About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    We went there for my birthday. I had the famous espresso martini. It was very good but I did think it was made in big batches that they had made. I thought they would use fresh espresso as other places have done. I had the grilled octopus which was really the best I’ve ever had. I then followed with pasta with lobster. It was very good but the pasta was a bit hard and portion was small. The waiter first refused to serve a drink to my son’s girlfriend because her ID was in the jacket she wore earlier that was at hotel. Then he brought my son the wrong drink. He told us to keep while he got the right one we then saw it was a charge on our bill after he told us not to worry. The noise level was very loud and it was hard to talk

    The customer experience was awful, starting with the hostess - really passive aggressive. We arrived 10 minutes before, we went to let them know we arrived just in case not wanting to lose the reservation -not asking to be seated - and the hostess said we had to wait until the hour outside and not nicely. I asked where the restroom was and she rolled her eyes. We don’t drink alcohol, so we ordered water and after that the service declined. We had to ask for the specials and the bread among other things.
