    Tresca's was fantastic, its the perfect quaint Italian restaurant in the north end. We had a 615 reservation but showed up early around 6, they were able to seat us right away. Our server was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. The food and drinks were delicious and great portion sizes for the price, both of us had the #1 Swayman special (I have never seen a piece of chicken that big at a restaurant before). Where we sat was quiet enough for conversation but not too quiet and had a nice view of the street, I imagine if you sat closer to the bar area it would be louder. We will definitely be back next time we are in Boston.

    Tresca in the Northend is a must try if you haven't experienced it yet. I got the veal chop that was unbelievable. Bring your appetite if you order it. Chef Rich works the room to make sure all his patrons have what they need and are happy. Outstanding!

    Great food and service. We had a lovely time celebrating my mom’s birthday. My mom had the eggplant parmesan and my husband had the lasagna. They were both raving about the dishes. There were also great celiac friendly options for me. We will definitely come back!
