Contessa Boston

Contessa is an elegant rooftop Italian restaurant and bar atop the Newbury Hotel in Boston's prestigious Back Bay neighborhood, with sweeping vistas of the Boston Public Garden and the Back Bay skyline from its perch on Three Newbury Street. Designed by celebrated tastemaker Ken Fulk, the space blends Art Deco and mid-century modern aesthetics into an atmosphere of nostalgic glamour, sun-soaked during the day and romantically starlit at night. The menu showcases Northern Italian classics including Piemontese carpaccio, signature pizzas, tortellini en brodo, ricotta gnudi, and bistecca Fiorentina, while an extensive wine program featuring over 6,000 bottles — with an emphasis on Italian and French selections and a notable Nebbiolo collection — complements masterful Negronis and Martinis. Contessa is operated by Major Food Group and serves breakfast through dinner with extended cocktail hours.
