This has been my go-to fancy restaurant for 5 years. I supported them during Covid when they offered take-out, brought family and friends for celebrations or simply dined at the bar mid-week. Lately it seems the service and food are lacking. Maybe it’s a sign of the times, but service is stretched thin verging on inattentive on a busy evening.Usually the appetizers are delicious but now they seem overdone. I usually love the arugula salad but it has been overdressed the past two visits and the Buffalo mozzarella was a huge portion. Now quantity compensates for quality.The mains were either overdone, oddly prepared (as in no flavor) or pasta buried in so much tomato sauce it was overpowering.The food didn’t justify a $500 bill for 4 people. I am hitting pause.
Amazing food, attentive staff and white linen tablecloths make for a wonderful experience. The tables are a little tight, and we got seated in a corner very close to two gentlemen when much of the establishment was empty, but the food definitely made up for it. My granddaughter had the seafood soup and I had the rigatoni, both of which were amazing.
Wonderful meal our first night in Boston. I had the rigatoni and my granddaughter had the seafood stew. Both incredibly flavorful and delicious. Staff were attentive and kind, moving us after a dumped water glass. Ambiance was perfect. Pricey but worth it.
Our party of four loved our food. We were very impressed with the Buffalo mozzarella and beef tartar appetizers. Our waiter (gentleman with a dapper grey beard, who also liked motorcycles - we are sorry we didn't get your name!) made wonderful suggestions for wine pairings for some of the dishes we ordered. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, and we really enjoyed chatting with him. Our party also enjoyed the veal porterhouse and tuna steak. Everything was super flavourful and the portions were generous. You won't be disappointed coming here!
One of the outstanding Italian restaurants in Boston's North End. Excellent pasta and seafood with creative options like zucchini flowers! Highly recommended.
Meatballs all the way. The ravioli and sauces that accompany every dish are unique. The pistachio sundae offered a unique set of flavors. Service was superb. Ambiance unique and the expresso martini was like having a dessert ahead of the actual one. The mango martini is a good choice as well.
My adult daughters and I go away for an overnight to Boston to celebrate their mom and my first wife's life. This was an amazing meal from start to finish, we had 4 appetizers for the 3 of us and then our dinners. I could hardly move when we were done. We had the beef tartare, roasted clams with sausage, mozz with prosciutto and octopus and squid roasted. We each had a dinner featuring homemade pasta. It was a PERFECT evening. Thank you!!
Really appreciated how hospitable the service was at Prezza; we made a last minute change to our reservation of 10 and they were easily able to accommodated. We ordered 10 different meals and all of us said we weren't that hungry - by the end of the meal we all had empty plates the food was so good! Awesome experience :)
Food underwhelming. Service was abysmal. Waiter was borderline hostile for no apparent reason. So much so that I found myself compensating by be overly overly nice. So strange. Multiple alternatives out there for great Italian.
Best Italian restaurant in the northend pf Boston! Veal chop marsala from the wood oven outstanding
