    Unfriendly service. Food was good but served way too quickly. We finished our appetizer and the entrée came 5 minutes later, we felt rushed. Then we waited 10 minutes to get parmesan on our pasta and a glass if wine, the chef had to ask the servers to come do their job. The server seemed upset we decided to share a plate, he never smiled and seemed unhappy the whole time. Very disappointing service but the food was good thankfully.

    Service was amazing! From the waitress to the manager to the cook, all fantastic! The stuffed meatballs were amazing & my friends loved their meals! I wasn’t too crazy about the risotto scallops; personally, I didn’t think there was enough flavor, too many vegetables. Also the wine by the glass options could e expanded, but nonetheless an amazing experience & night!

    We were seated next to a loud group and was asked to be reseated. They couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating, wr got into a quiet little corner. Service was great. Food was excellent. Highly recommend and will be going back

    Great ambiance and attentive, friendly service. My husband and I were underwhelmed by our food, but it could have just been what we ordered. Our friends raved about their food—the chicken parm and seafood fra diavolo. Our server was very friendly and the right amount of attentive. It was a great evening and a good, cozy place to catch up with friends.

    Sorry if your orders were not to your satisfaction. We hope you will give us another try based on your friend's feedback. Thank you!

    Tresca is top notch Italian food. We stopped in for a quick dinner before a Celtics game and it was perfect! Service was impeccable. Prices are pretty good. Highly recommended.
