About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Located in the heart of Boston's North End neighborhood, VINOTECA di MONICA serves Rustic Regional Italian cuisine and Wine Spectator’s Grand Award for one of the largest Selections of Italian wines in the city.

You no longer need to travel to Italy to experience the marriage between regional Italian food and wine. The menu focuses on the preservation of traditional regional dishes, with an unpretentious dedication to the true flavors that make regional Italian cuisine so popular.

The art of pasta and bread making are carried out daily, for your sampling, where the freshest ingredients is an everyday affair. VINOTECA di MONICA is the result of Monica’s Restaurant evolution and our passion for the Italian culture and the big role food and wine plays in its preservation.

    Our dinning experience at Vinoteca di Monica was nothing short of perfection. Their lobster ravioli (Ravioloni di Aragosta) was by far the best I’ve ever had, and the service was prompt and delightful.

    Made a last-minute reservation, but had to wait 30 minutes past the reservation time before we were seated. Food was good, not great. Very noisy when all of the tables were full, quieted as it emptied.

    Always a great place to dine and were we not regulars we would never have noticed the dip in service, which appeared to be down to the fact that the restaurant seemed under staffed. Our server was fantastic considering.

    Loved this restaurant! Something for everyone (even our 10 and 11 year olds) and reasonably priced. Seafood risotto was on point!

    It is always a pleasre to return to Vinotecca di Monica. It is particularly pleasing that it is so spacious, comfortable, and soothing. The staff is always welcoming, and the service is always pleasant and attentive. And of coure, the food is just outstanding, particularly all of their fresh made pasta. Definitely a place to return to again and again.
