    Again, great experience food was amazing again. Service was outstanding. Came with my daughter and son in law with 2 seven year olds and a 2 year old. They were treated amazingly. Owner came over and talk to us ( he does every time we have been there) he personally asked if he could take the children’s orders and get their food out to keep them occupied. Server and all staff are well trained and very professional and friendly. This is our to go to restaurant when we are in Boston. Thanks again for another enjoyable evening

    We had a fantastic meal beyond bursting with flavor. We enjoyed the conversation and recommendations of Chef Rich. He made our dinner and all those in the dining room a memorable experience .This is not my first time a Tresca and definitely will not be my last.

    The welcoming staff was NOT welcoming. They couldn’t care less about answering any questions. Our server Fernando was excellent. The food was very good and the price was suitable for the place. The drinks were great as well.

    This is typically one of my favorite spots. Always a great place for date night or when company comes to town. The food is usually fantastic. This past visit it was not great. I think it was an off night and will return.

    Thank you. Did you let anybody including the Chef know at the restaurant that you weren't happy with your meal? We are sorry if everything wasn't to your satisfaction.

    Excellent restaurant, a standout in the North End both for food and service. The owner/head chef is personally available to the customers and his commitment to excellence comes through in the food. Authentic Italian food at reasonable prices for Boston.
