Food was excellent and service even better from Abraham a real credit to restaurant. Usual international flavour to guests being Christmas Day but staff coped superbly and never missed a beat.

We had my husbands 70th birthday dinner at Saraceno which is his favorite restaurant in the North End. We were seated on the lower level which was perfect for a more private setting. The drinks, food and service were all excellent. I would highly recommend!!

Love this place. Food is great and staff are so kind and attentive. Not sure why they cram tables so close to door. I get wanting to maximize space but makes for an unpleasant experience on what would otherwise be so great.
