I like Ernesto's for slices , Pizzeria Regina for beer and pizza when no line waiting to get in , Antico's for dining and pizza , umberto Galleria (only open days til they run out and close 2-3 pm is the issue here) . These are my pizza spots when near the Northend

I have mixed feelings for Locale. We walked in and grabbed bar seats right away. The server was…read morevery good and took care of us right away. Things I liked - My pizza - the dough was delicious, the shaved fennel was delicious My Aperol Spritz was good, the addition of olives is strange but not bad My husband had the PAPPARDELLE and it was good, I liked the currants, a new twist for pasta for me. Things that could be better- My pizza could have had a lot more of the spicy sausage. It only had maybe 4-5 small pieces on the entire thing The PAPPARDELLE could have had a lot more actual meat in the meat sauce Neither of us cared for the corn polenta. It had a taste that we didn't care for. The saffron aioli was bland and tasteless. All in all it was a good meal. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I also wouldn't tell anyone not to go there.

We were in the mood for pizza and Locale was the perfect choice. The space is very cute, staff is super friendly with their service and the food and drinks were really good and fresh. Ordered an aperol spritz and margherita pizza. The pizza was delicious and a good portion. Really fresh and flavorful. The drink was tasty as well. Good prices were also a plus! Would definitely come back here

Came here for dinner for Valentine's Day and I should imagine it was a very tight. 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.

This spot feels genuinely authentic, which can be hard to find these days in the North End. It's a…read morevery small space, so I definitely recommend making a reservation! The service was friendly, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. I loved the broccoli rabe pizza with spicy salami -- the flavors were unique and really well done. I'd definitely like to come back to try more of their pizzas and pastas!

Five stars for service from the hostess, waitress so accommodating. Great neighborhood atmosphere…read more Five stars for food, flavor of marinara, pasta and parmigiana chicken and eggplant. Love the fig and greens salad w goat cheese. Consistently excellent food for reasonable cost. And a little to take home.

We visited Benevento's in the North End for a pasta meal a few days before the Boston Marathon…read more Having been to a few other North End restaurants, I would say that this place rates slightly above average. Service was quick but you could tell that the servers were very busy and didn't have much time for pleasantries. The restaurant was packed and loud (definitely recommend having reservations) and tables were VERY close together, making it tricky to get in and out of the seating, even for my husband and I who are not large people. For the food - mine was outstanding! I tried a homemade pasta with a blush sauce and it was fantastic. The pasta was fresh with the perfect consistency, and the sauce was so rich and well flavored. My husband, who is gluten intolerant, had gluten free pasta with broccolini and sausage. He said his meal was just ok. The gluten free pasta looked to be the same brand we buy at home, and the flavor of the sauce was average. Overall, it was a fun night out, but I think we would probably opt to try a different North End restaurant next time.

On a super hot Boston day we happened upon a man walking out of this restaurant with a GIANT pizza…read moredown the street. Upon seeing that we headed in! It was the kind of pizza with an amazing crust, fresh toppings and it said chewy, cheesey, and saucey goodness. The air conditioning was wonderful since it was 99 outside and our water glasses were never empty. We ordered a meat and cheese platter for an appetizer that was perfect. Then enjoyed the spaghetti and meatball, a special pizza (with a fresh truffle sliced at the table) and the shrimp limoncello. The food was great wonderful flavors and really well done. I loved the shrimp limoncello it was just delightful on a hot day!

Visited Quattro during Dine Out Boston Restaurant week and we were disappointed. It's a small…read morerestaurant on one of the corners of Hanover. I love a dim lit restaurant; however, a candle on our table or a small table light would be appreciated (we had to take one from another table). In addition, the music was really loud we found ourselves having to speak loudly to hear one another and we could clearly hear the conversations of the tables around us. As for the food, we didn't have many positive things to say. The highlight of the meal was the pesto dipping sauce that came with the bread and the fries that came with the steak. The bread tasted and felt stale, not off to a great start. Additionally, the meatballs came out room temperature, they didn't really have any flavor, and they tasted freezer burnt. My significant other really enjoyed the cacio e pepe sauce that came with the arancini but I wasn't a fan. The arancini itself was really good. As for our entrees neither of us were a fan of our dishes. I only ate a couple of bites of my pasta and my boyfriend said the steak wasn't great. We didn't have high hopes for dessert but my significant other enjoyed the tiramisu, but the cannolis just weren't good. Overall, the service was okay and the food not so great. Not sure if it's because we ordered off the dine out menu, but we probably won't return. You could get better italian food somewhere else in the North End.
