“Very appealing menu; a rare one where I wanted almost everything on it. And the food did not disappoint — wonderful combinations, like the chicken liver on toasts topped with green tomato jam, and pillowy ricotta-stuffed agnolotti with corn and mushrooms. Everything was exceptional.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Pazza is AMAZING! Great service and the food is incredible. Highly recommend!“

“Overall, this was a fun experience dining at Table! We did the 4 course menu, and it was a lot of food, so I cannot imagine doing the full dinner.

The atmosphere is what makes this restaurant special. The communal dining was unique and fun to try. It was fun to talk with strangers around you.

The food is good, but nothing wowed me. It is very good food, but it didn’t wow me like some other spots in North End have. Instead, come here and enjoy the experience. Sit down at the communal table, and just enjoy a nice 2 hours around new people!“

“Had a great dinner here and honestly don’t have anything to complain about. The food came out fresh and tasted excellent, the portions were good, and the service was friendly the whole time. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal and we left very happy.“

“We definitely had a great time at Little Sage, not only all the dishes/wine are solid but the service is superb. I recommend going earlier though. Our reservation was at 8:30 so quite a few popular dishes (octopus, gnocchi, shrimps) were all sold out. But whatever we ordered, they were really tasty and filling! I couldn't digest all the food I consumed till the next morning.“

“The best meal- great service- Beautiful atmosphere And warm friendly hostess“

“My husband and I had dinner last Sunday night. It was a beautiful experience with impeccable service. I am going to remember my quail dish for a very long time. Highly recommend“

“Stopped by here during a work trip and can 100% say I will be back! thank you guys for the amazing food and service!!“

“The quality and presentation of the food was top notch. We were incredibly impressed by the dining room layout and staff. If you are looking for a place to propose to your significant other… this is NOT the appropriate place. As I mentioned the food was the finest I’ve ever had; however, the music was terrible. We felt like we were in a 1990’s discotheque. The music was loud, very heavy beat and not remotely romantic. We did mention to our waitstaff and they attempted to get it turned down to no avail. No coffee or dessert available either. I understand space is limited; however you have two of the finest dessert businesses well within walking distance. Even if you only carry two desserts. I would still go back there for the food with the hopes of different music…even soft jazz would be acceptable.“

“Wow, wow, and wow again! What a treat that my dear friend and I happened upon this GEM! At first glance it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when you step inside it’s like entering a whole new world. It is elegant and beautiful, a fantastic combination of fine dining with an atmosphere like coming home. Such a quaint spot with the best quality Italian food I have ever had. Cristiano was the kindest server on the planet, so attentive, and so welcoming! As a worker in the food service industry, I was blown away! First off, drinks. To our surprise, Arancini has a BYOB policy (SO COOL! People had brought their own bottles of wine, which Cristiano offered to open and put on ice). Other than that, they offer your typical sodas, some juice, and a variety of sparkling and still water options. Let’s talk food. Right away, they bring fresh, warm, house-made bread, with fantastically seasoned dipping oil. Other than that, we started off with the Caesar salad and the friend mozzarella appetizer. The Caesar salad (despite it being just about the most basic thing that someone can order) was so well put together. It had just the right amount of dressing, and fresh grated, high quality parmesan cheese! The mozzarella app was quite possible the tastiest thing I have ever put in my mouth. Oh my god, it just about dissolved in my mouth. Imagine the best mozzarella sticks you’ve ever had in your life, but the cheese is so high quality and it is freshly battered and friend minutes before it is brought to your table. Never frozen - just made hot and fresh for you to eat. Don’t even get me started on the marinara sauce. Again, clearly house-made and so fresh. I could’ve had it as a soup! For a main meal I had the most delicious fettuccini Alfredo. The sauce was TO DIE FOR. The pasta was perfectly cooked (I didn’t know pasta could even taste like that ). I asked for chicken in the pasta and… oh. my. god. I have no words. I mean I can attempt to describe it but I won’t do it justice. Tender, JUICY, and you KNOW it’s authentic because the chicken was battered in egg. I was drooling before I took a single bite. I also added broccoli and it was SO PERFECT. The whole meal, it was just the best food I have ever had I swear. PLEASE give this place a shot! You’ll probably want a reservation because I don’t think there are more than 10 tables there! It’s small but mighty. Thank you Cristiano for making this experience incredible!“

