Hal MackinsMarch 26, 2015Uniformly solid bar program and food. The chicken meatballs with tomatoes, pine nuts, and garlic cream are fantastic. Sarah's bread, varying daily, is a carb fiend's dream, too.
Chris EJanuary 10, 2015Solid cocktails -- if you like amari, the Industry Favorite (?) is fernet-based and delicious. Food is less impressive (pork belly was overcooked, chicken meatballs tasty but unspectacular for $14).
Cole KennedyFebruary 14, 2017I dig the vibe in here. They have a solid seafood menu, and the beer list and cocktails are well above average (especially for the area).
Eric AndersenAugust 8, 2018The Calamari Bomba dish here is quite unique and worth trying — squid ink rice with chorizo and garnished with jalapeño-like pickled fresno
Phil LaPierJuly 22, 2012Wow! Try the mushroom, fig, and Gorgonzola pizza. Roasted trout with pineapple chutney and plantains was dynamite. The drinks are killer too! I think I found my new favorite restaurant. Love this spot
EaterJuly 30, 2012This recent followup to Jody Adams' Rialto quickly became a favorite for its flatbreads and other oven-blasted main plates with Mediterranean accents. [Eater 38 Member]
Susan SherwinMarch 18, 2012We went for the buzz and ambiance - great people watching, cool decor, fab cocktails. That the food was amazing was the cherry on top. Make reservations & leave the kids at home
Boston PhoenixFebruary 22, 2012Captures the fun of the pre-Great Recession boom, but the food's competing with the room's buzz. Our critic says try the pomegranate-glazed eggplant, fried oysters on a waffle or the braised short rib Read more- Antoine St-LouisMay 17, 2015Service was great, beer was perfect and the chicken meatballs were delicious! Bacon and onions flatbread was also really good.
Greg DavidsonMay 12, 2013Great place to go with a bunch of friends and share some delicious dishes. Portions are small but quality is high, my Burger was perfectly done. Lots of fun.- Patrick HaneyApril 13, 2013The drinks here are a little overpriced for what you get, but the food is worth every penny. Order a bunch of the sides along with your meal to share with your table!
Sara SigelOctober 28, 2016Beet salad for those looking for something light. Cheat day? Go rigatoni. Sit outside when weather allows it ☀️
Sofia UzAugust 23, 2015Great drinks! Get a few small dishes to share. On a fancier side, financial crowd and out of town people
Try to sit at the bar when Tenzin is working and let him make an off-menu drink for you. One of the best mixologists around!
Jeremy KrantzAugust 13, 2014One of Boston's best mixology programs. Their cocktails are phenomenal and they introduce new ones all of the time.
Rob AtkinsonNovember 7, 2015Great drinks. Flatbreads are delicious and the best value. Good work lunch spot- Boston.comJanuary 3, 2012Jody Adams changed the game on Boston’s waterfront with the casual, globally influenced Trade, which gives downtowners an affordable range of dishes served all day.

Good food, ok service and very small main portions. Hangout for techies, movers and shakers and wannabes galore.
- Jon CaseyFebruary 3, 2012Rigatoni with spicy lamb - best thing I've had in a while. P.S. all dish's ingredients are local, grass fed, etc.
Claire C.July 24, 2013Mushroom & Figs flatbread was so good, we ordered the Four Cheese version as chaser.
Get a whole bunch of the small items & share them at your table. They are too good to miss out on.
Kate ParkMay 1, 2013Rigatoni with ragu! Duck! Half grilled chicken!! Pork lettuve wrap and fried oysters are ok..
Beth SJanuary 5, 2012Lobster was great. Easy to eat and not too much. Great place to take out-of-towners to.
rob zandMarch 14, 2015food was small, kinda average. the flat breads are the best. they may claim to be a cocktail bar, but the bartenders aren't seasoned. was looking for an alternative to eastern standard, this isn't it.
Rich AmonsFebruary 22, 2014Ask for Patrick and trust his expert selection of flatbreads and amazeballz sides
Danielle WuschkeDecember 15, 2011Best new joint in a long time! Excellent grilled squid but extremely busy!!
Kevin Araujo-LipineJune 4, 2013Lamb sausage flat bread was tasty. Ordered a few small items to share.
Matthew WeinerJanuary 15, 2013Braised beef and barley soup is outstanding -- def don't need a plate after!
Nick ZecketsAugust 11, 2012Huh? I really am not the snooty type, but food had hair in it, burgers were overcooked, and it was blasé. Decor is great. Two in our group had the skirt steak and that WAS good. Not returning.
