   Incredible evening with amazing food and the best service! Carpaccio and Burrata were great appetizers. Gnocchi, Papperdelle, and Lobster Pillows for the main course. Pasta was made in-house and so fresh. Halibut was the fresh catch with a light white wine sauce garnished with cherry tomatoes. For dessert, cannolis, and mixed berries. The grand finale was, limoncello, and white sambuca.

   Grilled octopus: Excellent - slightly small serving; Calamari: A little over fried, only 1 shrimp and 5 scallops, good size portion but mostly calamari, not recommended, Pappardelle: Excellent, Spaghetti Vongole: Very Good, slightly small as a main dish, Manila clams were good and not sandy but preference for the price would be local little necks, pasta was very tasty and cooked perfectly- recommended, Wine: Recommend the Montepulciano and Montalcino reds, excellent, Overall: a good meal, nice atmosphere and friendly service

   Pretty and quaint spot in the North End. Waitstaff is attentive. Menu has many options.we got the short rib meal and for a woman the amount of food was perfect but not enough for a young guy. We needed to ask for more bread for the table. Chicken parm was delicious. Sauce could have tasted more authentic.

    This is an exceptional restaurant. We dine there every Friday night and have never been disappointed. All Depasquale Venture restaurants are excellent. This restaurant is exceptional because of the manager- Giovanni. He is in a class by himself, watches all and makes sure that all is in perfect order. When abroad we dine with Michelin restaurants and Giovanni is as good as they get. The staff- Alan, Jesus, and Elias are excellent too. Food is fantastic. Highly recommend it.

    New Year’s Eve dinner was excellent! From the octopus appetizer to the lobster ravioli to the delicious fish dish, orata, and key lime pie. Add an Aperol spritz and the excellent service provided by our server Alan from Brazil and you have a super enjoyable evening in the North End of Boston. We will be back!

    Overall a great experience for the tastebuds. The hostess was really friendly and enthusiastic. Our waiter was really kind and attentive. The oysters were so fresh! I could eat dozens! I loved the mignonette and horseradish to go with them. Tuna crudo was just ok. Grilled octopus was tender and tasty. Cacio e pepe arancini could use a bit more cheese/seasoning. We got several risotto/pasta dishes that were well executed. The gnocchi was the best I’ve had in the north end. The lobster pillows were a bit too salty in my opinion. The vongole could use a bit of acidity and more garlic. The seafood risotto was perfection. We share a table side tiramisu and key lime pie. The smell of the espresso was captivating even if you’re feeling too full for dessert. Best key lime pie I’ve had. The crust was thick and crunchy. The pie filling was sweet and tart and goes very well with the crust. We left with very happy bellies. 10/10 recommended.

    The crown jewel of DePasquale Ventures! Ambiance second to none, fantastic and diverse menu and when it’s put in front of you it is truly a work of art. The staff are the best in the North End - from when you walk in to support to your lead waiter they courteous, knowledgeable and professional. If you are seeking a truly memorable experience this is the place to go in the North End - and I been visiting for 8 years and have lived here for last 2 years now! Enjoy!

    We had a great Christmas Eve dinner last night! The food was amazing, our waiter was so kind and funny. He was from El Salvador and spoke Spanish with my husband who’s Cuban. Everything was great until we started to leave and two people at the front desk made a joke in Spanish at our expense not realizing we speak the language…awkward. It didn’t ruin the night though, we laughed about it on the way home. Feliz Navidad!

    The food at Aqua Pazza is above average for the North End and the price point is as expected for the high quality of food and drink. Our server, Jesus, recommended a fantastic seafood pasta dish off the menu that was the best I’ve had in a long time. We will certainly be back!

    Food was very good. Fresh and well prepared. The seafood tower was excellent. Staff was great. Responsive and helpful. Space was nice and had a cool vibe. A little tight. Except a few tables you will likely meet your neighbors. Ours were great so it was fine. However some might not love that. Overall very good

    AP is a quaint, off Hanover street option in the NE. They have a raw bar (awesome) and the oysters were excellent as was the octopus. Lobster ravioli's were delicious albeit the portion size was small. Overall, it's a great spot and I'd go back.