“First time in the city and this was an amazing dinner for us. The food is delicious.“

“Amazing food and service with authentic Italian hospitality!“

“Great food and great service! I even got gluten free chicken parm and spaghetti which was excellent! They have a wonderful food and drink menu. Our server Jess was was excellent as well. The manager Nick greeted us when we came in and found us a great table by the window. So the bottom line is, this is a great restaurant and I'm so happy we found this little gem! We will be back!“

“Once again, another great experience. We will always come back. I'd love to know how the bartender makes the absolute best drinks. I cannot duplicate it, no matter how hard I try. And of course our entrees (veal chop, filet, salmon, and gnocci) were superb. And kudos to our waiter Tommy from NH, he arrived at the table at the most appropriate times.“

“Outstanding menu that changes seasonally and with specials. Service is superb! Especially Christina. We love to visit and eat here with goid friends. Never a bad meal. A plus! 10 stars! All quality food! Worth every penny. Love pans cota too!“

“My husband and I went to Il Ponte in Woburn for the first time tonight. Let’s just say it will not be the last. From the moment we walked in right up until we walked out the door it was an incredible experience. We both had cocktails: a Cabernet and falling for you and both were amazing. The bread/focaccia with garlic and oil was a fantastic start to the meal. We got the octopus and a bruschetta to start and they were flavorful and cooked perfectly. My husband had the braised short rib over saffron risotto and he said it was delicious and fork tender. He said the flavor was like nothing he’s ever had and the saffron risotto was incredible and cooked perfectly. I got the special which was a crusted swordfish with asparagus risotto and it was, hands down, the best swordfish I have ever eaten. It was crusted so lightly and the swordfish was cooked to perfection. The portion was so big that I took half home. We don’t usually order dessert but when the server said “pistachio gelato” they reeled me in. My husband got bomboloni and couldn’t stop making all the faces and sounds…it was to die for. Before we finished the owner was making rounds at the tables thanking everyone and making sure we enjoyed our meals. I would give Il Ponte a 20/10 rating. We will absolutely be back again. If you get the opportunity….do not sleep on Il Ponte.“

“Awesome food! Great service! Perfect restaurant. Vodka sauce is the best I've had. Eggplant parmigiana highly recommended. The meatballs were phenomenal as well.“

“Grilled Clams make it so worthwhile“

“We went there tonight. The food was delicious. The staff were amazing. We loved everything about this place. Thank you for a wonderful dinning experience. We will definitely be back.“

“An exceptional experience at Parla\! Cas provided some of, if not the BEST customer service I’ve EVER HAD\. Warm, genuine, incredibly attentive, what more could one ask for? Nothing\. Cas was able to successfully tend to all of the customers at the bar, while ensuring each customer’s needs were met\. Cas made sure we felt cared for and was very attentive without being overbearing\. The team truly listens to what each customer wants and goes above and beyond to create the best possible experience while serving responsibly. ALSO THE MUSIC IS PERFECT.

A special thank\-you to Gui, who we believe made a fantastic mini Paper Plane to complement the perfect cocktail\. Between the personalized service, friendly atmosphere, and genuine hospitality, this was a 11/10 experience from start to finish\. If you visit Parla, sit at the bar and ask for Cas—you’ll be in excellent hands.“

“Tresca was wonderful! We sat upstairs beside a window, which made for such a lovely atmosphere. I had Special #1—the chicken parmesan with vodka sauce and angel hair—and it was fabulous. We finished with the tiramisu, which was a solid 10/10. The waitstaff was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!“

“DELICIOUS food & wine, good service“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“Short rib and Gnocchi Fra Diavolo were home runs. The kids loved the meatballs. The breadsticks were a hit with the kids too. Out of town and would definitely travel to come back. Service was great too and the manager/owner was very welcoming.“

“Husband and I went to Maggiano's for the first time today. The food was fantastic and the portions are huge. Our waitress Marisa was very attentive and made sure we had everything we need during our meal here. Highly recommend and we can't wait to come back!“

“We were there relatively early on a Sunday night. Service was great. Had appetizers and the paella, which was unique and delicious. Also excellent not too sweet cannoli for dessert. Thanks to our server Becca and the rest of the wait staff for an enjoyable dinner.“

“Great place to have date night. Very nice“

“Amazing food and great customer service! Put this place on your To Go list in Boston!“
