Jeveli’s Restauant

It was empty on a Wednesday evening. Food came fast, but bread was just OK.

Service was slow when I went two days ago then again that happens when you have only one waitress taking care of 5 tables. The waitress was very nice though! I ordered the vodka pasta and boy was it yummy. Afterwards my friend and I decided to sit at the bar and I got 2 words for ya Mudslide! My only pet peeve with this restaurant is there interior, super outdated and dingy. Maybe they choose to keep the inside in its original state since it’s one of the oldest restaurants in Eastie? Would I come again? Sure why not.

Good quality and good value here, chicken and eggplant parm are excellent not to mention the best antipasto around !

Absolutely love this place! We used to get take out from here often when we lived closer. Their veal piccata is the best and most tender I have ever had. I’ve had dreams about it afterwards! Their VEAL is the best period! Have never ordered something I didn’t like. My mouth is watering now as I’m recalling my experience. Go already!

The best chicken park hands down! I don’t get it anywhere else, the pasta e Fagioli is just like home!

This place was delicious! ! Service was excellent and i would definitely come again! Kim was a great server, very attentive.

the chicken parm. two thumbs up! prices are reasonable, especially the lunch daily specials, fun to sit at the bar! Go Jeveli’s! Haven’t been here in 20 years, same good food.

Always consistent Italian food. had a family gathering tonight. lamb tips. baked haddock… tripe. the best homemade Italian food. the chef even came out and introduced himself. this does not happen at alot of restaurant. .jusr like a good old fashioned Sunday meal. thank you Jeveli‘s!

What a treasure in the East End.

Chicken escarole soup– excellent!
Warm bread-​excellent!
Meatballs– meh. :(
Red Sauce: meh :(
Lobster Ravioli: Delicious!
Shrimp & Fresh Asparagus over linguini: Fair :(The shrimp were overcooked, tough, and small. The asparagus was overcooked. Way too much linguini for the (small) portion of shrimp & asparagus.
I’d go back, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

4 of us dropped in for donner on a wednessay night. The spacious yet cozy dining room had 3 other tables and a large party of 7 arrived as we were leaving. Service was prompt and courteous and the owner was very friendly with the 3 year old, keeping her occupied so I could finish my meal. I really appreciated that and they did not mind her curiously walking around.
My clams linguine was very very good — i like a lot of garlic and herbs, so that would be the reason for my 4 stars instead of 5. I found it a bit under seasoned.
My dining group memebers ordered a marinara and a alfredo. The alfredo was extremely creamy, over the top. It tasted fine but if you have a hard time digesting dairy, stay the hell away from this one. The marinara was perfect.
Overall, a solid beighbourhood gem. Will be back to try more things like the appetizers and the lobster ravioli.

Haven’t been here in a long while and was pleasantly surprised. The décor was fresh, the food delish and the waitstaff very attentive. I had veal parm with ravioli and Dan had Seafood Maria. Both outstanding.

Came here with my boyfriend because his friend had suggested it. Instantly loved t. Fresh bread from the oven (my favorite thing ever). The service was extremely friendly. Didn’t wait long. He got spaghetti and meatballs. He loved it! I got chicken alfredo which i loved too. Definitely am coming back for more!

Feels like a family dinner, enjoyed everything on the menu. Service was personal, fast and portions were huge. The manicotti is very fresh, the chicken parm filled the plate, but save room for a cannoli. Look past the dated décor, leave the dinner jacket at home and enjoy a night of Italian cooking. Plenty of seating and filled with locals. $
(Courtyard Marriott shuttle will drop off too)

This local dive is a regional favorite BUT don’t you think that you can wear a leather vest in here and get exceptional service. Supposedly they have amazing food and locals love it! The interior looks like something straight outta Goodfellas (I bet everyone thinks that’s a compliment. It’s not.)
Edit:
They reprimanded me for taking my shirt off. You must NEVER EVER take Ur shirt off in this Bar. Even if you are on fire. Stop. Drop. And Roll. Also there is no music playing inside. Terminal J does not live up to the hype. Well actually they do have good pizza.

While staying at the Hilton airport hotel we needed dinner, not over priced hotel food. Thank you Unilocal!Ignore the old reviews about bad service, obviously they fixed that problem. The lobster ravioli was fantastic. A small cute gem in East Boston.

Wow, this is one of my favorite places to get lobster ravioli. The price is decent and they give real chunks of lobster and a good portion too! Definitely don’t want to share… but oh well! It’s kinda of a local/​divey pub/​restaurant– i guess the dining room is different but i always sit at the bar side for some reason. You get a delicious salad with your entrée and the bread is to die for!
my bf did get this chicken pasta dish that wasn’t that good… i guess it depends on what you get. but the ravioli hasn’t let me down yet!

My dad is extremely old school, and anytime he comes to see me this is where we HAVE TO GO. Apparently, I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. I am glad he reminded me.
Service is great. Very local– «honey», «babe», etc are typically parts of the conversation. Everything is quick and my order has always been accurate.
Portions are enormous. My eyes are often bigger than my stomach here. Between my dad and I there are usually enough leftovers for two more meals. Veal part is fantastic, breading is perfect and it’s probably among the best I’ve had. Salads with every meal– don’t order an appetizer or you’re going to be too full for supper!
Prices are super low for what you get. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great meal at a good value in Eastie.

I was out with some friends, and one of us wanted to go get food. We reluctantly went along, but we were glad that we did! We were delightfully surprised at how good the food was!
We arrived and my friend started heading for the dining room. Oops! It was closed! But, that’s to be expected late at night (~9PM) on a Tuesday night. We took a table up front near the bar. The waitress got us a pitcher of water, menus, and we settled in. The prices looked a bit steep at first, but when the food arrived, we could see why. The portions are HUGE! You get what you pay for and then some! You will have leftovers for 2 meals! They brought out some bread and butter. Now, these aren’t your dinky little bread rolls. They brought out two whole loaves of bread. It appeared to be freshly made, and the sesame seeds on top added a delightful nuttiness to the bread.
One of my friends ordered the fettuccini alfredo. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. My other friend ordered the chicken parm sandwich.
As I said, the portions are huge! You WILL get your leftovers to go! It’s just that good! My friend’s chicken parm came on a loaf of bread, the same bread that they gave us earlier with butter. I was surprised that my friend could finish it!
This restaurant doesn’t look like much in a corner of Day Sq, so it’s easy to pass by without a second glance, but the food here is incredible, and I will not hesitate to return again!

Absolutely incredible place. I flew here 53 weeks ago and had been still thinking about it. Needless to say my job put me back here for a day or so, immediate this was the first place I returned too :). Let’s start with the atmosphere. It’s a bar/​restaurant. It’s very local/​homey feeling. It’s very clean. The staff are amazing. The manager Lorenzo and my favorite bartender Paul took such good care of us the first time we were in. They also looked out for me because the first day we were in some of the guys were unwelcomely trying to talk to me. They made sure they left me alone. Fast forward to now, they remembered me and were very happy to have me back! I was on my own this time and they made conversation with me here and there. It made me feel at home once again!
Now onto the food.

I can’t remember exactly what I had the first time except that I kept getting fed with different appetizers. I just remember the bruschetta which is what I started with this time. It was sooooooo good. It’s a huge portion and only 7.95. They use buffalo mozzarella on the bread which really makes a difference. I had the eggplant rolletini (which they bake not fry, yay) and the meatballs (which I’ve had before. They are huge and delicious). I don’t think anything could disappoint here.
Food, service, atmosphere get way above 5 stars. Other restaurants should definitely take note. I’ll be back anytime I make it to Boston again!
