The food was fabulous! Their famous Squid ink pasta and fruitti di mare were both outstanding. Wonderful Italian wines by the glass, too. We opted to sit at the bar in lieu of our reservation for a table and are happy we did. Service was great and the bartender recommended her favorites for both the food and beverages menus. We will definitely return when we go back to Boston!

LaSumma is a small restaurant in the North End with the most wonderful food, service ambiance. Me and my family eat there quite often. You won't be disappointed with anything on the menu that you try. We love the homemade raviolis that they offer as an appetizer, and order them every time we are there. This is my favorite restaurant in the North End!
