Our Story
The original location of Contessa debuted in 2021 on the rooftop of The Newbury Boston in Boston and quickly cemented its reputation as one of the most glamorous and exceptional Italian restaurants in America. Forbes wrote that Contessa is “the place you’ll want to trade in the sweatsuit for high heels or a suit.” The luxury magazine Boston Common declared it the “crème de la crème” of the city’s dining scene. And in a rave, Boston Magazine concluded that “The food is terrific. The views are sublime. The wine list—a Nebbiolo nerd’s cherry-toned, vertical-vintage playground—is deep and dreamy.”
In October 2022, Contessa debuted in the Miami Design District. With marble floors, a grand staircase, and a wealth of lush design accents, the two-story space speaks to the high fashion of the famed neighborhood.
