Best Historic Restaurants in North End

My girlfriends and I went to celebrate a birthday and received a complimentary limoncello shot and strawberry gelato! It was the perfect spot to celebrate! So fun and adorable!

If you love history and seafood, this is your spot. Reasonably priced, delicious food in a historical setting. It obviously attracts a lot of tourists, but the staff did not seem annoyed and were helpful and friendly with suggestions pertaining to the menu and to also local places to visit. Would def come back!

The entire small staff was superb. Friendly, accommodating, and just lovely people. The food was outstanding especially anything with a red sauce. We had our three young adult sons and our young daughter with us. I actually felt the meal was reasonably priced and not a city gouge fest. My favorite North End dining experience that I can recall.

As on previous visits Mare was great.. We started with fresh oysters. We had the waiter pick for us and he did an excellent job. My wife the pasta with mushrooms which she loved. I had the sword fish which was cooked perfectly, nice and moist. We shared an affogato for dessert, one of our favorites. Our server was pleasant, helpful and efficient. The evening was perfect.

This was our first time eating at this restaurant and we very much enjoyed our meal. The service was excellent, the food was great and the ambiance was nice. The only downside was we were seated downstairs in a far dining room and I had my 80yr. old mother with me. There was seating upstairs but they sat us downstairs and the stairs were very difficult for her. If you have someone who can't walk well you should request to sit upstairs. Other than this, it was excellent.
