Rabia's Dolce Fumo - Crossing

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

Delishious food! Service was a bit slow we waited for about 30 min before we were able to order drinks. Watch out for their goblets! Absolutely delishious and surprising but do ask about the price before ordering! The menus has no prices for these drinks! Overall we enjoyed the visit!

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.

Rabias has the best seafood dishes. Everything is outstanding there from the food to the service. One of my fav north end spots

Delicious food, great service. Hopefully, we will come back soon.
