    After doing research on a good place for a nice dinner, La Summa did not disappoint. Since I was traveling solo, I was concerned that service would not be the same as if with a group; I was so wrong. I was greeted warmly and my server Sharon was excellent, she made the experience even better. The cheese ravioli app special was delectable, and the Barbara’s special was just as delicious, although most of that went home with me. I look forward to some day returning to Boston and having dinner at La Summa again.

    The food was excellent. Our servicer Andrew was fabulous. It's a small neighborhood Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, the night we were there, a large, loud group of people were there, which made it every hard to have a conversation without yelling to each other. Generous portions of very good food.
