About this business
Unwind, Italian-style, at Rialto, where James Beard Award-winning chef Jody Adams brings an Italian perspective to New England ingredients. This September and October Rialto's kitchen turns its focus to the snowy mountains & mild valleys of Trentino-Alto Adige, whose ideal climates lend themselves to fresh fruit, hearty meats and sausages, smoked hams, and cows milk cheeses like Asiago-- all of which you'll find on our new Fall Dinner Menu. Current menu offerings include Smoky Speck with Stuffed Grape Leaves; handmade Rye Ta... read more

Great food, relaxing ambiance Rialto is in the Charles Hotel, but is not a typical, average hotel restaurant. You enter by walking into the bar that is quiet, relaxing, with a white decor. The entire staff is always very friendly. The restaurant is relaxing, with terrific food and excellent service. It is a bit expensive. I recommend sitting at the bar--the bartenders make excellent wine and dinner suggestions. It is a casual and fun way to kick off an evening in Cambridge.
Rialto is upscale and romantic very upscale fusion food, eclectic presentation, beautiful bar, old hollywood style banquet booth seating, meals were excellent but small in size. romantic for couples.
contemporary Italian Food is solid, as you'd expect from a James Beard winner. Wine selection is sufficient for even snobbish palates. Service is excellent, decor is crisp and clean. All in all, it's a good meal for a good price in a good location. All that said, I left feeling like I wanted just a bit more - more creativity, more food on my plate, more of an experience. I'll try it again, because I am sure it can be fantastic.
Rialto is Cambridgean, yuppie Italian goodness! Jody Adams' Rialto is a hit in Cambridge.

I tend to gravitate more towards traditional Italian fare done exceptionally well (see Orta Ristorante in Pembroke, Lucia Ristorante in Boston, or Bottega Fiorentina in Brookline). Meals like "pomegranate glazed quail" don't usually appeal to me (and yes that's a real one from Rialto). However, Adams makes th... read more
I had a great time at Rialto, enjoyed the relaxing lounge atmosphere with great jazz music playing. Food was just delicious. I can't wait to have again the Tuna crudo, Grilled oysters and try other items in their nenu. Very good wine selection.
