Very long wait (outside). Music was so loud and I overheard a staff say how high they were. Food was good but not worth the wait.

Tried to rush us throughout dinner. Bussers huddled over us all dinner. By 45 minutes from when we sat down, they were angling to get rid of us. Very loud with music too, hard to speak to each other.

Excellent food and amazing service. This was my first time in Boston and went to Strega North End on the recommendation of a friend. It will always be a go-to place whenever I'm in Boston. You won't be disappointed.
