Perched atop The Newbury Hotel like a crown jewel, Contessa is a grand destination. Guests are welcomed from morning till night to a sunlit, rooftop restaurant with Art Deco references and mid-century modern detailing, offering sweeping views of Back Bay and the Boston Public Garden. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious options, from feasts of antipasti, carpaccios and pizzas, to pastas and large steaks. A vast wine list, classic cocktails and a selection of dolci punctuate a beautiful meal.
Our waiter rushed us. My girlfriend's scallops were overcooked, and my portion of branding felt small. Potatoes excellent. Your prices of wine by the bottle are ridiculously high and shaneful. Doubt I'll return.
