I loved it here. The music playlist, the staff, its drinks and food. Great spot for the north ends journey. Thank you.

Overall good. We came to try a specific item which has consistently been on the menu on their website. We have been checking for over 1 month! When we got to the restaraunt the item (lobster ravioli in vodka sauce) was not on the menu and our server said it hadn't been available for some time! It is still listed on the website today! So we started off disappointed as we would not have gone there if we knew the dish we came for wasn't available. We shared a Pistachio Martini that was good but $19.00!! We have had much better versions in the same neighborhood for $13.00. Our entrees were quite small but good. So it was ok and only a few minute walk from home so we were hopeful but won't be returning.

We went here for dinner and had some drinks and apps. Everything was going well it’s a cozy spot! My friend did ask for a vodka soda but they said they couldn’t make that which was confusing since they have a cocktail menu. However, when we went to order dinner we were informed we couldn’t because the kitchen was closed. Never were we asked if we were going to order entrees or given any type of warning by our waitress that the kitchen was closing soon. We were offered no help or suggestions by anyone….very disappointing to go somewhere for dinner and then be told you can’t be served dinner.

Very close and personal but oh so delicious. Not meant for big parties. Cute little date night spot. Pistachio martini was delicious. Food was fantastic
Cafe Amaro is a true North End gem. While the space is small, it only adds to the quaint, cozy charm of the restaurant. The food was terrific—thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine that paired perfectly with our meal and made the experience feel special. Our server was excellent and very attentive without being intrusive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Best of all, my 20- and 22-year-old children absolutely loved it, which says a lot. A wonderful spot that captures the intimate, authentic feel of the North End—I would happily return.

We visited this resterant in the North End last night before the Andrea Bocelli concert, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The restaurant is small and intimate—maybe 20 seats at most—but beautifully decorated and incredibly inviting. Now, the food… absolutely outstanding. I’m very picky about Chicken Marsala because not everyone can make it well, but theirs was amazing. Truly, words can’t express how good it was. The Caprese salad was the perfect start—simple, fresh, and just enough. The atmosphere is unbelievable: cozy, warm, and romantic without being too quiet. It feels like you’re sharing a meal in a room full of family. The staff? Wonderful—attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Five stars all the way. A perfect date-night spot, and a place we’ll definitely return to.

We celebrated my daughter's birthday here and the food was outstanding! Everyone in our family was very happy with their meals and the service was wonderful. They brought out a dessert for my daughter and everyone sang to her. The restaurant is cozy and decorated beautifully for Christmas. We will definitely be back next time we are in Boston!!
