Bar Enza Cambridge Reviews
Disappointing overall
Came with kids so had early seating, Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, waitress disappeared into the back and we had to ask busboy to get her twice. Food was unremarkable, though my risotto was undercooked and meat was overcooked. We’re lo
Dogshit slop for people that don't know any better.
Food was flavorless to foul. Drinks were mediocre. Waiter was seemingly experiencing his first day on earth.

I wish I got a picture of my food but I was genuinely so 'in the moment' with my meal, so I captured nothing! From the first bite to the last sip, this meal delivered. The house-made pastas were flavorful, and fresh. Great wine selection,

Bar Enza had pretty nice decor and was not too busy on a Friday evening. My friend and I first started off with the bread basket. The portion was not that big, but let me say, it was amazing. I fell in love with the focaccia. The outside was slightly
Pretty good Italian spot in the Charles hotel.
Started off with the lamb meatballs which were fantastic. Then the tuna tartare which was kinda meh. For entrées, we ordered the lamb risotto, short rib pappardelle, and spinach lumache which were all quite good. The clam gnudi unfortunately, was ve
Drinks were good.
Food was presentable but bland. Service nice but slow. Expensive and not worth it .
Food was super good! Service was ok.
The host was great but our server was a little rude.

Bar Enza occupies the space formerly serving Rialto in the Charles Hotel, and it's a fitting successor in both atmosphere and fine dining. We recently took our great-nephew, currently a junior at Harvard, to dinner, and we were thoroughly please
Bar Enza is a great night out
We had a great time at Bar Enza. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We got there a bit early for our reservation, but it wasn't crowded, and they seated us for cocktails before we ordered. The room is lovely, too. Quite a
i love Lydia and everything she does.
..we left our 2 seats the bar Thursday night after 20 min no water or acknowledgement. The group of 3 next to us were funny like, "not going to get better"... and we left. So this is not the food or ambiance and can be fixed which is why I
Sat at the bar on a Saturday night.
Service was cold and abrupt. I ordered a glass of wine and the pour was the equivalent of a tasting and then decided it was best to leave. We walked across the street to Toscano and had a delicious meal and a generous pour and had a wonderful exper
Amazing ambiance, great service and superb food! Ever dish
Amazing ambiance, great service and superb food! Ever dish we got was 10 Out of 10! The pasta dishes were so fresh and the salad was the best salad we've ever had.
If you want to be rushed through your dinner as at McDonalds, this is the place to go.
Unfortunately this place doesn’t match the expectations of the hotel standards. As a guest you have the feeling of just being an paying entity. They rush you through the service. While you just finished your last piece of food, things are wrapped u
Service was absolutely perfect.
Our waitress was helpful, efficient, etc. Super friendly too! This is one of the most underrated spots in Boston/Cambridge. I wonder if something changed, because I'm surprised to see the review average skewed from old reviews. The food was impecca
Go!
Terrific spot in Cambridge! Growing up in an Italian American household, I’m always tentative about going to an Italian restaurant is it never quite meet expectations. Enza surpassed them. We arrived for dinner, and I started with a cocktail, La Ca
Actually a travesty this place only has 3.
5 stars. My wife is Italian and we've tried many places in Boston and this is the most consistently delicate and delicious. The tomato focaccia, octopus, and tortelli were expertly prepared and the flavor profile is just fantastic. Lemon drops were g

I dined at Bar Enza for the first time last night, attracted by their Feast of the Seven Fishes special... and was thoroughly impressed. Every dish was wonderfully seasoned, and the portions were more than enough for two people. The final course, the
Great spot in Harvard Square
This is a great new-ish place in Cambridge at the Charles Hotel. The menu is creative and full of fresh pasta. I wish they had photos of all dishes as they were hard to imagine. That would have made it slightly easier to choose from all the great ch
Located within The Charles Hotel, this place is so good!
Located within The Charles Hotel, this place is so good! It's cozy and really nice inside. Great service and the food was delicious. We got the famous 100 layer lasagna which is a must have and the shrimp scampi was fantastic as well!
Amazing winter menu, great and attentive service and
Amazing winter menu, great and attentive service and amazing ambiance. I have taken colleagues and clients, and always have an exceptional time.

Ate here about a year ago and loved it so we went back last night. Prices are a bit high but the quality of the food is excellent. Focaccia was excellent Enza Salad tasty but light on the dressing. For meals we had the Campanelle, Ricotta Ravioli, r
Delicious small plates and pasta.
Great service. Enjoyed the focaccia appetizer and our pasta was great.
Sat at the bar.
Had a great Aviation made by Ruby and my husband had a Negroni made by Ally. Great, knowledgeable and personable bartenders. Had the Fritto Misto appetizer as our "soaker", as his aunt would call it.

We were grateful that the management gave us a second chance at Bar Enza. In short - the food was excellent. We are huge foodies and everything we ordered was prepared beautifully and tasted delicious. The service at Bar Enza just doesn't quite mat
In a rush, preparing for a trip.
Power outage in Harvard Square and many stores are closed. Two of us get some dinner snacks and drinks before heading home. I travel a lot and hotel restaurants are generally not my first choice, but Bar Enza makes excellent authentic Italian food.
Excellent Restaurant
Great food and service. Outstanding pasta. Prices reasonable. Limited entree menu. Need more lighting in center of restaurant above booths. Very dim. Otherwise lovely spot.
It's not Rialto
I have always liked being in the Charles Hotel. And I have lived in and visited the area off and on for 30 years now. So I was interested to try the new restaurant in the old space. The updates to the interior are attractive, and the wait staff are

My husband and I thought we'd give Enza a try, since we had stopped in once at the bar and had a couple of great cocktails with appetizers.This place is centrally located right in the heart of Harvard Square, surrounded by many five and four-star res

One of my favorite Italian restaurants! The breadsticks and marscapone are incredible. One of the best Caesar salads around!! Steak was unreal.
Good date night
We had a great dinner at this restaurant on a cold rainy january. The restaurant was warm and friendly. Wish the table was not so close to the set up station as there was a lot of staff on our side. Wine menu was amazing. The appetizers meals and d

Very delicious meal! We started off with the heart of palm salad -- it had a lemony dressing which paired well with the vinegar of the heart of palm. It was a nice starter with the focaccia, which had 4 different toppings to complement it. My favorit
My friends and I had really high expectations for Bar Enza
My friends and I had really high expectations for Bar Enza after reading positive reviews, and looking over the menu. However, we unfortunately did not have the experience we thought we would. The service was nothing short of terrible - never checked

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Bar Enza Cambridge. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
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

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bar Enza Cambridge at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bar Enza Cambridge 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 Bar Enza Cambridge 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 Bar Enza Cambridge!
* 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.
