   TLDR Went there for date night with wife while daughters had a quaint dinner party for one of their birthdays with a couple of friends. One dish stood out. The other was meh. The spicy lobster pasta was to die for. Very flavorful and had a bit of spice. The gnocchi guanciale was OK. I would say it would be better if it was less creamy and had more meat. The chef acted as if there was a global pork shortage. Taste was still OK. Not great. The lobster pasta made up for it.

   This was our first time at Geppetto, but we will be back and have already recommended it to others. The decor is gorgeous, table settings were class, and music playlist was on point (multiple times throughout dinner we said to ourselves “Oh, great song”) but also was not too loud so conversation was easy. Every dish was enjoyable. The braised lamb mafaldine was the highlight for me. I believe this is only for the Dine Out Boston menu, but would love to see this added to the regular menu going forward. Other things we ordered were tuna carpaccio, whipped ricotta crostini, shrimp bruschetta, grilled ribeye, and pistachio/cherry gelato (this tasted almost like PB&J, but the pistachio is the “nut”). I’d recommend all of these dishes to future diners, but the one I personally wouldn’t do again is the tuna carpaccio. The cut of tuna was perfect, the sauce just needed a different flavor profile for me (something salty/citrusy as opposed to the onion/creamy this one had going on). Shoutout to our server Samantha - she made our experience so enjoyable by pacing the courses well, offering detailed descriptions, and just being an overall pleasant/positive person!

   First time to Geppetto’s, did not disappoint. The food was phenomenal, and Brian, our server, was as well! The most enjoyable experience. Will be returning.

    very small menu. limited cocktail options. only one rose and orange wine by the glass. cute small touches. good glassware. service was good in that they spaced out our courses and provided fresh silverware for each one. the olives were yummy with fresh citrus zest, but the ricotta toast was nice.the bolognese was good but not a true bolognese. was a mix between a vodka sauce and a bolognese. was a very creamy bolognese in my opinion.the lobster rigatoni that caroline got was good. kinda wish i got that. very creamy. good spicy vodka sauce.
