Tale of two visits. First time my partner and I doned in and had a lovely meal on a Saturday night. We had helpful service, then menu was expansive, and our food was delicious. Tonight we tried takeout and we're sorely disappointed. Portions are smaller in the to-go containers, pasta was less impressive, and the Pazza Bowl was little more than steamed vegetables with quinoa. They completely forgot 1 of the 4 things we ordered and instead of offering to remake it, they offered me a refund because "the kitchen was so busy". Sorely disappointed for a takeout meal, especially on Valentine's Day when they were going above and beyond with the decorations inside the restaurant. We may try them again but most likely only for dining in.

There was too much expectation for us to visit this place... unfortunately when you ask for the antipasto, it is served incomplete. They had to bring the olives later after asking for them, We also order steak and it says that comes with fries, also we had to ask for it again. At the end we order dessert, it said in the menu that comes with cookies, but again we needed to ask for it... Unfortunately it wasn't the experience that we were expecting and the answer was that they updated the menu. 3 times We asked for something missing in our order and the prices are not that low to just let it be. Hopefully this changes in the future.

Great bar, nice big semicircle that makes chatting with friends easy. Great place to grab a drink and nice big TVs to watch a game. Has kind of a lounge vibe going on. Cocktails were great and loved the funny names! Had a pretty mediocre burger but nice crispy fries. Staff are friendly and make great recommendations. Oh and they have parking! Minor miracle in East Boston!

I've only been to Pazza twice, the first time I had a cheeseburger with parmesan cheese fries and the second time I had steak, potatoes, salad, veal cutlets, some sort of rice ball and it was all delicious I have zero complaints. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The environment is very chill which I love. There was a bar plus tables to sit at. We had my brother Eric's 50th birthday party there where maybe 75 people fit comfortably easily. March 5th 2022 Josué suggested a whiskey sour with egg whites n surprisingly was very good, definitely wonderful people working there. God bless XoJaynaoX

My bartender really stole the show - I feel terrible for not remembering her name as she had such a vibrant, friendly personality and really good menu knowledge and drinks. I had the Sunday Dinner (Penne, Ricotta slow cooked ragu of Pork loin sirloin, sausage meatballs) YES chef!!! wowww the vibe n music stands out from the typical hole-in-the-wall restaurants of this neighborhood. young beautiful vibrant crowd. It's a shame i couldn't stay for dessert, but I’ve already made plans to come again soon. what a great place to end the weekend start the week.

Delicious for date night, brunch lunch or dinner. The service is so friendly and the place is clean.

We used to go there a lot, but either their manager or chef changed, their portions are now ridiculously small. We ordered a burrata last week, and there was a lot less charcuterie than before, then I ordered a salad for pick up and I couldn't beleive it when I opened the box- I would have laughed if I wasn't starving....Really disappointing as we loved to go there

Music was awesome. The decoration is perfect. The drinks were great. I would definitely go back to that place. It’s not easy to find out. They also have a parking lot behind the restaurant.

I seldom write reviews. But this one I decide to add one. I discovered this restaurant a few weeks ago. Since then we hooked. Delicious food and friendly staff. We love Fig And Ricotta Bruschetta.

Pazza on Porter is one of my go-to restaurants. My girlfriend and I discovered it because she lives very close by, but continue to go all the time because the food and atmosphere are great, and the staff are amazing. I even sometimes travel from where I live, which is an hour away, just to bring friends so they can experience the good food for themselves. The dining room and patio are very nice places to spend time. My go-to meal there is their "Hangover Burger" with regular fries and a Pepsi. The burger is very flavorful, with sweet bacon jam, a savory cheesy hashbrown, and a sunny side up egg on top. The fries are seasoned to perfection and are perfectly crunchy, served with legitimately good ketchup. They always play fun movies on the screens, the most common one we see there is Back to the Future. The music selection could be better but it does not take away from the environment much at all. I would 100% recommend Pazza to anyone considering it.

Hidden Gem on Eastside Boston. Decor was beautiful, and it was a classy joint. Not to far from the Logan Airport, and they have amazing cocktails. They made be a hidden secret Speakeasy on the same premise, but you'll have to find out for yourself. I'll be pack Pazza, stay Classy.

This is a small neighborhood restaurant, perfect for when you land at Logan and want to wait for the tunnel to clear. The menu is primarily Italian although one of our party had a chicken Caesar salad. The pasta is homemade and the sauces are customized for each dish. The service was excellent.

