SRV

SRV brings Venetian small plates to the South End, with cicchetti, fresh pasta and risotto cooked to order. The name stands for Serene Republic of Venice, and the Italian focus carries through to the wines and cocktails. Start with a few small bites, such as whipped salt cod on black bread or pork and beef meatballs, before moving on to pasta. If your table would rather let the kitchen choose, the Arsenale menu is a shared meal that everyone at the table orders together. There is also plenty of room to choose à la carte. Outdoor dining is available when the weather allows, and the drinks list includes nonalcoholic choices alongside spritzes, wine and amaro.
