    We've been sleeping on this restaurant - we walk by it almost every day and somehow have never been in. Finally popped in last night for date night and it was incredible! Food was spectacular, service was solid, vibe was great. Definitely recommend!

    Excellent food and amazing service. This was my first time in Boston and went to Strega North End on the recommendation of a friend. It will always be a go-to place whenever I'm in Boston. You won't be disappointed.

    What a charming, lovely escape in the middle of the city! Lovely decor but comfortable and casual at the same time. My teenager was afraid it would be dressy and stuffy, but not at all! Reasonable price for a very nice selection of tasty savories and sweets. Love that tip is included to support equal wages -!! I'm sure we'll be back.
