"A glitzy, award-winning Italian restaurant located in the same building but run separately by a Boston-based restaurant group, operating independently from the property's in-house culinary program." - Erika Adams
"Put on your shiniest shoes for a night out at La Padrona, the glitzy Italian newcomer inside luxury hotel and residency Raffles in Back Bay. Named Eater Boston’s best new restaurant in 2024, this showstopper has just about everything you want in a big, spendy night out: A sexy dining room buzzing with energy, extravagant entrees to share with the table, and ice-cold martini service to boot. Must-try dish: The competition is stiff, but the milk-braised rabbit ragu fazzoletti is one of the best pasta dishes in town." - Erika Adams
"La Padrona — the glamorous Italian restaurant that opened in Raffles last May — is a bona-fide hit. The restaurant, which was named Eater Boston’s Best New Restaurant of 2024, nails both the environment and the execution, starting with the grand staircase that diners ascend to get to the showstopping dining room. Then there’s dinner itself, which will likely involve many courses of appetizers (you can’t go wrong with the chickpea spoon bread and the tuna crudo), luxurious pasta, and even more luxurious centerpiece plates like roasted rack of lamb or the dry-aged 40-ounce porterhouse steak with grilled focaccia." - Erika Adams
"La Padrona is my favorite restaurant that opened this year. I celebrated my anniversary there with my spouse, and it felt truly special. The atmosphere is intimate even though the space is expansive. The service is so warm and genuine, and the food is exceptional — it’s a perfect place to mark a meaningful moment. Jody, Jon, and Eric have really outdone themselves. — Karen Akunowicz" - Tanya Edwards
"Famous for its Pomodoro martini, which comes with a side of pickles." - Erika Adams
