Best Italian Restaurants in Winthrop

I don't know how they do it! Great food and service every time. Actually, I do, the wait staff was excellent, and I saw at least three managers helping out keeping things spot on. They even tracked down the valet after so we could get to the game on time. The three of us loved every dish that came to the table. There are so many great spots in the North End but it's hard not to go to Lucca's every time...

We enjoyed our dining experience here a lot. The food was well prepared and flavorful. I was surprised to see zucchini flowers on the menu in December but they were so stuffed and fried, the freshness wouldn’t have mattered. Ambiance lovely. Service was great though perhaps not as attentive as other places. Food was delicious, but everything seemed overly complicated rather than letting just simple but high quality ingredients sing, as I’ve seen done so well in Italy. I’ll definitely return!

I dined here on a Thursday at 4:30 pm for a work event with my team. The Prima team did not miss a beat. We had a fantastic experience. The space is stunning with a gorgeous peak-a-book kitchen and beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was flavorful and perfectly plated. The bread plated was the best fresh ricotta with a hit of sesame I've had in the city! A must-try. We tried many cocktails with the favorite being the Prima martini. The manager Andrew and his team were attentive, knowledgable, and incredibly hospitable. If you haven't tried this spot it's a must!

Had a great dinner at Red Fox! The pasta was delicious and couldn’t go wrong with the vodka or pesto option. We sat at the bar and the bartender Brent was friendly, kind, and made our experience better.

One of my favorites in the North End. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu but the carbonara is my favorite!
