I loved everything we had here! Lovedddd. The shrimp? Divine! My husband loved his spaghetti and I enjoyed my tagliatelle as well.

Always a good vibe at Contrada, great spot for a date night. Drinks and food and service are always top notch.

Took myself for a solo dinner and was very impressed by everything. The aperitivo hour offered some amazing deals. I had the mackerel crostini which was a perfect start. (It took a lot self control not to order several more). And finished dinner with their pork chop which was INCREDIBLE. So juicy and the breading and sauce added such nice flavor. Add in the perfectly balanced “Monkey and Bear” cocktail and a hand selected amaro from the bartender and this was the best night of self care. Gorgeous space as well with fantastic service from the whole staff.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Contrada. The food and service were excellent. We were seated in the back room. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays and felt warm and cozy.

Everything was delicious! The bread to start was chef's kiss. Followed by the spaghetti and pork was the perfect combo to share. To end we had cappuccinos and olive oil cake to share. Will definitely be back again for date night.

Every bite was delicious and especially enjoyed the sea bream and olives with Gorgonzola. Waiter was great too...did not rush any part of our dinner and was very knowledgeable about the menu.
Wendy
A total win. We were there early enough to take advantage of their excellent aperitivo hour deals, and everything we ordered was excellent. Smaller portions but very bright, fresh and interesting flavours. Super creative cocktails and a nice, concise wine list. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend!

Had a lovely evening at Contrada. Warm atmosphere, cozy, and every dish was incredible. For starters we had the grilled shrimp over polenta (delicious and perfectly cooked shrimp) and the crispy oyster mushrooms with arugula (addictive). For mains, we had the duck confit agnolotti with orange and pistachio (rich but bright) and butternut squash ravioli. Finished with a delicious apple dessert. Service was excellent: attentive and friendly without feeling pretentious or overbearing. Overall, we had such a beautiful meal and experience. I would absolutely recommend Contrada — it's the perfect spot for a relaxed but special night out.

Our experience was pleasant. When we first walked in the reception was a little bit cool, not cold but a little too cool. We were asked if we had a reservation, it took them a little longer than it should have to find it, but they finally did. They offered us a table in the far back corner, which was definitely not the most desirable table in the house. I asked if there would be a different table where there was chairs instead of a corner bench area. I pointed to one that was vacant as were most of them at 6:30 in the evening. I was told it was spoken for, so I asked him if there was any other than in the corner. He then offered us a table by the window in the front area, which was far better than the back corner. Why we weren't offered that one to begin with, I don't quite understand. The waiter did lighten up and become a little more friendly, so I don't have a lot to complain about. But, what I stated is the reason they don't get a five star. The excellent food from the chef made it all worthwhile. All in all the service lacked a little bit.
Contrada was so good, the pastas were delicious. It had a very nice atmosphere, and the server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great for a date night. I also liked that they had an a happy hour.

The cavatelli and the spaghetti pasta dishes were lovely. The lamb rib and mushroom appetizers were fantastic too. Also loved the chocolate bar with ice cream dessert. Great service.

Contrada staff went out of their way to make my boyfriend's birthday feel so special. They were extremely attentive and the ambiance was beautiful! It's definitely a pricey night out though

It is a cute little restaurant on college. The ambiance was nice and the service was very good, but the food was just okay.

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and were treated to complimentary Prosecco to start the evening. Our server was very attentive - she went according to our pace - never felt rushed. Everthing we had was excellent - everything from the house bread to the linguini. The oyster mushrooms were outstanding!
