    Can't wait to return! Our waiter was great, the food super delicious and we were even treated to a couple of short vocal performances (Ed Sheeran's tune!!!) during the meal. WIN WIN WIN!! The restaurant is quite small and the wait personnel well staffed. Tables are somewhat close together so not conducive to "private conversations" but the rest of the experience was top notch. The only off-putting aspect of the experience was being quizzed several times on the days leading up to our date whether we planned on honoring our reservation... AND emphasizing that the table would only be held for our arrival (with ALL guests in place) for a short time ... plus they enforced a strict 90-minute window for the table. (We were not offered dessert or even coffee. While we probably wouldn't have succumbed to dessert after such a terrific meal, a coffee(cappuccino? )would have been a lovely way to top off a terrific experience.) Just a word to the wise.

    Arrived a few minutes early seated right away everybody was polite and attentive. My server David was over and above expectations, He made sure every aspect of our dinner was at 10+! I would definitely recommend anyone to visit Strega North End. They will not be disappointed.

    Not sure how they have good ratings considering how they treat their customers. The food was good, but not good enough for the 50 minutes we waited to get seated past our reservation time. We arrived right on time, checked in, and were told it would be a few minutes. After multiple times checking in and getting told tables were almost done and that we would be seated soon, the manager or some guy in charge let in his group of friends without a reservation to cut us in line. The food was good and the waiter was very professional, I just don’t get how they are still in business with that service.

    We've eaten at Strega before and were never disappointed but things have changed. There're more interested in table turnover. The food was average, nothing that I would recommend. The wait staff were very efficient. We were in and out of there in 50 minutes, talk about fast turnover. No coffee or dessert were allowed to be ordered, don't serve it anymore. Told to go to a caffe.

    Food was fantastic. Loved the tableside pasta tossed in giant wheel of parm. We didn’t get seated until half an hour after our reservation, which was a problem for some members of our party. Staff was great. Four stars instead of five solely based on the wait. If I have a reservation waiting a few minutes past the designated time is ok. Half hour is a bit long.
