    The food here is absolutely delicious. Had the veal piccata and Arancini. Pasta was fresh and sauce was one of the best I’ve had. Five stars, definitely recommend.

    Amazing food and service. The restaurant was a little loud - but mostly that was because how popular it is. Owner popped by - and asked us about the meal. We couldn't say enough about how great it was - we'll be back!

    Thank you! For the record, we have sound dampening panels in all of the dining areas.

    We had a wonderful anniversary dinner! We had the meatballs, pizza and gnocchi and loved them all. Doughnut holes to end the night.

    The chef came out to our table twice. Once to verify our order and once to check on our food. A nice touch.

    Chef Rich and the staff are top notch. 6 different dishes, including one off menu, all prepared to perfection. Very warm and inviting atmosphere, Tresca has NEVER disappointed. Had both local and first time USA visitors and we were all very happy (meaning well fed)!

    Beautiful restaurant and the tables are spaced wide enough to walk between them, which is rare in many of these tiny north end restaurants.

    Love everything about this place; currently our favorite N.End restaurant. The bread and oil are excellent, the beet and burrata salad was delicious and both of our entrees were great. My wife had the bolognese (which was dense with the meat mixture) and I had the chicken piccata (which had a thicker lemon butter sauce than most places prepare which made it stick to the pasta wonderfully). Highly recommend
