One of THE BEST restaurants I’ve been to. I’m new-ish to the area, but my man and I go to “all” the places around….this was a Holiday lunch w my mom, so a whole new vibe w mom, of course! We couldn’t have had a better meal, timing (properly spaced meals), cocktails, coffee and dessert(we almost never get dessert!). Everything was PERFECT. Yulia, our server was kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and on point!!!! My mom and I have already planned our trip back!

Always love going to this place! Many of my friends have become regulars here - the people are great! And when I come back home (Boston) for the holidays or a parents birthday we try to come here. Whether you’re looking to catch up with friends or family or if you’re looking to grab a great dinner before a Celtics (they have both light and dark espresso martinis) - The Catch is a great choice!

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!
