    We had a great dinner at Tresca. We were seated upstairs next to a very large party, so it was a bit loud, but it didn't bother us. The food was delicious and portions were generous. Wine was good, too. All around a great experience.

    Wow. Outstanding. I had the Swayman special. My boss had the seafood Alfredo and our customer had the bolongnese...all wow! Tresca was better than I expected..and I don't mean that in a what's this gonna be like way! On a side note my mother used to make Ray Bourques skates when he played. She was the skate boot maker at Bauer/Micron custom department so I had added curiosity to see what he was involved with here...another winner of course! I will be back with a larger group, Thanks again too to Chef Rich for saying hi, ensuring we were happy and our service was top notch, food top notch. Glad i found Tresca. Outstanding, see you again soon Tresca team!

    All the meals were delicious, attention to detail was spot on. Service was excellent. We were going to the Celtics game and all the food came out timely but not rushed. The head chef came out to check on us twice. Awesome food and service, definitely going back.

    Thanks for your rude comments. Did you speak to your server or the Chef while you were there to discuss your issues? With literally thousands of 5 star reviews this review is not representative of Tresca.

    First time for all in the group dining at Tresca. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. We arrived 45 minutes early for our reservation (willing to sit at the bar to wait) and were seated right away. Excellent service and attention throughout the meal. When my husband was given the wrong beer, it was remedied quickly. They were very apologetic about the mistake and even gave us a lovely dessert which was not necessary at all as we know mistakes happen. We truly appreciated the gesture and those donut holes with ice cream and pistachios were amazing! We did the dine-out Boston menu and the meatball and burrata apps were delicious. Both the chicken parm and bolognese entrees were terrific as well and generous in size - enough for another meal. Tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever had and the flourless chocolate cake was decadent, and we’ve eaten at many Italian restaurants. Cocktails were fantastic. I would definitely recommend Tresca for an exceptional dinner out.
