   Waiter was great, quick with drinks and overall great service. Food (brunch) was not the best we’ve had at Neroli. Not sure if it was an off day or it was b/c a function was going on.

   Our server, Bella, was outstanding. The food was excellent, and the service was great. Sitting in the back room was a little bit quieter than the main part of the restaurant. It was still noisy.

   We enjoyed a wonderful family evening at Neroli's and even had the pleasure of meeting head chef and owner Mario. The food was fabulous and the atmosphere perfect. This was our 3rd visit and Neroli's never disappoints.

   This establishment presents an intriguing blend of exceptional service and a refined interior, located in Islington, off the beaten path of Dedham and Norwood, it sits in a newly developed center of shops and offices. Parking in this location can be challenging and tight. I wanted to love everything about this restaurant since its obviously newer, yet its culinary offerings leave room for improvement. The restaurant excels in hospitality, with staff providing prompt and courteous attention that enhances the overall dining atmosphere. The sophisticated, downtown Boston aesthetic of the interior creates an inviting setting, contributing positively to the establishment's reputation. However, the culinary experience does not consistently match this high standard. opening appetizers of fried mozzarella was delicious with a side sauce that was delectable. Matching this, the veal parmigiana was also excellent, with plenty of cheese and portions were abundant. However I was truly shocked at the signature spaghetti Cacio e Pepe is notably bland, missing the vibrant spices and pepper that would normally elevate its flavor profile. Similarly, the veal dishes side spaghetti lacks sufficient seasoning, resulting in a flat and unremarkable taste that falls short of expectations. In an environment where service and ambience are exemplary, these under seasoned dishes detract from the overall dining experience. This was truly disappointing and turned the meal from an excellent start to a sad finish. This once again proves, good Italian outside the North End is hard to find in the suburbs. The contrast between the impeccable service and the disappointing execution of key pasta dishes suggests that a reassessment of the culinary approach, particularly in seasoning and flavor development, is warranted and this restaurant hopefully improves over time since it seems like its off to a good start. I may come back in the future to see if it has gotten better.

   Amazing food, service, and ambiance, ARANCINI was delicious, the VEAL and CHICKEN PARMESAN and BUCATINI ALL' AMATRICIANA, all cooked to perfection. Topped it off with cappuccino, cannoli, and tiramisu. We will be back!

    The seats were very hard! Difficult to sit for a long period. Everything was great though.
