. Bryan was perfectly attentive and we had a very enjoyable meal.

Cute dining area, with both standard seats and high tops. We ordered 3 pizzas to share (margarita, carbonara, and barrata/added prosciutto), and the dough/crust was amazing on all. It was thin but had enough structure to hold itself up in a fold and not soggy. Tomato sauce was delicious, not too tart. Would order all again, and also try their pasta if have the pleasure of returning to Boston.
Cozy, small spot with very good arancini, meatballs, and a caprese salad. Everything was pretty excellent.

Although I kinda get why, it’s ridiculously expensive to eat here. $35 for a Chicken Parmigiana that’s probably a little bigger than snack-sized (incl tax and tip).
The food is definitely authentic, so that’s a good thing, but feel like it can be a little better, especially with the pasta being a little undercooked. The sauce has a nice and subtle flavor.
The chicken is definitely undercooked and fried inconsistently. I could feel that some parts of the chicken breast was not fried enough for it to be soft and tender.
The place is extremely small and kinda cramped, so you might have issues siting and getting out. I would not recommend if you have a large party, or any more than 3 people.
Service is terrible. We sat in at 5PM and started by asking for an espresso after a long day of exploring Boston. The waiter immediately said we should walk across the street for coffee then walked away. We were actually going to sit for a meal and drinks but he wouldn’t know that because he refused to serve us. Avoid this place.

Die vermutlich beste Soße die ich je gegessen habe! Die Pasta Marsala war außerordentlich lecker und auch die Pizza sehr gut. Hierbei ist zu beachten, dass die meisten Pizzen „white“, also ohne Tomatensoße sind. Der Kellner war sehr freundlich und auch extra Wünsche waren kein Problem. Insgesamt ein sehr zu empfehlendes kleines Restaurant

They would have 5 stars if it wasn't for the waiter. He was so rude for no reason. He refused to serve waters until we had ordered and refused to refill them while other customers were getting them. It's sad because they would have gotten 5 stars as the food was terrific but this waiter seriously is a detriment to this business.

Rude waitress, almost had to beg for a menu! As a server myself it was hard to believe the standard of customer service. Maybe caught them on a bad day.
