Their pastries and gelato are the best. I don't drink coffee, but my family liked the coffees here. My grandfather is Italian, and when we visited with him on another occasion, he loved the espresso. He especially liked the poster showing its origin as "for the express train", since it proved his stories right. It's a very nice spot for a treat with friends or family.
During a recent trip to Boston we stopped in for a Capuccino during the day and enjoyed it so much, we went back for a gelato after dinner that night. Both times were tasty and the atmosphere was electric. Most importantly, I had dropped my wallet there and they kept it for me. One of the servers, EVER, sent it back to me in Philly! He was very kind to take it to the post office and even sent me the tracking info!
We found Vittoria while walking through the North End. Authentic cafe experience. Coffees were perfectly prepared and the desserts were divine. Friendly staff that dealt with the large crowd well. Reminder it is cash only.
Great little spot for some coffee and a cannoli. We stopped through while on a walking tour of Boston. Great atmosphere, lots of history. Caffe Vittoria doesn't seem the receive as much fanfare as Mike's Pastry, which in my opinion is nice because the cannoli at Vittoria were perfect, on par with any in Sicily, and you don't have to wait in a long line. As with many small shops in the North End of Boston you should expect to pay in cash.
I LOVE REUNITING WITH FRIENDS. BEA. LOVE YOU. I LOVE TO SEE YOU SAFE, WITH FRIENDS, AND I BOTHERED. AS U SHOULD BE!!APRIL, CAKE! KEEP PACKIN'!It's an awesome place for reunions, first dates, late night shenanigans. BRING CASH!
The chocolate almond gelato had a rich chocolate flavor and lots of almond pieces. The cookies and cream was too sweet, though it was very creamy. Seemed like it was a place for the community to gather and chat, but it didn’t feel very welcoming as an outsider.
We stopped in to get out of the cold and grab some caffeine after an afternoon of shopping. Our small group had cappuccinos and sfogliatella. Service was a bit slow, but we understand it was very busy. Be aware that it is cash-only, tables are very close to each other, and the staff wear their masks under their chins (and do not respect personal boundaries, even after we asked nicely that they keep a little bit of distance). There is no excuse for being rude to customers and I'm sure there are other cafes with good cappuccinos in the area. (visited 11/7/15 and 12/31/21)
This place was such a vibe. The whole place was packed with groups of people and the ambiance was super loud. We had to seat ourselves and wait for a waiter to approach us to take our order. For me this place wasn’t much for the desserts or drinks they offered but the ambiance, although their desserts are pretty great too. We had so much fun just sitting there and being as loud without getting eyed by people and enjoying our treats. I loved the tiramisu, cotton candy gelato, and the cannoli. Only downside is that you’ll probably have to wait forever to get your order taken and getting served. We went on a Monday night and it was full to the point that people were waiting outside in the line to get in.
This cafe was one of the highlights of our trip. Delicious coffees and desserts with cute vintage decor. We especially enjoyed the cappuccino and tiramisu.They only accept cash, so make sure you bring enough to buy different desserts! ;)
Ordered cappuccino, nutty Irish, tiramisu, and cannoli.They were all good but nothing special to be honest. Tried cannoli for the first time and was left with good impression.The place has a nice cozy atmosphere with Xmas decorations throughout.They were busy at 9 pm on a weekday night so it took them a while to get our order and bring our food.Cash only.
