Cambridge's dining scene is gearing up to welcome a blend of tradition and innovation with the opening of MonteVerdi at The Royal Sonesta hotel. A press release indicates that Seth Greenberg, the restaurateur recognized for spots like Mistral and Mooo Seaport, is at the helm of this new venture, taking up residence where the former Dante used to be.

For those in search of a meal with a view, MonteVerdi promises not just scrumptious Italian cuisine, but also an outdoor terrace overlooking the serene Charles River. The restaurant will initially roll out dinner and a weekend brunch, with plans to expand offerings to include lunch service, and a raw bar down the line, according to Boston Restaurants Blog.

The Royal Sonesta Boston hotel itself is no stranger to allure, situated conveniently for guests keen to explore landmarks such as TD Garden, MIT University, and the New England Aquarium. From plush guest rooms and suites sporting enviable Boston city views, the hotel caters to both business, and leisure travelers. Among its amenities are a fitness center and swimming pool, a nod to the brand's ethos, "Long Live the Guest," as emphasized by The Royal Sonesta's official website.

Prospective patrons of MonteVerdi can anticipate its grand opening in May, adding another reason for foodies to flock to 40 Edwin H Land Boulevard, along Cambridge's waterfront promenade. Although there's a suite of dining options already available in the area, Greenberg's latest endeavor is poised to carve out its own niche, combining his knack for culinary excellence with the hotel's penchant for high-end hospitality.
