Parla Boston Reviews
We were looking for a place to grab a drink and get some
We were looking for a place to grab a drink and get some appetizers near the Canopy Hilton and their menu looked interesting so we decided to check it out. It is very small but that gives it a nice cozy, intimate vibe. We tried four cocktails from t

Staff was wonderful and above and beyond exceptional service from Diane who was so accommodating and the definition of wonderful. It is a small space but you can make a reservation ahead of time or walk in. Drink selection was great and they had al
I had an amazing time here.
The food was incredible. We got the meatballs, and I got chicken parm which were both amazing. The roll for drinks is such a fun touch. I'm picky with drinks so I knew I probably wouldn't love a random surprise drink, but the idea was too f

Small space, but a good vibe! We rolled the dice twice and got two drinks we liked but didn't love. I've had better luck at the other location, but we'd definitely come back to try again here too!
Unique
Very unique bar and experience. We stopped in for drinks and did not try the food. The vibe is very cool and the drink menu is expansive. They have an option where you can roll a 20 numbered dice and you get a random cocktail of their choosing. It wa

Came here for brunch, and the star of the show was the beignets, which were perfectly crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside and in some great custard jam combo. The lobster Benedict had fantastic hollandaise sauce and poached eggs, but the fr

I have been going to the Parla in Assembly since they opened, so I was excited to try the original in the North End. My friend and I had a reservation, which I'm glad we had because it was full on a Monday evening. It's a small place, so th

Such a fun experience at Parla! We went mainly to check out the small but cozy restaurant known for their Italian food and drink experiences. The seared octopus wasn't exactly what we expected, but it was tasty. The chicken parm was good as wa
5 Star Dinner & Vibe - Poor Service (Hence the rating)
Dinner was absolutely fantastic. The vibe is awesome as well, from the menu even to the restroom. We were a group of four, taking out the team for the holiday and to say thanks. Everything was going along quite well, 5 Star. Ordered a second "
An excellent brunch
Stopped by on a Saturday morning for brunch. Coffee was excellent- as were cocktails! Interesting menu... chicken and waffles, polenta "sandwich" and braised lamb aroncini were all stellar! A reasonably priced hidden gem. Check it out...
Great atmosphere, food and cocktails
Came here on the one day I had to explore Boston and I really enjoyed it. Had brunch and loved the great food and excellent cocktail menu. Would go back if ever in Boston in the future.
A truly small hidden gem
A hidden gem in North-end. The place is really small but the vibe and staff more than make up for it. We just had drinks so I can not speak to the food. They have an off menu drink challenge. This consists of 20 drinks. You roll a dice (not nor
Amazing secret cocktail menu!
I absolutely LOVE this place, both the North End and Assembly Row locations! My favorite part is the secret D20 cocktail menu, where you roll a D20 and get a surprise cocktail based on the number you rolled!
Great find
Stopped in for an afternoon cocktail. Enjoyed a great old fashion. Super nice staff! Would recommend to stop in and have a drink.
Excellent Cuisine in a cosy restaurant
The food at Parla is simply delicious. One standout dish is the lobster ravioli, which is a delightful combination of tender lobster meat encased in perfectly cooked pasta. Another must-try is the Spaghetti with shrimp, which is packed with flavor an
Cute little spot for cocktails
My husband and I came here twice before our dinners while on our trip to Boston. The bar is all walk-ins, and if they have room, they will seat you. After 8 pm, it's all for walk-ins. We came here solely for drinks and we really enjoyed it. The ser
Creativity exemplified imo.
First time in Boston and found this as in the street on recommendation from the trolley driver and thereafter from reviews. This place is a ‘potent’ mixture of great music, cocktails and food which brings creativity I have not witnessed before. S
Brunch at Parla!
absolutely loved the staff, food (Polenta Breakfast Sandwich), drinks (Coffee Drank). Thank you! Small space, but it was a perfect, low key spot right on Hanover Street in North End. Staff was very kind and approachable. We will definitely come back

Parla is an amazing speakeasy with a great style and vibe.
The location is impeccable as you're right in the heart of north end surrounded by amazing restaurants and bakeries. If you're looking for good quality drinks I would say it's definitely worth the stop. And I'd recommend to sit at the bar to get a m

Awful.
Made a reservation and was inside by the door ten minutes early. Some waitress said to go outside or find other dining, since we were early. Not to mention it was freezing out. Agreed to go outside but said I hope the table it open by our reservation

I love this place.
Very fun concept and friendly staff. The drinks and food are unbelievable. Highly recommend for date night or night out with friends!
Parla was Great!
Food was fantastic. Drinks truly crafted and vibe of staff was great. Make sure you roll the 20 sided dice for a surprise cocktail……favorite part was the cool leather journal- like menus with blank sheets to write you own story, greeting or eve
Connect with users posting reservations for Parla Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Parla Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Parla Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Parla Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Parla Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Parla Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
