    Pretty standard hotel restaurant. The food was good but not great. Despite relatively high prices there were multiple tables of screaming children and this would avoid this place unless you have or are prepared for more of a family experience than a decent night out. The service was fair at best and the server tended to disappear for long periods. Overall, unless you are staying at the hotel I would avoid this restaurant.

    The place is nice and some of the tables have a view of the Charles river which adds to the ambience. Service is outstanding! The Pappardelle, the whipped ricotta and the hanger steak were excellent!

    I was looking for something beyond our usual go-to places for my husband's birthday and found Monteverdi. We live in town, so a hotel restaurant wasn't necessarily my first thought, but they more than delivered a great meal and experience. We ordered the calamari and burrata apps; the calamari were good but the burrata was outstanding. Like come-back-just-for-that good. We ordered the roast chicken, salmon, and rigatoni bolognese, and all were delicious. We were surprised at the end when the staff brought out a hefty serving of tiramisú with a candle on top. All in all, Monteverdi was a great find and we'll be back again with friends and family.

    Had an awesome time at Monteverdi! The vibe was super cozy, and the staff was really friendly. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor—perfect portions too. Honestly everything was amazing. The service was great—attentive but not overbearing. Definitely a spot I’d go back to. Highly recommend!

    Emily was a very attentive server. She did a great job. The food was delicious. We got salad, chicken parm with pasta and tiramisu for dessert , all for $45.00. Can’t beat the price. We will definitely be back when the patio opens in Spring. Colin, the Manager was very attentive checking to be sure everything was up to par.

    I was looking for a nice date night experience with my fiancé . Arriving at Monteverdi , I observed the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant; it wasn’t too bright or too dark. We were seated in a corner spot and the waiters /service providers were very attentive and gave great recommendations. I ordered appetizers before the main course . The Burrata was perfect . I highly recommend this The pear mixed in with the prosciutto was a perfect mix. The calamari had a nice season to it and was light , the Main course of chicken Parmesan had large portions and was perfect . The tiramisu and coconut ice cream wrapped up a great meal. I recommend a nice date night with your partner or friends. The attire is casual or dressy , whatever you feel . The background music was light and enjoyable. 5?stars forgive location, food and service
