Everything about Rialto was amazing. Food was delicious with perfect portion size. Price was reasonable. Our server (Kristin) and the manager (Andrea) treated us like royalty.Definitely hope to return

Jody Adams' Harvard Square flagship has been drawing crowds since opening nearly a decade ago, focusing on regional Italian cuisine and locally sourced ingredients. [Eater 38 Member]

Head here for outstanding Italian-inflected New England-style fare like lobster bucatini and slow-roasted duck. Head to the bar for dollar oysters on Mondays and addictive fried stuffed olives. Read more

Fantastic restaurant and their private dining room is amazing - lots of windows so you don't feel hidden from the world.

Everything is amazing, but try the Artic Char! It is Icelandic and s an Icelander it was better than any char I have had in Iceland!

Every Monday night Rialto has $1 oysters at the bar and Wednesdays are Wine Wednesdays - a free tasting of a bottle of red and a bottle of white at the bar starting at 5:30pm.

Had a unevenly cooked octopus followed by a chewy boar. The ubiquitous staff was surprisingly unhelpful. This was comically juxtaposed by an overly stuffy atmosphere.

Perfect order = Octopus, Bucatini, Lamb, Spicy Cauliflower.

Incredibly elegant and comfortable. So pleasantly surprised to be offered a special menu catering to my food allergy. Buono mangiare.

Go on Mondays at the bar. Not only are Island Creek oysters only $1 each, the creative accompaniment sauces (delivered in a trio of spoons) are only available during these nights.

You simply cannot go wrong with cocktails at the bar. Try having the bartender concoct an "off menu" drink. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

The "senza spirito" mocktail called Ivrea was unique and delicious!
Joshua EddyOctober 28, 2014
Bucatini with lobster, tomatoes, saffron, and chilies.

My experience here is so so..Disappointed. Yes. Maybe I expected too much. Duck was tough, chicken taste like anybody else's chicken. Fish is Ok. Appetizers -ok but it leaves you hanging. Bad service
Gloria ChinOctober 4, 2012
$1 oysters Mon 5:30-11:30pm at the bar

Poor Charles Hotel. How many people pass through its lobby nightly, ignoring its staffers’ smiles and glazing over its décor? Blame Rialto: The second-floor restaurant has such pull. Read more

Have had better duck-good taste, but too tough and rubberlike.

Not sure I will ever return. Good food but horribly bad service.
