    This restaurant is a must try. Minutes away from the center of the North End, The Red Fox was the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday. Delicious cocktails and great staff. We will be coming back!

    Amazing experience in all the ways. Cocktails, wine recommendation and food were all amazing. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were top notch and friendly. We’ll definitely be back.

    The food and service were excellent. We especially loved the zeppole/prosciutto appetizer. Great drink menu. The ambience seemed to be cool but it was hard to tell since it was so dark. It was so dark, even in the bathroom, that I had trouble seeing anything, let alone the menu, even with glasses on. Very expensive for Italian food.

    The food & service were good, not great. The pasta itself was good, but the sauces were all overdone. The red sauce was over-salted. The brown butter sauce was over-buttered. The lasagna was over-bechameled. The chicken parm was very well executed, though, and had an excellent crust.
