About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    hands down one of the best meals we’ve had recently! We started off with some espresso martinis from the bar and they were to die for! Both my husband and I couldn’t stop raving about how delicious our meals were- I had the gnocchi sorrentina and my husband had the mushroom raviolis. Everything here was wonderful from the staff to the food to the atmosphere. We will certainly be back!

    Vinoteca di Mónica is a true gem! The lobster ravioli was rich and flavorful, and the tajarin piselli was perfectly delicate and fresh. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, and the service was warm and attentive. A wonderful spot for authentic Italian cuisine—we’ll definitely be back!

    We booked at the last minute and maybe that is why we got the table at the back right by the waiters stand where dirty dishes were dropped off. It almost seemed there was a competition to see how much noise you could make putting dishes in there - certainly no attempt to be aware of nearby diners. The food was good. I did think 18 dollars for the shrimp appetizer with 4 shrimp was a lot, and it wasn’t the best Italian I have had recently, but we are in Boston. Our server was friendly and helpful. Overall not a bad experience, but not amazing either.

    There was not only no salt at all in any of these dishes, but there was no salt on the table to help with that. Tasteless food. The risotto was not risotto... it was wet rice.
