That was the toughest steak I’ve ever seen it was like cutting through a football

The menu was very appealing, and every dish sounded wonderful, especially the mushroom and lobster risotto. However, when it arrived, it didn’t quite match what I had envisioned. The presentation felt more like a creamy congee with sautéed mushrooms and a piece of lobster on top, rather than a traditional risotto. It simply wasn’t what I was expecting.

Had an amazing experience at Bar Enza!
The food was genuinely delicious, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. But the highlight of my visit was definitely the service — our waitress, Barbara, was incredible. She was so kind, attentive, and had such a positive, uplifting energy that made the whole dining experience feel even better. You can really tell she cares about her guests.
Highly recommend coming here, and if you’re lucky enough to get Barbara as your server, you’re in great hands! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

such a gem - great food and really good gf options (including pasta!!) I feel like these other reviewers are harsh as it’s quite hard to find a nice upscale restaurant in cambridge and this was truly such a treat!

Unfortunately when I went there most of the beautiful dishes advertised online were not available in the menu. For appetizer I ordered the Parmesan toast and it was absolutely delicious. For entree I ordered the Lumache and it was
absolutely disappointing. Dish was literally tasteless!! I don’t not recommend ordering it. My husband ordered the ricotta nhoque and it was fine. I might have ordered the wrong dish, but I won’t come back to try again.
The food was mediocre at best.
Great bread basket though.

I wasn’t expecting the food to be this good. I’m not usually a big fan of Italian since I like food with stronger flavors, but everything was super flavorful. I had the shrimp scampi—honestly, Cheesecake Factory ruined that dish for me so my expectations were low, but this one was amazing. The salmon was also delicious, with perfectly crispy skin.

We stay at the Charles Hotel whenever we come to Cambridge. We love to eat at Bar Enza! The food is always excellent and the service is terrific! The knowledgeable servers and the support staff are always doing everything they can to make our dining experience extremely pleasant. For a hotel restaurant it is a practically perfect dining experience!!!

Did the Xmas special menu, good value for money and a decent spread. Some dishes not to my taste but overall very serviceable, good for date night.
