La Padrona Boston Reviews
Excellent food and service, beautiful space.
Agree with others its a bit loud for a group, but we had a corner window seat which made for a perfect romantic evening.
Heard this place was one of the best new Italian
Heard this place was one of the best new Italian restaurants in Boston. Nothing could be further from the truth. Beautiful interior, great service, horrible food. The cannelloni for two tasted old and reheated. Couldn't finish it which is a
I had a very brief 20 hour trip to Boston and had just read
I had a very brief 20 hour trip to Boston and had just read about La Padrona making The NY Times 50 best restaurants right now list, so I had to make a reservation for dinner with a friend. I booked a few weeks out and was able to get a prime time s
We booked a dinner at La Padrona with high expectations.
I had dined there three or four times previously -- the food had generally been very good, though the service was sometimes a tad slow. With that in mind, I felt confident hosting an important business dinner for a client visiting from Europe. Unfor
La padrona…a fine dining experience.
New York times just awarded La padrona as top 50 restaurants in the US which prompted us to go. It was a fine dining experience with some hits and misses. Pricey, but you expect that (see menu pix since they don’t post prices on line) and the ser
New restaurant in back bay with fabulous service and food.
Great ambience, unlike a lot of restaurants in hotels, this has its own entrance off the street so you'd never know there's a hotel attached. Yes, it's pricey but the overall experience was a hit. Downsides (there are always some), w
I'm surprised this place doesn't have all 5 star reviews.
I stayed at Raffles this summer and came here because it's in (but not run by) the hotel. The management, bartenders and hostess staff are all wonderful. Even the lounge downstairs was a great mix of fun and welcoming. I think this is my new
Can't believe how much they charged for bread , Add 1
Can't believe how much they charged for bread , Add 1 dollar to each plate dinner, and don't make you look like a broke , greedy owner/business
Fun vibe, extensive menu
Nice menu options, high quality food and presentation. Nice private room for dining events. Bread was excellent. Appetizers lacked a bit of flavor. Numerous options for fish, meat, pasta, etc., works well for a larger group.
The service was impeccable.
There was always someone to halp us whenever we had a question. I had the lobster risotto and eggplant as a starter. It was a layer of eggplant cover with tomato's and seasoning. It was delicious. Located in the Raffles hotel, it was on the

La Padrona is so cute! The restaurant is gorgeous and food was delicious. The wine list is extensive. Worth it to be here for the vibe.

Absolutely Disgraceful - A Pretentious Disaster
I don’t usually write reviews, but the experience I had at this so-called “high-end” establishment was so outrageously poor that it demands public attention. Let’s begin with the menu—or rather, the absence of it. Despite boasting an elega
A grand restaurant in every respect that misses the mark.
La Padrona seeks to overwhelm the senses but takes it too far: 1. I am not one to typically complain about loud restaurants but this place was totally ridiculous. Booming cub music with a bass that radiates through the floor. Impossible to hear a co

Very nice ambiance, the staff was very friendly and the service was spot on. Best Negroni in town with a wide selection of vermouth. The food was very good but some of the pasta dishes need a little more thought.
This was hands down the best anniversary dinner we've ever
This was hands down the best anniversary dinner we've ever had--and the fact that it was for our 19th makes that saying something. From the service to the food to the hospitality, everything was incredible. They went above and beyond to make it
Authentic Italian Dining with Outstanding Service
I had an incredible experience at this Italian restaurant – the food was absolutely delicious, authentic, and full of flavour. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making
Why?
Pulsating rhythms of incredibly loud music in a disco-like atmosphere pervade this glitzy space. Thankfully, our group had a quiet room to celebrate our evening together. We sampled several items on the menu: melon and prosciutto, taglietelle, risott
Everything about our night was truly amazing from the food
Everything about our night was truly amazing from the food to the service and the atmosphere. Was a little louder than expected but the whole experience more than made up for that. Guila was one of the best servers we have had in years.
Too loud and expensive. Some excellent dishes.
We just got back to our hotel after a 2 hour dinner at La Padrona. My ears still hurt. I get that loud music is the thing at happening restaurants, but painfully loud music that limits conversation is ridiculous. On the plus side, the sommelier wa
Visited Sunday evening at 7pm.
A little tricky to find because it is hidden off to the side of Raffles hotel. We had trouble getting last minute reservations elsewhere (one place gave away our table we reserved online). La padrona was able to accommodate easily! Thank goodness the
I thought that it was terrible.
The food was pretentious and was extremely expensive. The room was noisy and uncomfortable. definitely overrated! The service was fair.
So the place is stunning to look at and be in but it is
So the place is stunning to look at and be in but it is crammed and honestly the steps of service aren't there for the type of restaurant they want to be. For the 3 of us to have 3 entrees the bread sampler and 2 cocktails the bill was 280 witho
My birthday with friends at La Padrona was disappointing
It was so incredibly loud that it was impossible to have a conversation . The noise from the pounding loud music which seemed to increase during the evening was worse than people talking . The service was scattered and confusing . They ran out of cu
Perfect (But for the noise volume of the music)
The food was wonderful and the service was great. The only thing marring it was how LOUD it was. The music was blaring as if you were in a nightclub. I don't understand why they aren't reading these reviews, where people have the same compl
Overall Enjoyable
We enjoyed La Padrona for a birthday celebration and overall it was good with just a few glitches. I find when dining at this price point I expect both the food and service to be great. Big fan of Jody Adams and her food for years, so was excited to
Night out in the city
Chef Jody Adams has done it again. Sad that Rialto closed years ago, but La Padrona is an excellent replacement. The focaccia is large and well suited to share for the table. It was great. Caesar salad was really well done and large enough to share.
Second Time Insight
Had the best time with Nicole B! She offered amazing recommendations. This is my second time here and she suggested the Nantucket Bay Scallops which were the best thing I’ve had in my last two visits here. The beef tenderloin was great, but if you
Connect with users posting reservations for La Padrona Boston

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to La Padrona Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the La Padrona Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at La Padrona Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at La Padrona Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
