About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Located in the heart of Boston's North End neighborhood, VINOTECA di MONICA serves Rustic Regional Italian cuisine and Wine Spectator’s Grand Award for one of the largest Selections of Italian wines in the city.

You no longer need to travel to Italy to experience the marriage between regional Italian food and wine. The menu focuses on the preservation of traditional regional dishes, with an unpretentious dedication to the true flavors that make regional Italian cuisine so popular.

The art of pasta and bread making are carried out daily, for your sampling, where the freshest ingredients is an everyday affair. VINOTECA di MONICA is the result of Monica’s Restaurant evolution and our passion for the Italian culture and the big role food and wine plays in its preservation.

    Came here for drinks and dinner . Sat in the bar area at one of the high tops. Food and service here were excellent.They actually called my cellphone immediately after dinner to let me know my wife’s jacket was left behind by mistake! This is the kind of restaurant that takes care of its guests.

    We had a nice spot at the high table by the bar tonight. We were helped by very friendly staff. And the food was pure and prepared with love. Bruchetta with scampi was a surprising alternative to the traditional version with tomato. The Aglio e Olio was finger-licking good. Chardonnay was too spicy for me, Barbera perfect. The chocolate cake without flour came with 3 spoons, but our youngest guest had finished the cake before we could taste a bite. The host had warned us that it was divinely delicious and not to share;) Had a wonderful evening, highly recommended.

    First impression at a restaurant especially an Italian restaurant…serve your bread warm. Bread was cold. Small portions all around. Lasagna was very good though. Other entrees we’ve had better at other restaurants. Too many other restaurants to go to.