We have been here twice, in summary the food is bad and over priced, but the beer list is good. The first time we got chicken Parm, which was fine but the pasta it came with was overcooked box pasta, and we got the Alla Pazza pasta which was bland and overcooked pasta. We thought maybe because they had just recently opened so we should give it another chance about 9months later. We got an appetizer of Marsala wings, which were good and we thought oh good the kitchen did improve. We ordered the chicken Parm again, which was fine again and still was with box pasta and we got the Blue Burger which was terrible. The burger patty tasted like a frost-burned frozen patty. Even the toppings of caramelized blue cheese, arugula and fig jam didn't mask the bad taste. They do have a good beer list, but the food has been bad twice. We will try to new "speakeasy," but probably stick with just drinks and maybe an appetizer. I hope they improve the food to match the price point, because it's a great location.

Piazza has really grown into itself. I love coming here and feel that the food and service has only improved over the years it’s been open. The tiramisu balls are a must off the dessert menu!!

Wonderful but casual experience. The salads were wonderful, light, tasty and everything we wanted. I’m normally someone who eats it all, especially pasta, but I was left disappointed with the taste. Then again it could’ve been the water they offered that left a lingering taste in my mouth. We would go again.

Great tasting food! I ordered the seafood crusted cod with a side of asparagus, 9/10, small portion of fish but good taste. Chicken parm bolognese was good, hearty piece of chicken with the meal. Parmesan fries were average, just tasted like Parmesan cheese was sprinkled on fries. Ordered the “Thank Me Later” drink, it was phenomenal if you enjoy cocktails with some sweetness to them! The atmosphere/ambiance was amazing, 10/10. THE RESTAURANT PLAYLIST WAS ON POINT from arrival to the restaurant to departure. Our waitress was great! Very kind and attentive. There is parking here!!! A free parking lot just on the side of the building. Would definitely recommend and I plan to come back!

Good appetizers and pasta, highly recommended! I got Alla Pazza pasta which was pretty good, not too heavy, and the sauce was very very delicious. My husband got Vitello Italiano, and this is definitely worth ordering.

Food: Eggplant caponata (with eggplant, zucchini, cherry tomatoes cooked in seasoned pomodoro sauce served with toasted crostini); Fisherman's Feast (Risotto with shrimp, scallops, calamari, white wine, tomato, & garlic) Cannoli (traditional ricotta) Ambiance: Peaceful & Casual. I loved this venue's decor and vibe as well. Parking: They have a parking lot in the back if the restaurant. Pricing: Somewhat pricey. I went during Dine Out Boston Week, so I got a 3 course meal for $36. Food (flavors): The eggplant dish was flavorful and the veggies were cooked well. The veggies took on the flavor of the sauce, which was good. I think the sauce had a tangy flavor to it. The eggplant and veggies paired well with the toasted crostini; it softened the bread slightly, which made it easier to eat everything together. The Risotto was flavorful too; I added parmesan cheese though it was not necessary lol I genuinely enjoyed the savory dish and the seafood was cooked very well. The rice, however, was a bit undercooked. The Cannoli had subtle citrus flavors in it, which I did not like, and I wish the ricotta filling was sweeter. I also tried their fries, which aren't in the pictures BUT they were really crunchy and salted well. Portion size: Large Drinks: N/A For more reviews follow my IG food page @fave_foodie

The food was pretty good, but the service was not. Our res was for 1, we didn’t get our appetizers until 2 on the dot. Waitress took forever to come to our table, she’d take drink orders and not show up for 20 minutes. I asked for ketchup for my fries, never came. I could see other patrons also getting annoyed with the service. The vibe was interesting. Like the restaurant itself is cool, but the playlist did not match the vibe. For food, the appetizers for brunch are very good, but small so if you’re sharing with more than two people I’d recommend ordering two. The breakfast potatoes here are small as you can see. Their best dishes are the lunch and dinner. We found this place on Instagram for brunch, but honestly brunch was disappointing. Pancakes we’re too dry and had no taste to them. French toast was nothing special, and the breakfast sandwich was good, but again nothing like what they hype it up to be on Instagram. Veal and chicken parm were good as was the hangover burger. Will we back no, but if you’re looking to go they have $10 pasta night every Tuesday and like I said their lunch/dinner food is better than their brunch.

Go for: One of the few upscale options in East Boston. Avoid if: You're expecting a memorable dining experience for the price. Something surprising: Yes, this is connected to the Next Door Speakeasy. Reservation needed? No, perhaps only at peak meal times. Overall Experience: 3/5. The food was okay and the upscale atmosphere feels forced. The decor and ambience were incoherent and honestly, a bit confusing. You'll be glad this place exists in East Boston, but it lacks the hook to bring you back.
