50 Best Wine Bars in Boston

“Never disappoints. Small plates and a few entrees. Extensive wine offerings. Superb service.“

“Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!“

“We visited haley.henry on a Friday night around 5pm. The staff (starting with Hannah, then met Ann Marie, then Meg) was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We sat at the bar and had the loveliest time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

The tinned tuna belly with toasted bread made us so happy and easily enough to come back for. The octopus in garlic and olive oil was insane, however. This is the place I'm coming back to every time I visit Boston. What a special place.“

“My favorite wine bar, specially for after work drinks or girls hangout! Wonderful wine selection, including great orange wine options. Tasty small plates to go with your wine. It’s great for wine and tapas but not really a dinner place in my opinion.“

“Great experience, our waiter Brian gave us Great service and recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Steak melts in your mouth!“

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

“The food was delicious. We got a blood orange sangria pitcher and about 2 plates per person (note- we shared them all) so 6-7 plates total, and the service was wonderful. It was my birthday and they were sweet to help celebrate. Would absolutely recommend!“

“I attended an event yesterday at this amazing Restaurant. The atmosphere is so inviting, the drinks were delicious. Food was absolutely scrumptious. And the staff all so kind and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!“

“Food delicious!! I told them they stole my sauce and meatball recipe! Best meatballs ever“

“Always make a priority of coming here when in Boston. The service is excellent and they’ve come to add an even more personal touch as I’ve gone back again and again. Sitting at the counter viewing the kitchen is a must. You see all the action and gorgeous plating as it takes shape.
Absolutely recommend the wine pairings. They are always interesting but also approachable, sophisticated but never intimidating or overwhelming.
Also recommend opting in for the foie gras special when they have it. It changes with the seasons (as does the rest of the menu) and I’ve loved it every time.
Overall a great experience and fabulous meal every time!“

“First time here and the shrimp tacos were delicious! French fries were thin and cooked perfectly.“

“From start to finish it was awesome!!! Food, drinks and service were amazing! Rodi was an amazing hostess, thank you for the awesome experience. Patrick, Annelice and Breana. Ps. Romania 🇷🇴 here we come. 😂“

“We stopped by on 2 May 2025 for a brief lunch and ordered the charcuterie board and the oysters—both of which were fantastic. Frank was our server, and he was professional, kind, and knowledgeable. He provided us with suggestions on choosing the meats and cheeses for our charcuterie board, and he had very good picks! The vibe was fun, and we sat in the back overlooking their garden as they played nostalgic songs from the early 2000s and 2010s. Highly recommend. We'll be back soon enough with friends!“

“Amazing restaurant, I love it. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Very Energetic! Bartender was fantastic“

“Incredible! I dine here all the time.“

“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.“

“Went to Capital Grille Boston tonight to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The restaurant is beautiful, the food is amazing (hello Kona crusted filet mignon and espresso martini), and the staff is all super friendly. The service is exceptional and our amazing server, Malik, made our night feel very special. If you want to celebrate something special or have good steak on Tuesday, this is where you come. Ask for Malik!!“

“Company holiday party this evening. It was FABULOUS. The food was off the hook fantastic. The staff was superb and highly personable. The space was decorated perfectly. The music wasn’t too loud. The would NOT hesitate to eat here or have a function here, this is an absolute hidden gem in Boston. Five kabillion 🌟 stars!“

“I've had Lucia's food several times this Summer, sometimes takeout, sometimes sitting down in the restaurant. Pasta is always great; chicken dishes are cooked wonderfully. The only two reasons I don't give it a five. 1. Speed, service is attentive but sometimes the meals are paced a bit slow to follow the apps. Food is good, especially for the price, so worth the wait usually. 2. The Tri Color for two is a little small to serve two people. Its a great dish and they should absolutely add the Tortellini with cream sauce to the permanent menu. But If you're going to split that with someone get some sides and appetizers as well. All and All a wonderful place to grab a bite. Good Food, good vibes, lot of history to the place.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere!“

“Wait staff was very attentive and kind.“

“Incredible food. We went for a date night and were HIGHLY impressed with the quality and flavor. The waitress was also very friendly and helped us with recommendations since it was our first time there. I wish there was one in Providence!!“

