    Display at the FOX25 Zip Trip, downtown Everett
    Eric S.

    This is one review I've been looking forward to writing. I first learned about 8/10 Bar & Grille at the FOX25 ZipTrip on a Fri morn in downtown Everett. After talking to the owner, Rich Sasso, I told him I'd probably check out the restaurant "sooner rather than later." Well, my brother just came in from out of town and I took both he, and my mother there, less than a few hours later, and I'm glad I did. Now, I write this review, and give it 5 stars, not as an aficionado of "fine Italian dining" but, simply, as a guy who likes Italian food and has eaten at a LOT of restaurants in a LOT of different places. 1. While the 8/10 is ironically ensconced between 3-4 taquerias, the outside will fade away the moment you step inside. While not large, it makes good use of its space. It avoids the fake Italian decorations that try to make you think you're in Italy. Instead, you'll find a pleasant assortment of Sinatra/Rat Pack era photos gracing the walls with Sinatra music playing in the background. 2. While not a drinker, I know a good, well-stocked bar when I see one. It's a long bar, too, with 3 TV's and, at present, the kind of bartender who seems glad to see you there and makes sure you know you're welcome back. Whether it was a coincidence, or not, the owner was there, as well and, coming from a family business, that's a big plus to me, as well. 3. The menu is full of all kinds of options and, for a very reasonable price, portions are large. They even have a separate "wing menu" with wing creations like "Parmesan & Garlic" and "Hawaiian." The sauce on the fried artichokes was a little too lemony for my taste but that can always be adjusted. Otherwise, we had a great late lunch and found it so pleasurable we stayed 3 hours (only because it wasn't full at that time ;) ) As for dessert, stay tuned! 4. The waitress was pleasant and very accomodating, the owner and bartender friendly, the prices and portions were excellent and the food was delicious. What more can you ask for? Valet Parking? Fend for yourself! ;)

    Blue Cheese Burger with Sweet Potatoes Fries

    Great little neighborhood spot. Looks like a total dive on the outside, but has a really nice wooden bar, and simple decor with tables with checker cloth on the inside. They have a great staff friendly waitresses and bartenders. I been told if I follow them on twitter they put their specials and other things on there. I brought my little brother here for a early birthday dinner last weekend. As always the staff was friendly and efficient. They have great customer service. The burgers are amazingly good. My two favorite is the and the blue cheese burger, those things are monsters good luck trying to finish it (I'll post a pic), and my brothers favorite the 8/10 burger, bacon, BBQ sauce, and caramelized onions. The sweet potato fries are great and additive and I only end up having a few. I actually never had a cocktail here, since I tend to carry out, and been here for lunch. They also have awesome pizzas. I plan to try their pasta dishes just haven't gotten around to it yet. My only compliant is I ordered out for the wings and they tough and undercooked. I was waiting a bit for my food so I don't know if they rushed or what. That has been my only compliment about them and I eaten here multiple times. Also love that they are very affordable.

    Amazing little spot in the Boston North End. We walked in…read morejust before lunch and were seated immediately. Recommend reservations for dinner as others have mentioned as it's relatively small, but cozy and reminiscent of some of my favorite Italy spots. Service was personal, immediate and wonderful. Bread was great as appetizer and filling. We ordered two specials and were VERY happy we did (see photos).

    I recently visited Isabella Ristorante in the North End and had a really enjoyable dinner overall…read more I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because the restaurant fills up quickly, especially during dinner hours. One small thing -- maybe it was just me, but the entrance was a little difficult to find at first since it's mainly just a door from the outside. There were also tables seated very close to the entrance, which made it feel a bit cramped and awkward walking in and out. Our waiter was friendly and nice, though the service did feel a little rushed at times. That said, the food was absolutely delicious. We started with the calamari to share, and it was beautifully prepared -- crispy, fresh, and not overly heavy. For my entree, I ordered the seafood pasta and really loved it. The seafood tasted fresh, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors all came together really well.

This is my first…read moretime here so I'm not sure if the configuration it was supposed to be as tight where they have like two high top tables directly behind other dining tables so some acrobatics were needed to be done by both the white staff and customers to sort just move around. I didn't mind that much since it was actually pretty tight and cozy so it actually brought up the energy I think. We already had reservations, so we received a fairly quickly, and the white stuff were very professional and courteous. The food did not disappoint. The calamari came out fresh and hot. Crispy and the banana peppers gave it just the right heat. The marinara sauce paired well with it. The Lobster Fra Diavolo was done in a cute heart shaped, so that was delightful. Lobster was done perfectly and the slightly spicy sauce of the pasta paired beautifully. My favorite was actually the marsala. The Fusilli was done perfectly al dente and soaked in that delicious sauce that was flavorful and clung so well to the pasta. The chicken breast was well marinated and super tender and juicy. Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to order this again next time.

    Cafe Amaro....No Bene!…read more North End is one of my favorite Boston neighborhoods for Italian food especially Pizza. But this time, not so much! We walked in here on a Sunday afternoon and stopped at Cafe Amaro since they had open tables. The restaurant is very small probably about 10 or so tables. We sat right up against the kitchen which was warm since it was a bit chilly outside. After about 5-8 minutes went by our server came over and we asked to sample 2 glasses of wine. They were not good at all. After tasting one more we finally landed on the Chianti. We then waited longer to place our order which was the Prosciutto and Fig pizza. I also ordered a soda water with lemon which never came. Note: there are 2 servers and I believe 1 speaks English but I am not 100% sure. Once our server finally came over my husband had to remind him of the soda water which he proceeded to say "we only have large bottles." Ok, thanks for letting me know since the other server/busser did not. Does he work here? Does he know the menu? Why wouldn't he tell me this the first place? Our pizza finally came and even after ordering it well done it was still floppy and flimsy to the point when everytime we went to pick up the slice everything fell off...UGH! I don't know how in the North End this place gets by or survives? Maybe they were having an off day? I do see other reviews that had better experiences than ours. Maybe they were short on staff? If that was the case then say something because I probably would've had more patience and understanding if this was the case. BTW, Our server NEVER came over after ordering our wines and pizza. He never asked "how is everything?" NEVER... I also rarely give one/two stars to restaurants but this was despicable and I really hope this is not their norm. All I have to say is there are so many other better restaurants in the North End to go to, but Cafe Amaro is not one of them.

    Renowned Boston Italian restaurant specializing in seafood. Just to reiterate the staff before you…read morecome, it's CASH ONLY (there's an atm at the front of you need some), expect to pay around $30 per entree. Staff is gruff but efficient. The line does move very fast and Gicomo's has expanded to a second sitting area for more space. Ordered the fried calamari platter appetizer and fra diovolo with shrimp and scallops. The former was very very mediocre; it was fresh but the batter seemed soggy and the sauce was watery and weak. However, the fra diovolo was fantastic. Al dente noodles cooked to perfection and the scallops and shrimps were large, juicy, and tender. I'd recommend it for sure; it's one of those dishes you'll definitely be sopping the bread with the leftover sauce (which you should do anyway). Just FYI, it's not spicy at all. Honestly, Giacomo's was a bit disappointing, considering the hype. But I'd still want to come back, and I'm glad I tried it.
