Last week I got to attend the Grand Opening party for Cinquecento in Boston’s South End.
The former home for Rocca has been completely re-vamped and looks fantastic! I love the open feel to it and the decor is different than any other Boston restaurant I have visited.
I brought my roommate as a guest and although we enjoyed some delicious signature drinks and wine there was not much food to try. We are both looking forward to going back soon to have dinner – I have a feeling it’s going to be really good!
Here are some images from the night…all were edited on my iPhone with Snapseed (my current favorite iPhone app, totally worth buying).
