Rabia's - South Holland

We are in Boston for 3 nights and decided to just grab a bite near our Hilton Canopy hotel. Robia’s Dolce Fume was a 4 minute walk. Our ressie was 6pm and we were seated immediately by our server Milosh from Serbia. First and foremost his service was personable and efficient but not intrusive. My daughter wanted the rigatoni bolognese (no cheese) and Milosh suggested the “powered up seafood tower and pasta” for 2. It included 1 whole lobster, tons of shrimp, grilled octopus, calamari, mussels, clams, all in a tasty tomato broth with zucchini and peppers all for only $76. It was amazing. We ended with carrot cake and a surprise of pistachio limoncello from Milosh

So many restaurants to choose from, but we liked the menu offerings (puttanesca fra diavolo) and prices. Made reservations both times, but didn't need to, although both visits had a large group event going on. Food was excellent, service was excellent, and we did free advertising by sitting in the front window showcasing our food! Be forewarned--if your waiter says the main dish could feed 3, he isn't kidding!

Ok Italian food, but not great. It was better when I last visited 20 years ago. Bread was greasy garlic with Parmesan would have preferred just the bread. I had chicken pasta, just ok. I don’t think I will be back.

The food was spectacular and I appreciated the level of service. My brother is autistic and very particular. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. The calamari, lobster bisque and lobster ravioli were better than some of the overly hyped restaurants. The cocktails were really good too. The next time I visit Boston, I’ll be sure to check them out. When the staff is enthusiastic and friendly it creates a space that you want to return to. You get that when you visit. Our waitress even gave my brother a hug. I cannot express how much her kindness and patience meant to my family. Please check them out!

Sat in the restaurant side, service was so friendly and loved the atmosphere of the nearby street and restaurant workers. All 4 of us loved our meals, would def return. Had Fettuccine with Veal, just delicious.
