Excellent Time with all of our friends at Gepetto Restaurant last night. The food was awesome, service was very professional and accommodating and the ambiance was perfect. Samantha our server did a phenomenal job with our table of nine. The food was delicious. Perfectly cooked rib eye steak, delicious lobster and spaghetti, calamari, ceaser salad. The three course special was well worth it!!
Street and garage parking was easy

I love this spot! One of my fav places in Boston for Italian food. We tried (amongst many things) the ravioli and the garlic bread and it was phenomenal.

Our server was super kind and attentive. Food was delicious and very filling. Great music played throughout dinner, and overall volume is not loud at all. Would 100% come here again!

Geppetto is tucked away in the center of the Lechmere shopping area. We had a reservation for 6 but were 30 min late due to MBTA struggles; thankfully they were super nice about it. We were seated at an elegant circular table booth. The food came out very quickly (as it was made), so we had a table full of food in no time.
A lot of things on the menu looked really good so we just dove in. Overall a lot of the dishes we ordered were quite cheesy/rich, so I much preferred the lighter dishes.
Delicious, would get again
– Cod cioppino ($38) – The broth for this dish is perfect — light, savory, and very seafood forward. The cod was also great – flaky and somehow had a crispy crust. I also really enjoyed the bay scallops in the broth. The other seafood (shrimp, mussel, clam) didn’t stand out as much, and may have been a bit overcooked. This was a super tasty dish.
– Grilled focaccia ($2) – We got one piece of focaccia which came with a small bowl of white truffle bean dip. Wow this was great! The bean dip was delicious — smooth but not heavy, lovely truffle flavor. The bread was just a vehicle for the bean dip deliciousness.
– Beef carpaccio ($20) – I had no idea what to expect, but wow this was delicious! The smoked wagyu beef was very thinly sliced and tasted like a cross between smoked salmon and prosciutto. The toppings were delicious as well, with interesting textural contrast. It’s pricey, but worth it.
Good, might get again
– Porcini lasagna ($26) – I’m a sucker for porcini mushrooms, and they definitely did them justice with this lasagna. There were crispy parts on the top and bottom and delicious compacted layers of mushroom. There was also a lot of cheese surrounding it which I avoided.
– Seared brussels sprouts ($10) – Hot and tasty brussels sprouts, who can complain! I appreciated that there was no sweetness in these, as I have come to expect of restaurant brussels sprouts.
Meh, wouldn’t get again
– Pull apart garlic bread ($10) – I was enticed by the concept, but was disappointed by the result. The bread wasn’t as fresh/soft as we would’ve wanted. It was also sitting a pool of cheese, and that was a lot.
– Lobster fra diavolo ($32) – I didn’t like the seasoning for this pasta. It was overly acidic. The lobster had good flavor but was a bit overcooked. It comes with half of a lobster tail (in the shell) and some cut up claw meat in the pasta sauce. I’ve definitely had better lobster pastas.
We also got the Cosmopolitan ($15), which was fine, nothing special, and the pineapple orange guava sorbetto ($9), which was pretty good (though I wasn’t a fan of the candied orange pieces). We also didn’t realize that the gelato toppings costed extra ($1 each), because the menu didn’t clearly indicate that.
Overall, I tried some tasty things here. I think their textures and flavors are generally very good, though many of the things we got were a bit too rich for me. Some of the seafood was also a bit overcooked. I would say the restaurant felt pretty similar to Moeca in terms of price point and types of dishes, but Geppetto food felt heavier on average, and the seafood wasn’t as on point. The restaurant has great ambience and service, and some fun dishes that I haven’t had elsewhere.

Really enjoyed Geppetto. The lobster pasta was delicious and the cocktails were great. The place was pretty empty and quiet when I went, which actually made for a nice, relaxed dinner. Service was excellent too. Would definitely go back.

What a wonderful meal! My husband and I came here for my birthday dinner and we loved every bite of it. The braided garlic bread has a mix of wonderful textures and flavors – just the right amount of garlic too! We probably wouldn’t order the fried eggplant again (partially because we want to try so many other things!). It was heavy on garlic but still a good dish. The amatriciana and agnolotti pastas were both so good. We’ll definitely be back!

We have gone to Geppetto twice now and both times we had an excellent experience! The food is delicious, the service is attentive and welcoming, and the ambiance is perfect- busy but not too loud. We’ve had Brian as a server both times and couldn’t say enough great things about him! Would definitely recommend Geppetto, we will be coming back again.

Had an outstanding experience here! Our server was extremely friendly. He had great recommendations and did not steer us wrong once. The Antipasto Platter was great to share, as was the Tuna Carpaccio. It had such bright flavors and was truly amazing. For me the star of the show was the Spicy Lobster Rigatoni with vodka sauce. It had a subtle spice that complemented the flavor and I liked the dish more and more as I ate it and haven’t stopped thinking about it. Other favorites at the table were the Porcini Lasagna and the Scallops Picatta. I highly highly recommend Geppetto!!

We had a great time during the Boston restaurant week. It was a 3 course meal and we shared everything. Lots of good stuff, especially the steak.

We stopped in for dessert one night and wound up getting some carrots too. Everything was delicious! The apple pie would be even better warmed up with vanilla ice cream on the side but I truly can’t complain about it either way.
The space was beautiful with high ceilings and pretty decor. Our server was very friendly and helpful.
