Arya is a lovely restaurant. It’s an authentic North End experience. My girlfriend was visiting Boston for the first time. Massimo, the owner, came over and said, “welcome to my home.” He made us feel so welcome. The food is excellent as you’d expect. The fine selection was impressive. I’d go back every time I’m in Boston.
