   La Summa was wonderful. A quaint restaurant with great ambiance. The food is delicious and the service was top notch. Our party had seafood, pasta and meat dishes. Everyone enjoyed their food and we all said we will be back. I highly recommend La Summa.

   Booked a table here the night before the marathon and I’m glad I did after seeing the queues at other restaurants nearby. The staff were fantastic and the food was some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place.

   Thoughtful authentic Italian cuisine, like being in Grandma’s kitchen! Staff treats diners like family, too!

   I would highly recommend this restaurant, for its Italian cuisine, which is outstanding. The menu choices perfect, the staff was so friendly and accommodating. If you want to be romantic with your significant other, this is the place to be. I would highly recommend this restaurant in the north end of Boston.

   First visit to this wonderful family run restaurant. It was exceptionally busy because it was the 250 year anniversary of Paul Reveres ride (the Revere House is just a block away) we were able to get reservations through open table at the last minute. The food was amazing and the service superb. But the reason we will go back was the personal touch of the manager, Sharon. She and her team made us feel like family!

   We weren’t sure where to eat in the North End but picked La Summa based on the Open Table reviews. It was so quaint. Small and cozy. Food was fresh and delicious. Meatballs tasted just like my mother-in-law’s. Pasta was fresh. Price was reasonable. And the portions were perfect. Not too large, but big enough for my daughter and I to split a dish of Alfredo pasta. Service was good.

   Booked a 5:30 reservation for my family (visiting from New Jersey- but life long Brooklyn Italians…) here after reading reviews for family friendly places in the north end- we were with my 4yr old & 1yr old- small room but very inviting/intimate- they easily accommodated us even though our taxi drove us through TD Garden traffic and we were 15mins late - they had our table ready with a high chair- and brought out the spaghetti & meatballs already split for the kids very quickly - it was a big hit - my 1yr old at the entire plate of food - I would suggest the fresh pastas for sure. Chicken parm was also a good choice. Rice ball appetizer was very delicious- and the homemade vanilla & chocolate gelato with a cherry covered in a chocolate shell special dessert special was amazing (what i would call tartufo but that is actually something hazelnut on the menu…) - and they brought us lemon peels for our espresso on request (iykyk). Seemed like a real authentic family run place- our server/host was very sweet with the kids - food came out very fast. Wine list was very reasonable (we had the DEI Montepulciano and everyone loved it). The real highlight was at 7pm (Saturday night) when we were finishing our meal a gentleman came out to sing a couple of Italian songs and happy birthday to my mom- it made our night! The kids (and adults) loved it! As an added bonus location is convenient- We walked over to Mike’s Pastry before heading back to our hotel. Great end to our trip.
