Bricco’s star has been rising steadily since restaurateur Frank DePasquale revamped the menu to feature modern interpretations of regional Italian dishes.

Bricco has garnished superlative reviews from food writers in Boston and around the country – Best Guaranteed Meal in the North End and Best Pasta in Boston just two of the most recent accolades.

The talented kitchen team creates “boutique” Italian food, so-called because it is unique, personal and created for a select and sophisticated diner. The food is complemented by an enoteca (wine bar) with an exceptional selection of all-Italian wines.

Bricco also offers a sophisticated late night scene. The chic and energetic bar serves up great one of a kind cocktails as well as brick oven pizza with gourmet toppings such as prosciutto and fresh mozzarella from Italy in addition with appetizer selections.

    This was sadly a miss for us. It was dark, loud, and cold. The food was good but sadly the ambiance detracted from our enjoyment of it. We were seated in their second bar/dining room.

    Bricco gives you great ambience (cool vibe in a warmly-lit setting) and a bustling, energetic atmosphere (not quiet and not romantic, but very enjoyable since that's my thing). Service is above average and super friendly and helpful. Now for the important parts- food and price/value. Food presentation and plating were what you would expect- clean and attractive The taste and temperature however are not what you might expect. Very good but not $82 and $52 worth (prices for entrees only). But why you ask? The $82 Surf and turf that my gf ordered arrived with a very very cold lobster. It was clearly fired too early. And my $52 Chilean Sea bass was very tasty but overcooked a wee bit and the accompanying bokchoy arrived cold...I mean cold. Sides of double mashed potato and asparagus were excellent. So would I recommend? Not yet. Would I go again? Yes, because this was only 1 visit and I would want to try other menu items to give Bricco a fair chance.

    Once again a fantastic evening at Bricco's. This restaurant never disappoints. The mussels were fantastic and the steak out of this world. The steak was cooked perfectly with a seasoned crust and an exact medium rare center. The wait staff were also extremely attentive. I would highly recommend Bricco's to anyone coming to Boston!

    All was okay. Not my best experience at Bricco sadly and I have dined there over 75+times. Each plate ordered, the food was over cooked; branzino special and bone in pork dry, spinach in special was all oil, brussel sprouts mushy. Salad was saturated with dressing. All very unusual for one of my favorite restaurants. Cab wine by the glass had turned.

    The food was without a shadow of a doubt delicious, you can tell right away the ingredients they use is what separates Bricco’s from other restaurants experience. My only complaint would be the portions but overall I had a wonderful experience… I will recommend and I will be back

    Sat us at a tiny table next to a loud drunk table of guys. Service was mediocre at best. Food was just ok and nothing to write home about. It has potential to be great but maybe we caught them on a bad night.

    We were looking forward to a Boston North End Italian experience. Despite having a reservation we were seated close to the door which made it quite cold. Tables were close together so the waiter was constantly bumping my chair when serving the table behind us. We ordered the Caesar salad which was OK (bibb lettuce instead of Romaine and the dressing was tasteless). For entrees, my daughter ordered pasta with meatballs. The tomato sauce tasted like it came out of a jar. I ordered the veal chop which was overcooked and also somewhat tasteless. The highlight was the angolotti that my wife ordered which was excellent. Drinks were good but expensive ($19 for a Martini). I would not recommend going there.

    Absolutely fabulous meal. Great service and super energy. It was a Birthday celebration and they even treated us to the YUMMY blueberry cheesecake. I don't normally pick cheesecake -- I love it but chocolate is always my go to - and this was amazing. Fresh and so tasty. I'll be back soon.

    It is the North End but prices seemed on the high end! $55 for rack of lamb with 4 lollipops, no sides seemed a bit steep, $18.50 for lobster mashed potatoes, that were served COLD was excessive and disappointing. I would recommend Bricco, only after sharing my opinion.
