Bricco’s star has been rising steadily since restaurateur Frank DePasquale revamped the menu to feature modern interpretations of regional Italian dishes.

Bricco has garnished superlative reviews from food writers in Boston and around the country – Best Guaranteed Meal in the North End and Best Pasta in Boston just two of the most recent accolades.

The talented kitchen team creates “boutique” Italian food, so-called because it is unique, personal and created for a select and sophisticated diner. The food is complemented by an enoteca (wine bar) with an exceptional selection of all-Italian wines.

Bricco also offers a sophisticated late night scene. The chic and energetic bar serves up great one of a kind cocktails as well as brick oven pizza with gourmet toppings such as prosciutto and fresh mozzarella from Italy in addition with appetizer selections.

The waitstaff was efficient and personable. The menu offered something for everyone’s taste. If you’re looking for heavy, predictable tomato sauce dishes, keep on walking. My husband’s clams and branzino were fresh and tasty. My pasta w/lobster and truffle was sophisticated and subtle but vibrant. Whoever came up with the deconstructed tiramisu was creatively playful and it was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Not gooey and overly sweetened layers, but each ingredient getting a chance to shine. We live in western MA., and generally don’t get cooking like this, so it was a treat for us. We enjoyed our dinner and highly recommend Bricco.

Would recommend Bricco to anyone visiting Boston and looking to enjoy a great Italian dinner in the heart of Boston's North End.

Restaurant was busy, but noise level didn’t interfere with our conversation. Food presentation was lovely. They were aware of two food allergies and a birthday celebration (appreciated that they read the notes on our reservation). Food came out quickly. Thankful for the complimentary birthday dessert. Cons: Our server may have been new. Drinks were brought out at different times. Waiter never came to the table to check on us during our time there. We had to flag down to get his attention. We were sitting near a window and were freezing (needed to keep coat on until halfway through our meal). Pasta entrees were presented beautifully, but were “kid size” portions. If you’re not a fan of crowded spaces, this isn’t the place for you. Four out of six said they wouldn’t return as they left hungry. Five out of six said they would have ordered at least one more drink each, but the waiter never came by and asked. Two out of six are willing to return to give it a second chance. I don’t like to give poor reviews. This place is lovely and would have given it 4-5 stars if the portions were larger based on feedback from our entire party.

                                                                        Is this helpful?
