Rabia's Dolce Fumo

Nice spot for seafood and Italian with a nice wine list. Great service, always helpful and friendly staff. I went in the afternoon and had a great lunch. Try to clam shooters!

Jeli smo jastoga , i bio je preeefin , preporuka svakako . Osoblje ljubazno.

Not bad but there are much better places in North End. This is an easy spot to get a reservation but that says about what you need to know about the experience. Overpriced for the quality of food and for that cost, you might as well go to a better spot in Boston’s Italian town

We went there because we have never tried oysters and we saw a really good offer with each oyster being 1.99$. We tried 3 different kinds and they were all delicious. The waitress was super helpful and explained everything to us with patience and a smile. Absolutely recommend it ;)

Have had amazing experiences in the past but owners not in tonight. They remade the antipasto platter for us which originally had canned giardiniera, off Italian meats and a couple pieces of mozzarella. Stuffed figs and Gorgonzola were ok, spaghetti and meatballs rubbery and flavorless and chicken Marsala was tender but tasted like beef broth soupy liquid under chicken. The young busser gal was slamming dirty dishes in the bus bucket all night and we had to ask her to quiet down as she was literally slamming everything. Kinda ruined our dinner experience. Bathrooms were absolutely GROSS and felt like we were at a dirty nightclub; do better please as we want to come back. Not the same experience as the last couple years. We go into the city for a good experience and have had better at the local Italian restaurant in southern NH. Merry Christmas

Ordered the meatballs for main course and one large meatball was served FROZEN. This after an hour wait following charcuterie board to start. Didn’t seem like anyone was minding our table. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Venturing into Rabia's Dolce Fumo, Friday night proved to be an extraordinary seafood expedition. As a Texan eager for a taste of the Atlantic, the ambiance hit all the right notes. Welcomed by a gracious woman in a black dress, the restaurant exuded a magnetic charm. The cartoon-like aroma trail led us to a vibrant section with a concealed bar that added an element of surprise. Our server, the remarkable Yaya, elevated the experience. Patient and knowledgeable, she navigated us through the menu, turning the dining experience into a culinary journey. The seasonal swordfish was a revelation—a delicate dish featuring a perfectly grilled filet accompanied by fresh vegetables and a light dressing. Exploring further, the oysters were a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and needing no enhancement, except perhaps a squeeze of lemon. The drink selection, despite being seasonal, possessed a timeless quality, as if crafted by seasoned mixologists. Yaya's attentive service added an extra layer of enjoyment. Her guidance enhanced our choices, making each plate a symphony of flavors. Rabia's Dolce Fumo is not just a seafood haven; it's a masterclass in ambiance, service, and culinary excellence. An unforgettable experience, and a heartfelt thanks to Yaya for making it truly exceptional.

One of my favorite spots in the north end!

Great place. Great food! Great people!