“The food was excellent and the service was exceptional which is a rarity these days. Our waitress was personable and answered questions about the menu intelligently and had the perfect balance of not rushing us and not making us wait to ask water, the check, etc. A fun place to go...“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“This is a great Cuban restaurant. They have taken Cuban food and refined it and added unexpected delicious ways of preparation. I love Cuban food and this restaurant is preparing deliciously. It is also on a pedestrian only street it has a sophisticated casual European feel. Go. You will be pleased.“

“We had an amazing night at mooo Beacon Hill. Jeffrey, our server, was so funny and helpful. He made the night even more memorable The food was outstanding.  three of us had the beef Wellington, which was made superbly. We had a lovely evening, and felt well taken care of by the staff. Including helping us get back to our hotel safely that night. highly recommended.“

“fabulous time Sunday at the Beehive. Sonny was an excellent server and the food was great, his recommendations were right on. Highly suggested.“

“Everyone was so friendly and great food. I love seafood and I am glad they had it. I glad they closed their kitchen late at night like 11 pm. I could enjoy a meal without reservations. Excellent five stars for me.“

“Always amazing food and service!“

“Incredible vibes. I would say it's a better spot for an outing with friends vs like a date. It's the perfect place for dinner and a pre game spot before/near some of the best bars (a Boston natives opinion). And the service is incredible. It feels like your server is your best friend; the non judgmental one, who will tell you that you should totally get the steak over the chicken. I felt like I was vibing with friends, but if my friends had a dope restaurant“

“Everything about Limoncello’s is terrific. I started back in the early 2000’s having lunch when visiting family that lives in Chelsea. Then we came this past summer for my son’s 10th birthday. We dined there Friday and Saturday night this past weekend because my son loves it so much. If you haven’t tried it, then get there! It’s the best I’ve had in the North End! Maurizio is a gentleman and his family treated us wonderfully. Chico is a great server and LuLu is quick witted, kind, and BEAUTIFUL! Every staff member was great…especially one person that really made my boy feel special.“

“Our favorite place every time we’re in Boston.💚 So good! Cozy environment. Veronica was wonderful.. and made us feel special when she remembered our order the next time we were in. 🥰“

“I would like to highlight the outstanding service provided by our server, Brian. He was courteous, attentive, and made our dining experience exceptional. Both the food and cocktails were delicious — everything was of excellent quality, thank you Brian“

“My wife and I visited Bricco during our first trip to Boston, and let me tell you, it was amazing! Top notch service provided by Manuel Machuca - He was outstanding, and incredibly helpful. The food was upscale and delicious and the atmosphere cozy, inviting, and perfect for date night.“

“great coffee!!! great vibes“

“Bricco Panetteria is a hidden gem nestled in Boston’s North End, renowned for its artisanal breads and pastries. Located at 11 Board Alley, just off Hanover Street, this bakery is tucked down a narrow alleyway and accessed via a staircase leading to a cozy, basement-level shop. Established by restaurateur Frank DePasquale, Bricco Panetteria was created to supply fresh bread to his local restaurants. The bakery offers a selection of handcrafted breads, including olive ciabatta, prosciutto and parmesan-stuffed ciabatta, miche (a rustic rye loaf), sunflower bread, and brioche. Their pastries, such as the sfogliatella—a flaky pastry filled with sweet ricotta and citrus—are also highly praised. Note that the bakery operates on a cash-only basis.

Adjacent to Bricco Panetteria is Bricco Salumeria & Pasta Shop, another establishment by Frank DePasquale. This Italian deli specializes in homemade pastas, sauces, and a variety of imported goods, including olive oils, vinegars, and cheeses. Notably, Bricco Salumeria is acclaimed for its Italian sausages, which are made in-house using traditional spices and methods. The shop also offers made-to-order sandwiches, allowing customers to enjoy their freshly prepared meats and cheeses on the spot.   

Both establishments are part of what locals refer to as “Bricco Alley,” offering an authentic Italian culinary experience away from the bustling main streets.

We just picked up some freshly sliced prosciutto here, and it was incredible—melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly aged, and full of rich flavor. You can taste the quality and craftsmanship in every bite.“
