Enjoyed happy hour on Friday evening. Many tables/booths were empty but only offered bar or couch area. If you want to be close to your date request the bar, table or booth. The couch chairs are very comfortable but you are farther apart from your date. Fun olympics themed cocktails and good appetizers. Wonderful service! Validated parking in the building – lots of parking spots. Low garage ceiling.

Tonight was actually my second night at Cortina Restaurante, and my friends and I ended up ordering the same dishes we had yesterday because they were just that good! Honestly, everything about both evenings has left me completely impressed. Every dish I tried is incredible—full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with so much care. There’s something about the way the flavors come together that just blows you away.
The service is just as amazing as the food. Andrea and the whole team make you feel so welcome and taken care of the entire time. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and that makes a huge difference. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the attention to detail in service are top-notch, but Cortina nails it.
I tried several dishes tonight (and yesterday), and each one was better than the last. The drinks were perfectly crafted, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is just so inviting and relaxed. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Whether you’re looking for a casual night out or a special dining experience, Cortina is absolutely worth it.
A huge thank you to everyone there for making both nights so memorable. 10/10, highly recommend, and I can’t wait to come back and try even more of what they have to offer.

Decided to come to Cortina for brunch with friends! Great choice. Food was great and staff were super attentive and had great recommendations.
Apparently they also have a cafe in the same building that wasn’t open today but we’d definitely come back to check it out when it is open since the restaurant was great! The portion size definitely was bigger than I expected so I went home with leftovers (not complaining)!
Location was great too – able to easily find parking and go to nearby shops afterwards.

I recently visited Cortina and was really excited to try their ravioli, but unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed. The portions were incredibly small, which was frustrating, especially given the price. The ravioli itself seemed like it was mostly squash, with very little pasta to be found. I love squash, but when you order ravioli, you expect more pasta than filling. I was left hungry and unsatisfied. Definitely not the value I was hoping for.

The beets and Brussels sprouts were delicious. The octopus was a bit too chewy but very flavorful and the pasta was delicious. The drinks were refreshing and so was the dessert. We had affogato. Our server was sweet and attentive.

My second time after a 5 year break- boston experiences have been great primarily because of top notch service paired with high end but new and interesting food variations.

Five stars simply isn’t enough. Starting with the food, the salmon salad was delicious. My new favorite for lunch had a light dressing and a perfectly cooked filet. Service was impressive of course. Attentive yet relaxed, Diego made sure our experience was second to none. Finally, the atmosphere is why we love coming here. Bright, warm, and spacious, I could simply stay for hours.

We went for the lobster arancini but we stayed for the wagu steak, it was heavenly. The hamachi crudo and caviar pasta with una butter was also just incredible. Our server was a delight. Would return anytime!

A nice treat for a special occasion, the food was delicious and portions were ample. Make sure to bring your appetite for a more elevated experience.
We had the prix fixe menu for New Year’s Eve, which included a few different appetizers like Dungeness crab croquettes, burrata, and tuna crudo. Everyone also got one main dish and a dessert.
Decor is gorgeous and service was great. 5/5 experience.

I enjoyed the buccatini pasta with pork belly; it was delicious. The pork belly melts in your mouth, and the staff are very accommodating with dietary restrictions.
