    The powered up pasta was INCREDIBLE! It could feed 4 people, but was well worth it. Everything we had that night was absolutely delicious. We would certainly eat here again in a heartbeat.

    We LEFT after waiting over an hour for our meal. Intentionally made dinner reservations at 6:30 because we were going to a performance at 8:00 that was nearby. Arrived on time for reservation. Did not get appetizer and immediately put our order in advising the server. We needed to be out for the show at 8:00 p.m. she commented that everybody in the restaurant was basically going the same place and although she came by to tell us our meals were coming out soon that never happened. So at 7:40 we left. We ordered a chicken dish and raviolis nothing that was overly taxing and never should have waited that long. I'll never return to this restaurant ... There are a significant among other restaurants in the North End and many we could have choose from that. I know we would have gotten our meal and I'm thoroughly disappointed. Instead of having a delicious dinner before the show, we had to eat a pretzel at the venue. No one other than the server came over to apologize and it definitely wasn't her fault.

    Went for my wife's birthday with our 2 daughters. The staff at Rabia's went above and beyond for our visit. Jana greeted us and sat us at our reserved table, she checked on us regularly and made sure we had all we needed. Francesco was our server and was outstanding. We found this place a couple years ago. Been for apps and drinks at the bar many times. First time we had dinner and will not be our last. It will be our new go to in the Northend. I had the cioppino and was loaded with seafood. The birthday girl had the puttanesca and said it was the best she's ever had. Our girls had the butternut raviolis and the Frutti di mare risotto. Both loved their meals. It was a memorable birthday dinner and we are still talking how great the service and food were. See you all soon!! Highly recommend this place.

    A fabulous example of a fast paced Boston North End Italian and seafood fusion dining house ! Loud and busy but cozy at the same time. Oysters were top notch and gorgeous. Lobster was very nice, over angel hair. The bread and tapenade was also divine. Our waitress was Yaya and she was very bubbly and sweet. The service overall is not flawless.. but it was perfect in giving us that North Boston vibe! We loved it. Also the prices were very reasonable, considering. I would definitely go here again and recommend it.

    The wait staff was very kind but kept getting the orders wrong. Charcuterie board came back as a salad, wine came babb can k as a sangria. Things were charged to the bill that shouldn’t have been.

    What a wonderful night out! We were able to sit at a nice table for two at the window. Our server, Yaya was amazing! All of our food and drinks were great! We started with clam chowder and lobster bisque along with bread. My husband ordered the Captains Catch which was a huge portion of great seafood and pasta. ordered the Lazy Mans lobster. I would definitely recommend!!!!! Thank you to Rabia’s Dolce Fumo for an awesome experience.

    We had a 7:30 reservation which we should up at 7:15. Asked to wait 45 minutes. 45 minutes later, we were told that they were still seating 6:30 reservations. A patron who had a 6:00 reservation was seated at 6:40 and was still waiting for food at 7:50. We left!
