We somehow just walked in on a day that was rainy as hell. Had no idea the place was so popular, we got to enjoy it just us and another table. The food was superb and came fast. The guys working were super friendly. The menu is short and sweet. Which we all know means they can actually cook the items. I've already sent plenty of people their way! Heads up CASH ONLY.

A very small restaurant with only about 20 seats. In November, we started lining up at 10:25 a.m. to get seats for the first seating and managed to be first in line. When the restaurant opened at 11 a.m., there was still one four-person table available, but by the time we finished eating, there was already a line outside. The Clams Casino, Black Pasta Aglio Olio, and Vongole Bianco were all excellent. Just bring enough cash!!

Black AGLIO OLIO(full size) and CALAMARI with White Sauce were delicious!

Tight in corridor, but the food is explosive with flavor. Simple, high quality ingredients appears to be the recipe here. This is our 4th time here- each time we've visited Boston area.
We always order the Black Pasta Aglio Olio and Lobster Fra Diavolo and the results are always tastefully consistent.
Treat yourself, a date, a friend and/or colleague to a wonderful experience at The Daily Catch.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Daily Catch – North End, Boston If you’re looking for authentic, unforgettable seafood pasta in Boston, The Daily Catch is a must. I’m a huge fan of their Lobster Fra Diavolo. It’s hands down one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The flavors are bold, spicy, and perfectly balanced, and you can really taste how fresh the ingredients are. The place itself is small and cozy, with that classic North End charm. You might have to wait for a table, but it’s absolutely worth it. Every bite reminds me why I keep coming back! It’s that good! Can’t say enough good things about this spot. A true Boston gem!

The squid ink pasta delivers strongest squid taste that I have seen in pasta, and other pasta options are all worth a try as well. However wait can be long and you can only pash with cash.

My husband and I stopped in Boston after a road trip through New England. Our hotel was walking distance to Hanover street and discovered this cute little restaurant, The Daily Catch. Didn’t have to wait more than 10 minutes and were seated next to a very fun couple. One of the best seafood in Boston. We ordered the famous lobster Fra Diavolo. It’s impressive as well as delicious 🤤
The pasta was so fresh and obviously homemade and cooked al dente to perfection. The sauce tasted homemade there is limited seating and there’s usually a wait totally worth it.

During my last trip to Boston, we finally made it to this popular Italian spot in the North End that I had been wanting to try. They don’t seem to take reservations, and we waited about 40 minutes in line—which is pretty typical for Italian restaurants in this area. The place is quite small, with limited seating, so expect to share long bench-style tables with other diners. The open kitchen and handwritten menu on the blackboard add a rustic, authentic charm.
To start, they served complimentary bread with their signature olive oil and balsamic dip. We ordered fried calamari as an appetizer—it was fresh, crispy, and came in a generous portion. For mains, we chose the shrimp scampi and a lobster pasta. The lobster dish stood out with huge chunks of fresh lobster in a light garlic and marinara base. It was simple but executed perfectly, though a little messy to eat. The shrimp scampi was also very straightforward, highlighting the quality of the seafood and fresh pasta. All dishes are served in the cooking pan, which makes the presentation unique. Portions are large and very filling—we couldn’t even try the black pasta I had my eye on, nor did we have room for dessert. We skipped the wine this time, but I’d recommend pairing one with their pasta.
Overall, the experience was excellent: flavorful food, rustic ambiance, and a lively North End vibe. Just note—it’s cash only, so be prepared. I’d definitely recommend it and plan to return.

The lobster seafood pasta (Lobster Fra Diavolo) didn’t disappoint us. The see food and lobster are perfectly boiled/ steamed, tasted tender and juicy. The sauce is finely flavored with multiple spices and give the seafood strong sun dry tomato scent. One serving of Lobster Fra Diavolo is a bit mush for one to finish but sure you can because of this irresistible delicious cuisine.
