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.

    It was okay. Not the quality I would expect from North End italian. Our waitress was nice, but the food runner was not the most pleasant—they messed up our salad order and he was rude when asked to remake it correctly (expensive salad with lobster!)

    Food was delicious. Very good portions. Wait staff was very nice but service a tad slow given it was a weeknight. I would go back!

    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.

    Had a challenging table in the corner near the kitchen. Waiter was great, but slow. Perhaps too many tables. Brought each drink for a party of four one at a time.
