Food, service, and value were wry good- Ambiance was a bit more modern and less quaint then other place in North End but still very nice

Absolutely delicious! The best food in the North End.

It was excellent, we sat outside and the weather could not have been better.

Everything was perfect!!

We had a group birthday brunch here and had a great experience. Highly recommend!

Excellent food and service. Noise can be high but was okay as they had the sidewalk windows open.

Vinoteca di Monica one of my favorites for 20 years. However...bad experience last night that I hope never happens to you!! Had the meatballs and Pasta with black truffles to start. Always good. Then the chicken parm. It was tiny...but we didn't say anything. Chicken itself was chalky and rubbery. Either overcooked or too much muscle fiber. We tried but had to spit it out. We asked the waiter for something else. He had to escalate two levels to the Bartender Neil who was in charge because they were very thin on waiters and no manager was in last night. He refused stating that we had eaten it. We couldn't believe it. It wasn't like we were asking for our money, just something else. Our waiter said there was nothing he could do. He had only been in the job for 1 month and said he feared retribution if he said anything further. How insulting! I have recommended dozens of friends to dine there. They just didn't care. I wouldn't expect this from a sub shop let alone this fine establishment. Meal was still $200 with wine....but that was not the issue. Very disheartened as was the person I took there to celebrate her new job.

Always an amazing meal at Monica’s! Thank you for yet another memorable evening.

Great service but very disappointing food! Not accommodating to vegetarians. It was exciting to see what appeared to be a large vegetarian selection. However, fried food was made with the same oil as meat and fish. They would not make it separately in an uncontaminated pan.

The food was exceptional as was the service provided by Pedro. His attentiveness and attention to detail made the experience special.

Perfect location for an outside dinner. Being a block off of busy Hanover St. was perfect. Everything was delicious, especially the artichoke antipasti. Our server was fantastic. Very attentive, personable and easy going!

This was a very nice family owned business. They were not busy bc we got reservations at 3p on a Sunday. Perfect amount of people. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was good and came out hot. The location reminded us of being in a street in Italy. We would go back if we were grom the neighborhood.

Absolutely love this place! We’ve eaten here a number of times and are never dissapointed. The service is pleasant and attentive. The menu interesting and well executed.
Love their brunch, craft cocktails, consistency. Great spot.

We have been here a few times, and it’s just so amazing every single time. The service is awesome, the food is fantastic, and the vibe is great!

Went for drinks and some of our party got food. Great service even knowing they were very busy. Food was excellent and will definitely be going back for dinner.

Food was delicious and our waiter very attentive for a busy Saturday night. It was a little tight with seating inside but overall very enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent food, very helpful and attentive waiter

Incredible meal with even better service. Our table was right next to the open windows facing the street and we felt like we were in Italy. Truly the heart of the north end.

The restaurant was good. Overall, a wonderful menu and good service. I was surprised that it was bit empty for being a SAT lunchtime, but most restaurants in the area were as well.

Awesome food but very loud. We sat by the kitchen and overheard some choice comments from the staff. They really hustle, so maybe understandable frustration, but we did not need to hear it.

Delicious food, great vibe. Service was good. Loved the Zuppe De Pesce

The pasta was outstanding; the mushroom ravioli was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. We sat at a table inside right by an open window which was perfect.

Louis, our server, was exceptional! Very fine place!

Fantastic service. My food was okay and my companion’s was great.

Fantastic as always. Great service and great food. Love the Tajarin.

I always have a great experience here! Friendly waitstaff and the service is on point!

When my husband and I don’t feel like cooking, we know Vinoteca has us cover. Love seating at the bar where we can still watch our sports. Started with a out of this world mushroom bruschetta, Veal Chop cooked to perfection for dinner and of course bread pudding to end it. Thank you again Vinoteca.

Fantastic food. Outstanding service

Went for brunch. Full menu was available. Great for outdoor seating and taking in the beauty of the North End.

We absolutely enjoyed our Dinner at Vinoteca di Monica. The food and service were both wonderful!

Luis gave great recommendations and service. We loved everything he suggested. The food was great! A definite must return!

Unbelievable!!

I’ve been to Monica’s many times but was very disappointed with a recent visit. The fettuccine Alfredo and chicken had no flavor, the meatball appetizers were dry and hard and the fried calamari was so heavily breaded and deep fried you could barely taste the calamari. The best thing we ordered was actually the bread under the meatball appetizer. We did not get offered any bread to start. When we got the bill there were items on there that we didn’t order. Hopefully it was just a bad experience.

FANTASTIC! Homemade pasta-to die for!! Excellent service, never rushed, wonderful wine lovely limon salad of Bibb lettuce. Beef ravioli & chicken with rigatoni & broccoli. All simply amazing!!

Just great. Perfect table and food

The place is nice and the ambiance cool. Food wise only the pasta is good. Risotto we had looks more like paella with a lot of lobster I have to say, that was the good part. Service not that good and price wise a little bit expensive vs the food. Wine selection very good.

We had a very lovely out door meal. The meals were booked to perfection complimented by a reasonably priced and tasty Super Tuscan wine. Special thanks to Alex for his thoughtfulness and great service!

The food is excellent and the service is as well. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Pretty restaurant! Good service, nice portions. Italian bread was freshly baked and served with white bean dip. Pomegranate Bellini was spot on. We loved the fried calamari and veal parm. Lobster ravioli had good flavor, but the sauce was a bit runny. Sautéed asparagus was okay. Request a window table to people-watch during your meal. We would visit again; one of the nicest restaurants in the North End!

We love Vinoteca Monica's brunch and it was great to be back after a year and a half due to COVID. The Colezione alla Romana (also known as Spaghetti Carbonara) is amazing. No matter how hard we try, we cannot get even close when we make it at home. The Fried eggs on rustic toast with Prosciutto was was the other dish that we ordered. It is different from most breakfast options you get at brunch, a rustic Italian version of bacon and eggs, and well worth getting. We split the two dishes and had a lovely time. We enjoy dinners there too, a few outdoors the past couple years and their take-out seafood pasta dishes also travel very well. An all-around wonderful restaurant.

The food was exceptional. Fresh pasta was perfect. Out of my week of dining out in Boston -half the time being in the North end- this was hands down the best food.
