    Just a really good meal all round. The prices look expensive but when you see the portions it’s more than value for money. It was absolutely delicious, 10/10. Very chill vibes, was lovely that Rich (the owner) greeted everyone individually at their table, made you feel very valued.

    First time eating at Tresca in the North End. Looked at reviews and thought it was worth a try. We have eaten at several other Italian restaurants in the area and was a bit disappointed here. The food was a little above average and we felt a bit rushed [my wife and I were out in about 1 hour]. Overall would not recommend or go back as there are so many other options in the North End.

    Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you felt rushed, it is never our intention. Tables are set up for a 2 hour dining period.
