    MonteVerdi was an amazing experience overall. We started with the burrata and octopus appetizers, followed by the pappardelle and salmon for our entrées—both perfect recommendations from our server. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The drink menu was just as impressive; we tried the Bakes Old Fashioned and the Cucumber Collins, both of which were fantastic. I also appreciate the managers, Colin and Alan, for checking in on us to ensure everything was perfect. I would definitely dine here again!

    I had an excellent experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a calm evening out. The menu offered a good selection of dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious. The dishes were well presented, and the pasta was fresh and flavorful. The service was very attentive and friendly, making us feel very welcome. We had a nice view of the Charles river as well, I’d recommend Monteverdi for anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience in Cambridge.

    My wife and I had a really nice dinner at Monteverdi in Cambridge recently. We started with the burrata as an appetizer, which was creamy and delicious. For our mains, I went with the filet, which was cooked just right and full of flavor, while my wife had the shrimp scampi, which she really enjoyed. The shrimp were tasty, and the sauce was spot-on. Our server, Paulina, was a highlight: super friendly and on top of everything without being overbearing. She made the meal even better with her great attitude. The vibe was cozy, the food was solid, and we left happy. We’d definitely go back!

    Great restaurant with an unbelievable view of the Charles! The dinner and cocktails were outstanding. We had the Gnocchi and Salmon dish with some Bakes’ Old Fashions that were a great spin on a classic cocktail. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend and will be doing so!

    I had a very pleasant dinner with my partner. The food was great, I highly recommend the Arancini and the Whipped Ricotta. The Gnocchi was the best I’ve tasted and the entire staff were very nice and consistent. Even the music was great as well. Overall, great experience. Definitely will come back soon
