I had the chicken Parmesan and the portion was excellent. Our waiter Emiliano could not have been any more helpful and gracious. I was recommended this restaurant all the way from Florida, we were not disappointed. 👌🏽

Simply great! The food was top notch. The service was both professional and friendly. We have been there many times in the past for a delicious meal and this was no exception. The tuna tartare app was excellent with just the right amount of spice with the raw tuna on a bed of avocado. The seafood entrees were cooked perfectly and the Veal Valdosta was enormous and perfectly cooked as well. We were never rushed and our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. It was a most relaxing evening. The desserts were wonderful and the blueberry cheesecake was amazing. Bricco is definitely worth the visit.

We had a delightful meal at Tresca. The space is open, not elbow to elbow and you can actually have a conversation! Food is fresh, honest and flavorful, with new and classic dishes to suit everyone. But the standout is the excellent and attentive service; what a great team and the owner is there making sure all goes smoothly. We are local and have eaten many times in the North End and Tresca is like being with family. Bravo!
