The Amalfi veal was OVER THE TOP delish!!! You can certainly tell that they make the pasta fresh. The garlic in the dish put it over the edge. Mushroom ravioli was also great. We DO NOT recommend the house Chianti but EVERYTHING ELSE was AMAZING!!! Limoncello was amazing. Great service, fair prices. HIGHWAY RECOMMEND we came on a Wednesday night with nor reservation and they kindly sat us and treated us like VIPs read more

Nice ambiance, cute decor. However, tables are 6 inches apart -- hope you're comfortable being close to strangers while dining. Bread was great! Unfortunately, the spaghetti and meatballs were extremely underwhelming (bland) and the chicken parm followed suit. Also overpriced -- over 80$ for 2 entrees and 1 wine, you could get better at any other restaurant on the street. To add insult to injury, our server couldn't be more disinterested in his job... plus it's a little awkward to watch him sitting on his phone in the dining room. I honestly think this place is a tourist trap given its quality and location. Would not recommend. read more

Meh. The lasagna is a big block of pasta and cheese. It's ok tasting but it's nothing to rave about. Less is always more when it comes to a great lasagna. The chicken risotto is more like a super sweet chicken teriyaki. Way too sweet! Overall, not great. I'd try another restaurant on Hanover street before coming here. read more

The best handmade gnocchi pesto I've had in the North End! The size and density of the gnocchi coupled with the freshness of the pesto was perfection! We were able to get a table right away without a reservation, and the whole staff was polite and kind. It's one of the smaller restaurants in the North End, but I didn't feel rushed at all. Highly recommend their pasta! read more

A bit shocked by all the positive reviews... did we all eat the same food here? First off, let me start by saying that the service was excellent - no complaints there. However the food... meatballs were ok, ravioli was just ok (muted flavor in my opinion, but the lobster rav was at least better than the mushroom), and cannoli might have been the only slightly better thing on the menu. The price that this came out to... not worth it, regretted eating here and spending on what was just a very very mediocre (if I'm being generous) palate experience. read more

Dined here back in Feb during the arctic blast we had and still this restaurant was jam packed! We were a little early for our reservation but they were able to sit us almost immediately. It is a cozy spot with tables close together, we actually ended up making friends with the two neighboring tables! Our server was very nice and attentive despite it being busy! Drinks: I had a Cosmo and my boyfriend had the espresso (unfortunately didn't snap a picture) both delicious highly recommend the espresso. There is no bar, the server is also the bartender Food: came out quickly, I got the bolognese and my boyfriend got the lamb ragu, both were delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

We accidentally stumbled into this place on a cold and rainy Tuesday afternoon. It has a very humble appearance but it was very cozy and the staff was fantastic. They were friendly, easy to talk with and made sure everyone in the restaurant was taken care of. The food was simply delicious. It exceeded any expectations we had and then some. From the meatball apps, to the warm bread with oil and Parmesan cheese, I knew the entrees were going to be amazing. I got the lamb and my wife the mushroom ravioli. Both were hands down amazing and you could tell it was handmade and fresh. Give them a try! You will not be let down! read more

The perfect little spot in Boston's North End for some authentic home made Italian food! Perfect ambience and wonderful atmosphere, the staff were engaging and friendly. I had the lasagne and the tomato mozzarella salad. So yummy and topped it off with some espresso! I've referred many people since! read more

Casa = Home That's the feeling you get upon entering this humbling Italian spot. We are treated like family and it's far away from The Olive Garden. Highly recommend this restaurant for your next lunch, dinner, date. Cheers to Frank and the team there! read more

Brought my in laws to Casadecce who work in the wine business in Napa. They saw their wines on the wall and were excited about that-- +1. Great wine selections! Small but beautiful restaraunt, love the small personal feel and the service was wonderful. Felt attended and was so helpful! We got the shrimp scampi, chicken parmigiana and forgot the other. All was delicious! Loved the peppers in the scampi. Chicken parm was nice and crispy. 10/10 experience, can't wait to come back! read more

