Tresca

Lovely atmosphere; we were there after dark, nice dim lighting. Food delicious (chicken piccata, seafood linguini, veal parm, lobster ravioli). The ravioli was one of my best meals during our few days. The noodles that came with veal/chicken were weird & too dense/gummy. A veggie would’ve been better. Quite pricey as everything in North End. Have to be in that vaca spending mindset.

I was brought here on my birthday with high expectations for an elegant experience, and I wasn't disappointed. The service was exceptional, and the menu both in terms of variety and portion size was truly impressive. We began with Anna Maria's Famous Stuffed Meatballs, which turned out to be among the finest I've ever had in Boston's North End. For my main course, I chose the Filetto - a perfectly grilled filet mignon accompanied by roasted baby Yukon potatoes, seasonal vegetables, a rich demi-glace sauce, and a delectable lobster-stuffed mushroom. It was a classic dish that truly exemplified the caliber of this restaurant. The lobster-infused mushroom was a delightful surprise, introducing a unique twist I hadn't considered before. Equally outstanding was the Rigatoni Affumicata, which held its own among the other exquisite dishes. My entire experience was thoroughly enjoyable with an amicable ambiance. I'm already looking forward to returning, especially during hockey season when I might catch a glimpse of some players or even Ray Bourque himself.

Excellent souper avec un service hors-pair!! Tout était au delà de nos attentes. Service/qualité/ambiance. Visite du maître d’hôtel et du propriétaire à notre table pour s’assurer que tout était à notre convenance. Nous reviendrons assurément à notre prochaine visite à Boston.

.. Still can't adequately describe the overpriced, underwhelming "special" offered to us on Washington's B-day weekend .. what a disappointment .. Attention North End restauranteurs: offering sketchy cuisine to the casual diner or tourist crowd is not good for business .. not sure if it was the $7 - 8 oz. ginger ale or the $49 pile of mashed potatoes with bits of charred vegetables surrounding a hollowed out veal bone on top .. I'm sure that fare would appeal to someone .. maybe more marsala sauce would have helped .. if I had a straw .. Nonetheless, I certainly cannot envision recommending Tresca to anyone ..

Out of all the places in the North End, Tresca has been on my must try list for years. Never really had an occasion to go until yesterday for a date or a game. But it went extremely well. Very spacious and intimate on the inside—I love that it's 2 floors and has a touch of classic architecture like the doors. Then the food was . I tried the chicken Parm egg rolls and gnocchi, while my date got the carbonara, and we we both impressed. So impressed, I forgot to take pictures . The food was super hot upon arriving. It did take awhile to come since it was dinner in the North End on a weekend, but the servers constantly checked in and on 3 different occasions asked if we wanted fresh Parmesan cheese. Not too pricey either. I'd definitely go back. And is now my top North End spot. Would love to do Table 77 one day!

The food was extremely delicious. Our entrees were osso buco and seafood alfredo. The osso buco was to die for. The meat was very tender and savory. The alfredo was also great. The appetizers were tasty too. Overall, highly recommended place!

Accidental discovery after another Italian restaurant turned us away as we had no reservation. Staff was friendly, we were checked on by more than one manager (including the chef/owner) to make sure our experience was pleasant, food was delicious and perfect serving size, will return next time we are in Boston.
