    this has become our North End go to. this most recent trip, I tried the fusilli special. It was incredible. We keep going back for the food and service. Table attendants are always oin the lookout to fill water glasses, clear plates, bring bread and parm and offer to go packaging. We have had Catino as our server before. He is familar with us, professional, suggestive and on point. I trust his recommendations and appreciate his hospitality.

    This was my first time at The Red Fox. Good luck finding it. The ambiance of this establishment was amazing. I had bar reservations. The bartender was friendly and made the best drinks on and off of the menu. The pistachio martini was delicious; the martini is offered with or without a scoop of pistachio Gelato. We asked the bartender to make a pretty tequila cocktail and she delivered. The lobster ravioli was so good in the butter sauce. I'm not a fan of risotto, however this was best risotto I've had in a long time. I will definitely return to The Red Fox!
