They had wet wipes for us to wipe our hands with. Brought out an appetizer immediately after we ordered, and also offered recommendations. We went with the four rolls pictured, all spicy in some manner. The server kept our waters filled. I'm trying to figure out how I can visit again soon More

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and smiles from the staff. The cocktails were superb and the food was out of this world. Our server, the bartenders, hosts, managers, and food runners were all clearly professionals and it’s easy to see why Uni is one of the best restaurants in Boston. More

Given the dwindling options, a good choice for supper before Symphony. Exceptionally good oysters; broiled Gulf shrimp are overbroiled, but don't miss the sweet potato fries—light, crisp and delicious. Good wines by the glass in the $11-12 range. Friendly, snappy service. More

Made a reservation for 7 for me and my friend on a Friday night for my birthday. Even after we checked in, we probably weren't seated until at least 10-15 minutes later, which is just something to keep in mind if you're on a schedule. We got the mozzarella and proscuitto with bread and olive oil and the cosacca pizza (tomato, pecorino romano, basil, extra virgin olive oil. Both were delicious if a little on the pricier side. We also order the al fresco and lampone spritz cocktails. The lampone spritz cocktail (Pallini Raspicello, Prosecco, basil syrup) was a little too sweet for my taste. Otherwise, we had a pretty good time. I would definitely save Eataly, or at least La Pizza & La Pasta, for special occasions or dates since it's a little on the pricier side for an everyday dinner.

Thoroughly enjoyed our pre-theater dinner at Mumbai Spice. I'd booked a reservation the day before, so our table was ready and waiting for us. We enjoyed a couple of appetizers before the other half of our party arrived, and then a range of entrees. Everything was excellent! Service was prompt and attentive without feeling rushed. Prices, while on the higher side, are reasonable for the area. Atmosphere was very pleasant--would definitely return! More
