We went for a birthday lunch with friends - I love the beautiful space in Contessa - so special to be up high above the rooftops! Most of us had the butternut squash ravioli, which was delicious. Our server was good, and I enjoyed a little birthday lemon cake with a candle. I live nearby, but don't go to Contessa often as it is very hard to get a dinner reservation, and it is pretty pricey. But I do enjoy it very much.

Food was magnificent! Service was outstanding! But like mist restaurants in the North End, they squeeze way too many “seats” into small space. It’s quite loud. Difficult to hear conversations at a table of 4 people. We were there for Christmas Eve so if was busy but I bet on a random Tuesday the experience would be much different and more enjoyable. I will say it was the best of the 3 North End restaurants I went to this week. I had pizza which was amazing! Better than regina. The pistachio martini was delightful!!!