We have been to this restaurant twice now. The atmosphere is great. Very mom and pop in a good way. Service is excellent. And the food is amazing. This is what we have ordered: 1. Meatball app - 9/10, red sauce is amazing. Just wish you got more than 3 small meatballs for the price. 2. Cesar salad - 9/10 3. Carbonara - 6/10, this was not a carbonara at all. So as a carbonara, its a 6/10 dish. But as just a regular cream sauce pasta dish, it was tasty. 4. Lasagna - 10/10, delicious! Must order! 5. Gnocchi pesto - 9/10, pesto sauce is awesome. Make sure to ask for more bread to use the sauce as a dip. YUM! Overall, we love this place. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is I feel like the price is a little high for the portion sizes you are getting. read more

We had a reservation for a party of four. The waitress was very nice and attentive. Some of the food (meat balls and roasted potatoes) were not served hot (barely warm). My beet arugula salad was delicious. Our table enjoyed the chicken parm spring rolls as an appetizer and the mussels were delicious. My son's veal dish had cold potatoes and a the portion on the veal was underwhelming. Overall the four of us would rate our experience as average. Expensive entrees from 36-39 dollars. We will try another place the next time we are in the North End. read more

One of my favorite restaurants on the North End. I'll start with the bread which is great. I've had the calamari appetizer a few times and it's the best I've ever had. I especially like the broccoli rapi. The pasta is homemade. The place is very small so go early or go for lunch. I got there at 11:30 and half the tables were already taken. read more

Good stuff.....I'd go back but expensive. 3 meatball appetizer & Chicken Parm appetizer were $15. My son loved the Chicken Parm appetizer and I thought the meatball appetizer was good.... not great. The garlic bread with the Meatball appetizer was very tasty. My wife enjoyed her; mozzarella,basil tomato appetizer. My wife's Gnocchi was the best she has ever had. My veal parm was good and my son had the fettuccine Alfredo which he enjoyed. Service was very good. Plus the outdoor seating on this perfect summer day in Boston was a huge win. Overall I would comeback but just know it's a little on the expensive side.... $165 + tip for 3 people with 4 total drinks.... 2 beers/2 wines. read more

Service was very good. Bread and appetizer nothing special. Pastas were very good. Nice to be able to sit without a reservation.

Good food and pleasant experience- another wonderful north end eatery. Will go here again

The service was great and ambience fine....but the food was tasteless. It looked like it would be amazing but the lasagna had no meat in it or the sauce. The veal saltimbocca was so tough I couldn't believe it was veal. Even the pasta was sub par. So disappointing... read more

Casarecce - Lobster ravioli - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Casarecce had the best Italian food we have had since we were in Italy! Little Italy in Boston has so many options for a nice dinner that it was just by luck we decided to eat here. We were sat immediately by a window seat and greeted with water and fresh bread before we even had our coats off. The whole place is no more than 10 tables and so the servers can spend extra time walking you through the menu and helping you choose a wine pairing. Our waiter was also very funny and personable. They played Italian music and had wine racks all over with very interesting labels to look at. The food was delicious! Everything came out hot and quickly. The portion sizes were quite large and we still tried to eat slow to savor every bite! Dishes usually range between $20-$30 but the meal you are going to have here is well worth that price! read more

I'd give zero stars if possible. The servers continued to place food at improper tables, once we had to bring it to the attention, food was then brought back to the kitchen. As if we were to assume that we were about to receive a fresh new order.. (shady) All 3 entrees were a disaster. Lasagna was re heated after some one had already sent it back, then was given to us. Lobster ravioli was hardly mid with the filling being dryer then the so called bruschetta bread. The chicken parm would have been better from an Olive Garden. Your red sauce has zero flavor, defend your fresh rolled pasta all you want. You can have fresh pasta and kill it with your bland sauce. Oh and did I mention we returned all three entrees, and was forced to pay half the bill anyhow. Do not waste your money. Take it to another place (The Daily Catch) read more

This is the best Italian restaurant in the north end. The gnocchi is phenomenal with its pesto sauce and the chicken risotto was so flavorful and creamy. All the wines are super tasty. You have to get the tiramisu. Don't get the limoncello shots unless you like some strong liquor. I usually like them a lot more sour. Highly recommend eating here!! read more

Casarecce - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Incredibly average food. We got the lasagna and the chicken vodka pasta. Both dishes were very bland. I will say they were improved with lots of Parmesan cheese, emphasis on a lot. The staff were kind and the view from the window table is nice, but wouldn't recommend if you want good food. read more

