Born out of our love of fine wines and traditional food, Ristorante Saraceno Italian/Napoletana style cuisine has become the premiere location for fine dining in Boston’s Historic North End. After traveling the Italian regions and sampling different cuisines, we decided to make our way back home and bring Napoli’s best to Boston. Our biggest challenge was finding the right, high-quality ingredients for the dishes we wanted to serve. We are dedicated to offering only the finest and freshest foods. We have also taken great care in assembling a team of only the best chefs and experienced kitchen and dining staff. Come and taste the experience yourself.

    The restaurant was packed! What we didn’t realize was that there was an entire basement with additional seating. The layout was interesting but we enjoyed the authentic vibe. This is where the sweet host seated us. The entire staff was attentive and friendly, quick to deliver water and bread. The food was good and we enjoyed the dining experience. Ordered lasagna, gamberi scampi and fettuccine alfredo.

    Great food! Less intimate than I thought, although the restaurant gave me a cozy, personal feeling which I enjoyed! Service was good and the food was absolutely phenomenal.

    Great service and food! A true North End gem. This was our fifth time dining here and will definitely be back. Good accommodations for large parties of 6-9 guests.
