    Our dinner was delicious. I had the rigatoni bolognese snd my friend went with the special lobster ravioli. Both were delicious and served very attractively. We were informed the lobster ravioli is being considered to be included on the menu as daily menu option. We recommend this idea. Next time I am in Cambridge I will be sure to return for dinner.

    The food was excellent! The pasta dishes really stood out - perfect balance of flavors. But everything was delicious. I will absolutely go back and hopefully in better weather so we can enjoy the view and the outdoor area.

    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!
