Evolving from one of the North End’s fine-dining pioneers, Trattoria a Scalinatella, Tresca maintains some of its ancestor’s characteristics---above all an emphasis on tasting menus improvised (at least theoretically) to reflect your wine choices.

The food here is absolutely delicious. Had the veal piccata and Arancini. Pasta was fresh and sauce was one of the best I’ve had. Five stars, definitely recommend.

Tresca Restaurant combines the Italian tradition of hospitality with food that comforts and welcomes its guests. Italians are renowned for their hospitality or “Ospitalita” and Executive Chef Rich Ansara along with Ray Bourque and the staff bring these traditions to Tresca. Reservations highly recommended!
