Henrietta's Table
Chef Peter Davis has created a comfortable and award winning restaurant at Henrietta's Table, which honors the culinary bounty of New England. Chef Davis uses organic and native ingredients from local producers in and beyond Massachusetts to create an original and simple approach to classic regional cuisine.
Davis' keen awareness of the integrity of food in its natural state, eye for color and instinct for balance of tastes has earned him both local and national critical acclaim.
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch & supper 7 days a week, along with an award-winning weekend brunch. During the spring and summer, guests can enjoy dining on the Henrietta's large outdoor patio.
Henrietta's Table offers private dining facilities for parties of up to 45 guests, and easily accommodates functions ranging from annual meetings to rehearsal dinners. The flexibility of the space is equally matched by Chef Peter Davis' menu offerings needs.

In September and October Rialto's kitchen turns its focus to Tuscany, current menu offerings include Heirloom Tomatoes with caponata, pine nuts, red wine vinegar and Tuscan croutons; Ravioli of Braised Rabbit with a saffron pepper sauce; and Cacciotto, traditional Tuscan Seafood Stew, with house-cured salt cod, shrimp, clams, mussels and charred plum tomatoes.
