    Can’t say enough about how great place is. I went for dinner for her birthday - food was outstanding, but the service was even better. Can’t wait to come back!

    Four of us had dinner after the Bruins game (we were hoping to catch Ray Bourque there but no dice). We had an amazing meal. Chef Rich even stopped by to say hello!

    We ho to the north end often but for some reason had never tried Tresca. We went after a bruins game and were seated right on time of our reservation. Someone came over quickly to take our drink order. We ordered the eggplant app and the golden beet & burrata app off the special menu. Both were great but the beet & burrata was so our favorite! For dinner 2 of us ordered the “swayman” - portion was huge & It was delicious. Others ordered the Gnocchi & carbonara which they really liked. Executive Chef & Co-owner Richard was walking around making sure everyone was happy and talking to the guests. We knew him from a prior restaurant years ago and were so happy to see him there! Service was consistent & attentive throughout our dinner. We will be back!

    We had an incredible experience at Tresca. The Chef greeted us once we were seated and chatted for a bit, he helped us choose the best dishes for our taste. The appetizers were outstanding (Stuffed meatballs and lobster stuffed mushrooms) and the main dishes were the best we've had. My veal parm was simply the best I've ever had. Big thank you to the entire staff for making our first meal at Tresca an unforgettable experience.

    Great experience. Had a chance to meet Ray and Chef Ansara for a few minutes and took some pictures. They are both legends and were very gracious. I would highly recommend Tresca for anyone visiting the North End and look forward to coming back.
