Customer Reviews
A great dining experience. The atmosphere was very elegant with polite fast service. The good was fantastic as we tried an app, 2 pastas, a haddock, several drinks, dessert and cappuccino. No complaints just sad we haven't been sooner. Additional we went on our anniversary and they also catered to that with special seating and personal touches in the desserts.
This is definitely a 5 star experience! Booked a last minute reservation for my husband’s 30th birthday. The restaurant called me back right away and was able to accommodate us. The server was super knowledgeable about the menu items, made great suggestions and everything we ate was 10/10. Our table was very well tended to and at the end when we got dessert they added a birthday candle to my husband’s dessert without me needing to remind them that it was his birthday. Very professional staff and food that exceeded expectations. Everything we ate we would order again. We definitely enjoyed this restaurant more than some of the other “nicer” restaurants in town like the Library or Cure. If you’re looking for a romantic, fine dining experience with excellent food- this should be your choice.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An extraordinary dining experience What an incredible evening at Ristorante Massimo. Based on the reviews, I had high expectations — but the experience far exceeded them. This was the most professional service and the most delicious meal I’ve had in at least 20 years, yet priced like it was 10 years ago. I ordered the American Wagyu sirloin, which looked like a filet and was absolutely incredible — tender, rich, and cooked perfectly. The portion was generous and beautifully presented, served over Brussels sprouts and potatoes with a chestnut demi-glace. I was hesitant about the chestnut, but it was phenomenal and tied the dish together perfectly. I’m so glad I didn’t ask for it on the side. Dessert deserves special recognition. It arrived looking like a chocolate bomb — and it de
We had a wonderful day last night at Restaurant Massimo. The staff could not have been more lovely. The atmosphere was classy and cozy and the food was outstanding. We were celebrating my parents 60th wedding anniversary and they made us all feel so special. We tried each of the pasta dishes and they were all excellent. We each had a different favorite. The octopus appetizer was great and unique and a generous portion. Save room for desserts! We tried three different ones and loved them all!
We went for our anniversary and they gave us a complimentary dessert. We had a charcuterie board, two bowls of pasta, mocktails, the lamb, and espresso — a real Italian feast. The food was delicious. The waitstaff could not have been more professional or thoughtful. Definitely recommend
