Amazing staff! Delicious food. One of my favorite restaurants in the North End.
We love coming here as it is one of the best spots in the north end. The black truffle gnocchi is excellent, the espresso martinis are fantastic and the service is always the best.
Very good experience, great for a date, romantic ambiance.
I am never disappointed with the service and quality at Tresca. It’s one of our favorite date night restaurants!
Amazing as always. Thank you tresca!
Thank you!
Our meal at Tresca was by far and away the BEST meal we have had in a long long time! We were greeted by my Friend.. Chef.. And Owner of Tresca Rich Ansara.. He sat at our table and gave us Great Recommendations.. We started with Trescas Famous Meatballs which were Perfect and then had some Mushrooms stuffed with Lobster which were exquisite... I had the Veal Chop Milanese which was pounded thin and covered with Arugula and had a side of Bolognese! It was the Best I've ever had even surpassing the ones I used to have at the Famous IL Mulino in NYC! Magnificent.. My Girlfriend had Swordfish Puttanesca which was just Incredible! Chef Rich came by a number of times to ensure everything was Perfect... Our waiter Fernando was incredibly Attentive and Very Accomodating... Bottom Line... A wonderful Experience and if you haven't been to Tresca you owe it to yourself to visit SOON!
We sincerely appreciate your kind and thoughtful review. Everything described here is what we strive for. Thanks for your support and we look forward to your next visit!
I have been to Tresca on many occasions and have had delicious meals! Although I think it is overpriced for what you get, I find that I always enjoy my experience. However, I have a big safety concern in regards to Covid 19 precautions. The manager kindly came over to our table to check on how our experience was WITH HIS MASK BELOW HIS NOSE as he stood not even one foot away from us. We truly couldn’t believe it. In addition, no one was spread out or separated upstairs and there were no barriers. Super concerning experience that would make me not want to go back because of the lack of concern for customers
Great as always! Love bringing new friends in; they're always impressed by the food and service!
Thank you!
The food was incredibly and the staff was incredibly friendly!! Rich, the owner and chef, took the time to say hello and talk with my daughter about her upcoming birthday. He even gave her a jar of sauce and a special dessert as a treat! Our waiter Filipe was great and everyone made us feel right at home. Covid precautions were adhered to and we felt perfectly safe. We can’t wait to go back!
Thank you for your kind comments and glad you enjoyed the dinner at Tresca. Enjoy the sauce!
Chef Rich is great... his meatballs are amazing, the service the food everything was great
Thank you
What can I say that hasn't already been said about Tresca? It's my favorite restaurant in the North End, and I'm not being critical of other places(they are fabulous too). This place just stands out. The veal chop special was outstanding. I've never seen a piece of veal like that in my entire life. Pounded thin, prepared parmigiano style. Incredible. The beef carpaccio simply is a plate derived from the Gods. The burrata was also an excellent appetizer. Creamy, rich, decadent, divine. The service was impeccable. A nice touch was co-owner, Rich came out to the table to see how everything was. Keep up the good work, Tresca!!!!
We really appreciate your thoughtful review and comments. Thank you and hope that you can return in the near future.
Amazing food service and ambiance. Everyone was so nice and it’s the best red & white sauce I’ve ever had
Thank you!
Food was lovely yet very expensive. Service was very good.

Thank you Rich and Ray for your Hospitality .. my Family and I had a wonderful "special" night out and absolutely delicious dinner :)

We thank you and appreciate your kind comments and review!
Delicious and a treat
Thank you!
Perfect for a pre-Christmas dinner. Everything was as expected.
This was our third visit to Tresca...Each time we have brought different people and each group did nothing but rave after dinner and the next day to other friends and family. We love it there and can't wait to go back, thinking for valentine's...
The food is excellent. The service and overall hospitality is tremendous
we got the veal Milanese with the bone in, it was great! The chicken piccata with zucchini noodles was amazing too. Their meatballs are to die for - they are stuffed with a cheese center! great wines as well
We're glad you came in and got to experience Tresca. Thanks for the kind words and we hope to see you again soon.
Always my “go to” and favorite place in North End

We have been many times and are trying to support all of our favorites: Many have somewhat lowered their quality but not Tresca, both times during COVID have been as if it wasn't happening!!
Nice to hear this! Thank you!

Thank you!
We had a wonderful dinner Saturday night at Tresca. My husband had the veal Parmigiana and I had the Vegan/vegetarian ravioli with zucchini noodles. I am not Vegan or vegetarian but this dish was delicious. We enjoyed the bread pudding for dessert, something we would not usually order but it was so good. Our waiter Fernando was very attentive and prompt. The chef Rich came out to greet each table to see how we were liking the food. Overall a very good experience and will return soon.
Such a great review! We look forward to your next trip in!
As always, the food was absolutely delicious. Always a lovely time.
Thank you!
The experience was perfect and the food was delicious. Tresca’s never disappoints.
Thank you!
As always, the food, service and ambiance at Tresca was spectacular. They had two specials that we tried and absolutely loved: a braised beef dish and the pumpkin risotto dish that is staple there this time of the year. Richard does a phenomenal job making an incredible meal while always coming out to say hello and entertain his patrons. It’s always a special extra when Ray is there but we missed him the other night as he was there the night before. I highly recommend stopping in for dinner and you will be very happy you did!!
Thanks so much for your king comments! Sorry you missed Ray but glad you enjoyed our specials!
Amazing experience! The staff is what make this place incredibly enjoyable- of course the food is fantastic. A big thank you to all the folks running this business. We will be back.
We really appreciate your comments and excellent review!
Went there for our first dinner as a married couple. Got the meatballs and nachos for apps, and chicken parm for dinner with a nice moscato. One of the best meals we have ever had, and our server was excellent!
Thank you and congratulations!