Amazing dinner at Casarecce on a Saturday evening! My friend and I were seated promptly for our 5pm reservation at a cozy two-person table and our waiter was super friendly. We were super excited for their freshly made pasta. I started with a glass of the Chianti and went with the eggplant parm for my entree. I appreciate that they had a number of vegetarian entrees! The eggplant parm was delightful and the accompanying casarecce was cooked to perfection with a flavorful marinara sauce. I almost ate my entire entree but wanted to save some for later. The service was prompt and we were able to wrap up by 6pm to get to our next commitment. Overall, this was my second time dining here and will definitely be back! read more

A busy January Saturday night trying to have a great meal before a Bruins game at TD Garden. We were a few minutes late to our 5:30 reservation as the falling snow and traffic got the better of us. But there sat our table waiting for us. Thank you! It was a packed house and we appreciated that they held the table for us. Wine list had a good variety of price points so we selected a bottle of red. Bread service was included and had an eggplant chutney-like topping and Parmesan cheese. I wasn't a big fan of the eggplant, it had a bit of an off flavor to me, almost fishy. We got the calamari for the table and it was delicious- light breading, hot and a nice serving of marinara. My bolognese was outstanding. Meaty and the pasta was homemade and perfectly prepared. As with many Northend restaurants you have to be ready to be elbow to elbow with your dining neighbors. No dessert for us...game time! read more

I will go with four stars in the end but the true rating is somewhere between three and four stars in my eyes. Place is small and requires reservations for sure. We came in on the early side for a 5 pm dinner. I highly recommend as an app the chicken parm egg rolls. Sounds weird but it works. Good for sharing and something unusual to try. My main was a spaghetti white clam sauce. The clams were strangely bland and a little chewy. The dish was a mild let down. My dining companions enjoyed the veal saltimbocca and the shrimp fra diavolo was pretty solid as well with nice flavors. Wines were on point as was the affogato desert. Our waiter was solid no nonsense and got us what we needed. Place had us in and out in 70 minutes which suited our schedule nicely. I would go here again although there are better NE places. It's a high bar to clear! read more

Great great food. Excellent service. If we are ever back in Boston would love to go again!

The food was absolutely amazing! My husband and son loved their dish, all ranking their food 10/10. It was a small, cute and personal restaurant that took our party of 3 without reservations. We ordered: - calamari - meatballs -brochette -lobster ravioli -frutti di Mare -pappardelle Alfredo Amazing! Amazing! read more

So we had the opportunity to try this place the service was phenomenal and they ended up seating us pretty quick even during a busy Saturday evening. I'm giving it three stars more for the food. I didn't really enjoy my dish. It was not so flavorful compared to other Italian dishes I've had that are the same dish, like it was lacking some of the meat that needed to be in the sauce my wife got lasagna Bolognese, which OK it was missing meat sauce between the layers. It seemed like it was just noodle cheese, noodle cheese, noodle cheese, noodle cheese, and the meat sauce on top so the times that I've had, there goes noodle cheese sauce, noodle cheese sauce, noodle cheese sauce, sauce on top you know and then cheese, but it wasn't like that so it was a little dry in the sense and lacking some of the sauce service I would say was four stars they sat right away was quick check came out quick didn't feel rushed overall great experience read more

I absolutely loved the service at this restaurant! My daughter and I went to this restaurant on a Saturday at the North End, so you can imagine how packed all the places were. We looked at the menu and loved the selections, so we entered to see, if there was any chance, as the place was full. Our server greeted us right away with a great smile and told us that we should have a table in about 20 minutes and took our name. The place is really small, but very cozy and fun. Loved the decorations with all the wine bottles and the traditional Italian music, which transports us to a new place. We got our table in less time than that and my daughter ordered the Carbonara and I had the Bolognese. They were both good plates, the Papardelle Bolognese pasta was a little undercooked and I was missing a little bit of the ragu flavor and the sickness behind the sauce. Having said that, I enjoyed the plate overall and considering that this was a Saturday, it's hard to manage the busy environment sometimes. My daughter's carbonara was good as well, but sauce was missing some of that parmesan strength that comes with the plate. The pancettas were nice and the pasta was al dente. We both really enjoyed the place, the atmosphere, the coziness of the table and the service that really transported you back to Italy. We will definitely come again, as we love coming to the North End! Cheers! read more
