This is an absolutely wonderful restraunt and the staff truly care about customers like family. My family came straight from the airport at 9:30pm. I assumed we would be rushed to make it out by closing time- but not a chance. They were committed to a pace and tempo that emphasizes maximum enjoyment of each course. The steak and meatballs where standout--as the reviews predicted. However, the lamb chops were also delicious and should definitely get more mentions. All that being said- my family was an absolute disaster. My youngest knocked over a full wine glass...and then vomited all over our table. The atmosphere is young and trendy, and I expected real disdain for these accidents. However,...
The meatballs are fantastic, the lighting is perfect, the salad was great, the calamari was delicious, and our server was attentive. However, the lobster in the Gnocchi con Aragosta was overcooked to the point that it was inedible, frankly.. and it’s not cheap. My husband got the Spaghetti con Vongole, in which the clams were incredibly overcooked as well. I’d say come here for the atmosphere, the cocktails, and the apps. But, if you’re looking for a pasta dish with properly cooked seafood, steer clear.
We came to Arya for an early dinner for our wedding anniversary. The food was awesome and our waiter started off great but after about min of being there, we felt super rushed to finish our apps, entrees, and bottle of wine. The waiters seemed like they were in a hurry to get us out the door so that they could seat the next reservation. Food was great but we both left with a weird feeling about the experience
Place was awesome. Food was fantastic and the services was great. For how good the good was it was prices really good. I mean a Oz rib eye for your basically stealing it at that point not to mention how good it was

This place is what you search for in the North End. Greeted warmly by proprietor, small intimate space, great tasting menu and friendly service. I want to keep this place a secret for myself
Excellent pasta tiramisu! Espresso and cocktails were also fantastic. Great service. If I ever pass through Boston again, this is a guaranteed stop!
Decent cocktails (the reason we came) but definitely not the best we've had...of course that's all personal preference! The cannoli were excellent.
Terrific north end restaurant on the second floor of busy Hanover Street. Food and service excellent. Dining room is crowded but manageable.

Cannot get better service. Our server was great and it was nice to be remembered and welcomed back as if we were family! Always a great meal
We enjoyed an incredible, family-style meal and enjoyed every bite. Will definitely be coming back for the full to-do and lighter dinners.
