From Puglia at the tip of the boot to Piedmont at the foothills of the Alps, Jody takes Italian culinary traditions and expresses them with New England ingredients. Rialto produces outstanding dishes like Parma Prosciutto with Burrata and Figs; Floppy Robiola Lasagna with Mushrooms and Sage Butter; and Tuscan Style Tenderloin with Arugula, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Truffle Oil. Entertain your clients as you dine in luxury overlooking Harvard Square through Rialto’s floor to ceiling windows.

The Smart Place to Stay

A stay at The Charles Hotel brings you in contact with a myriad of options for exploration on either side of the river. Enjoy a stroll along The Charles River, a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, a tour of the historic Harvard Yard, and first-class dining and shopping. Boston is a mere ten minute drive, or you can choose to ride one of our hotel bicycles along the scenic Charles River Bike Path. In warmer months, the Charles Square Farmers Market takes place at our doorstep, offering local produce and other delicacies. In the winter, after spinning a few turns on our ice skating rink, warm up with a cup of hot cocoa at Henrietta’s Table.
