Gnocchi sweet potatoes! Quite large portions so don't be afraid to skip the starters if your not to hungry. Great Italian wine list!

The carbonara is a must!! Wine list is excellent. Is a place for do all the steps (starter/main/desert) , even though considering the size of dishes. Great service!

Beautifully creative and fresh, seasonal menu. Kind of a hidden gem tucked into a corner of back bay. Try the chef's specialty: roasted boar with rosemary and fermented grape sauce.

The wine list - OMG. Very, very well done. Great job! Oh, the food is very good as well.

Superb Italian perfect for pre-theater dining, with a frequently changing menu based on what's in season. For a more casual experience, sidle up to the bar for small plates and cocktails. Read more

The pasta dishes and the wild boar with fermented Concord grapes are wonderful. So are the prices, considering the level of craft here; entrees run $19-$29. Read more

Perhaps the only Boston restaurant to serve elaborately prepared sunflower buds, Erbaluce is no stranger to the title of the city's "best Italian restaurant." [Eater 38 Member]

Pasta w/ meat sauce normally might be easily dismissed, but their homemade pasta with wild boar ragu was delicious! Don't overlook it!

Aroma di Venus. Marjorum magic. Sophisticated and sensuous. Nick brings food history to life at the bar. Erbaluce - best place in Boston to eat intelligently, leave amazingly satisfied. Thanks, Nick.

This week a wild rack of boar served with Concord grape will be among the options for 3 separate tastings, a $35 3-course served at the bar, a 5- ($75) or 7- ($95) course tasting in the dining room. Read more

The wild boar was delicious, as well as the fig infused whiskey!
Amanda EveyOctober 22, 2012
Seriously one of the best Italian restaurants in Boston. Panino sandwich on the bar menu is the best comfort food.
AskMenJuly 5, 2011
They change the dinner menu daily based on what's available & fresh that day. Same process carries over to the bar, where a limited liquor license doesn't stymie the creativity of their mixologists Read more

Marscapone and goat cheese cheesecake, quite possibly the greatest dessert I've ever had.

Fresh herbs on the table and very cozy feel! Try the pastas, we got them all and loved each one.

Anything you order will be a delight. Take advantage of seasonal items. Be sure to ask Nick what special cocktail he is dreaming up! Wonderful restaurant atmosphere!

Get the sunflower risotto and trout! Extremely delicious.

This is truly Italian food at its best. We love the fresh, seasonal menu and of course, the deep wine list!
Will MernaghJanuary 8, 2016
Great food with nice size portions. Not too big but not small either.
Svetlana JavakhyanMay 28, 2012
New discovery! Great food, atmosphere...perfect for a dinner for two, but good for girls night out!

Highly recommend the wild boar. Chuck & Joan, the chef/ owners could not be more hospitable! Hidden gem. Splendid creative cooking with wondrous fresh flavours!!
Chris EFebruary 22, 2016
Excellent service, pleasant date ambiance. Food below expectations. Wild boar meatballs were overcooked. Cacio e Pepe was tasty but overpriced. At a comparable price point, Sorellina is better.
Juri TsibrovskiSeptember 18, 2013
Best boar pappardelle in town and great Nebbiolo to pair

Brian Poe, chef of Poe's Kitchen at the Rattlesnake, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Veal short rib. Read more

This place should be what all Italian restaurants aspire to.

The wine list is great. The food is fair.

Call ahead if you're a vegetarian. They can work with you.
