Had the srv arsenale tasting menu which consisted of 9 courses. Some in menu some off menu. The server said it feeds an army and he wasn't kidding! So much food for only $65 bucks As the  arsenale menu is always changing I won't review each dish (I did put a description with each photo) but will say you get three one bite items, three appetizers, and two entree sizes items and then a dessert. All are equally delicious!  The staff is also very friendly. Will be returning! 5/5 experience

Some of the best italian in south end. The snap pea salad was surprisingly good! Service was very friendly, and the ambiance was very cozy.

Food was amazing!!! And the service was great highly recommend!! We had the shrimp pasta which was good!

Beautiful restaurant with welcoming service and a beautiful patio to dine al fresco. We ordered the lobster fra diavolo and the halibut that was on special for the day. The halibut was a nice size and perfectly prepared. My noodles were perfectly aligned dente and the lobster was mixed into my sauce. Enjoyed our meal and would come back.

Really fun and tasty dinner! I sat at the row of moving bar stools which were a unique and comfortable place to sit, but while I was there I observed one person fall off a stool and a second person almost fell! So be careful on the moving bar stools or get a table if anyone in your group may be unsteady on a chair without a back! The arancini and the baccala mantecato were perfect small bites for two and the pasta dishes were well seasoned and so delicious! The negroni had a tasty apple flavor and the Venetian Spritz cocktail was also tasty, not as sweet as I would usually expect for an Aperol spritz.

This place had been recommended by several coworkers so I knew I had to check it out. I tried the sunchoke risotto (with meyer lemon, mustard greens, and robiola) which was very comforting and rich. The sunchoke chips on top gave it a great balance of textures. I also tried the stuffed paccheri with octopus, fennel, and tomato, which was also delicious and definitely on the lighter side compared to the risotto. I was lucky to snag some seats at the bar as a walk-in, but the restaurant did fill fast even on weekday nights so I would recommend reservations.

SRV is a solid spot for dinner if you're in the South End area! We started off with delicious mocktails and the arancini. The arancini was good but definitely a small bite for two people. Our dinner consisted of the squid ink risotto and NY strip steak which were both delicious! Highly recommend ordering a risotto for dinner. Definitely save room for dessert because the apple tart we ordered was great. All our plates came out quick and our waiter was super attentive. Since we snagged a reservation a bit late, we had to take the counter spots which were a little awkward. If possible try to plan ahead of time so you can get a reservation at a table! Overall had a great experience and would definitely recommend.

Every bite we had was so well balanced. It was really one of the best meals we've had in Boston in a long time. Starting off with the cocktails -- the solido a liquido literally tastes like a caprese salad and it was so surprisingly delicious and refreshing -- I'm still thinking about it. Highlights from the menu: 1. the fried quail, it was like KFC on steroids and the mushrooms / potatoes made for the perfect pairings 2. Smoked sea trout - I'm not usually a smoked fish fan but my partner wanted to try and I couldn't stop eating it, especially the beans and escarole were addicting 3. Strozzapreti - one of the best pasta dishes I've had in Boston. Hands down delicious. Must get. We'll definitely be back!

Overall good but some items were a bit to salty for personal taste. Service was great! Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the ambiance. Polpette: The meatballs were not worth it for us. It just tasted like normal meatballs so I would pass on this. Fingerling Potato: Definitely worth it! Crispy and flavorful! Loved the hint of rosemary in this dish. Fried Quail: The quail, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms combined really well together. The mushrooms were a bit too salty for me. Strozzapreti: Best item we ordered. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the cauliflower and sauce were delicious. Paccheri: Eggplant pasta was good but didn't stand out. Sauce was too salty.

I love how modern and creative SRV's dishes are! We ordered individual dishes and we got several to try: 1. I was pleasantly surprised by the squash blossoms, as I had never tasted these before and was expecting them to be bitter/flowery, but they came deep fried with cheese, and this combo is never a flop. Despite how they were cooked, they were really light, and I found myself craving for more. 2. Snap Pea salad - this was a nice side to the other dishes, as we got pretty rich items from the menu. The snap peas were cold and refreshing, and added in a lighter, slightly more bitter flavor profile to the dinner. 3. Lamb risotto was super creamy and flavorful. I normally am not a huge fan of lamb, but the lamb in this dish didn't taste super gamey, and blended in really well with the risotto. 4. Tiramisu - when we ordered this, the waitress warned us that we would be surprised by the size, and we laughed and sort of brushed it off, but genuinely, when it came out we were shocked at how enormous it was. There was four of us and it still was a little difficult to finish, but we polished it off anyway because it was so so good.
