About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
Located in the heart of Boston's North End neighborhood, VINOTECA di MONICA serves Rustic Regional Italian cuisine and Wine Spectator’s Grand Award for one of the largest Selections of Italian wines in the city.

You no longer need to travel to Italy to experience the marriage between regional Italian food and wine. The menu focuses on the preservation of traditional regional dishes, with an unpretentious dedication to the true flavors that make regional Italian cuisine so popular.

The art of pasta and bread making are carried out daily, for your sampling, where the freshest ingredients is an everyday affair. VINOTECA di MONICA is the result of Monica’s Restaurant evolution and our passion for the Italian culture and the big role food and wine plays in its preservation.

    Food was very good and great (but very noisy) ambiance. We had to wait way too long between the apps and main courses. No apologies and no explanation. Waiter was not very friendly or attentive. It may have been busy, but a restaurant like this should be able to handle busy. The service and the long wait ruined what could have been a good experience.

    Had the perfect date night at this Italian gem before our concert at TD Garden! The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was amazing, with attentive and friendly staff who made the experience even better. From the appetizers to dessert, everything was spot-on. Highly recommend for a pre-show dinner or any special night out!
