    The people working here could try to be a little friendlier but it may take some hypnosis or some higher power to do so.

    We stopped at Caffe Vittoria during a food tour and we were lucky that a reservation was made and…read morewe had a table set aside for our group. As we walked in, we were met with the great aroma of coffee and baked goods. The place was very busy and there were a lot of staff moving around and customers having conversations or in line to order take out. We sat in a separate area downstairs and we were the only guests there. It was somewhat dark but it was private and there were bathrooms downstairs. We tried their tiramisu that was one of the bests I've ever tried. We also ordered their pistachio martini that was a super treat as it also had pistachio gelato. Their cappuccino made me want a second one. I am coming back to this place next time that I visit the North End!

    This used to be a nice spot to get a coffee and pastry. However, I feel the quality has declined…read more The cappuccino didn't taste like there was even espresso in there. Faint enough that it seems like the coffee grounds were used a few times... the rum cake was okay. It tasted commercially made. Unfortunate because I used to enjoy a coffee and pastry here. The workers were nice but the quality just isn't meeting nearby bakeries... Tables and menus were a bit sticky / dirty and could benefit being wiped down more

I have been aware of Utopias for a decade. Finally had the chance to try it. Didn't know what I expected, maybe a genie popping out of the bottle? It's a Belgian with a genius Marketing Team behind it. It was good and I'm glad I was able to try it. In my opinion; not $400 a bottle good. Thanks

I stopped into this place as there was room at the bar and other places seemed very busy, given that it was the weekend of the Boston Marathon. There was a QR system to order but halfway through the bartender asked me what I wanted so I placed an order that way. I ordered a glass of wine and a glass of water. The wine came but no water. The wine was served in a nice sized glass. I asked again for water and five minutes later it arrived. I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla....it was mighty mediocre. Not well presented either, but at least it was warm. When I wanted to leave, it took 10 minutes to get the bartender's attention (who always seemed to be doing something other than paying attention to the patrons.) If you are starving, and there are not other options, by all means, go here. But you might do better at a different restaurant.

Each drink is tailored to personal taste, with adjustable sugar and ice levels, and the option to enjoy beverages warm or hot. Guests are welcomed into a cozy lounge or invited outdoors to the spectacular, year-round waterfront patio--an amazing place to take in sweeping views of Boston. The experience is completed by a very friendly staff, excellent tea, and prices that feel refreshingly fair. Whether you're stopping by for a casual visit or settling in for a longer stay, it's a place for fun times, relaxed conversations, and moments worth lingering over.

    I just watched the girl behind the counter blow her nose into a napkin in front of the toppings,…read morethen use the same napkin to wipe down the counter where the toppings are. She was making my drink. I just walked out leaving it there. I cannot believe what I saw. EDIT Based on Owner Response: So if you watched, you'd see me standing staring open mouthed watching through the blue glass, look around to see if anyone else was seeing what I was, then LEAVE WITHOUT THE DRINK I PAID FOR because of what I saw. I understand you're doing what you need to for your business, but don't try to make it seem like I imagined it. She blew her nose and used the napkin to clean up empty Yakult containers and wipe the counter down. She was not wearing gloves. Repeatedly touched her hair and face and was texting in between tasks. You might now want see through walls for your kitchen.

The huge lines seem intimidating, but they go by quite quickly, and it spreads into 3 separate lines inside. Bear in mind they are CASH ONLY. They do box your orders nicely with their iconic string. :) Although they're known for their cannoli, you can also order other pastries like eclairs, whoopie pies, brownies, cheesecakturnovers, florentines, scones, croissants, cookies, and even Dubai chocolate. Their pastry variety is endless. I ordered the Mint chip and Pistachio cannoli. Both were decadent but not too heavy or sweet. One downside is that I felt they were a bit drier than Modern, but otherwise comparable. Each was $8, although you can get "kits" for cheaper (some flavors like Dubai chocolate are more expensive). I'd love to come back and try the rest of their cannolis and pastries!

No seating inside it's take and go. The box and string are a nice touch. Found it to be delicious and a good size . I would have given this closer to 4 stars because the $8 seems a little steep. But the packaging alone might cost $2. It is popular and famous for a reason
