The staff was incredibly friendly in this cozy little pasta shop in the north end neighborhood. We selected a pasta nest for each family member and bagged them up for the road.

Definitely worth a pitstop as you work your way through this tasty neighborhood.

If you're in the Boston area, I would consider it a sin NOT to try Bricco's Salumeria. Not joking when I say that my favorite bite experienced during my entire trip to Massachusetts, came from one of the focaccia sandwiches I ordered from Bricco's. I have already made it a point in my mind to hit this spot in the North End of Boston any and EVERY-time I find myself in the Boston area. It truly is an Italian staple and a Boston Classic! I am a sucker for the majority of places that promote and sell to the public the local or imported ingredients and produce that are used in the making of the speciality menu items that make the spot a household name. Truly a traditional and classic Italian spot that speaks to the inner Paisan inside. It's like stepping into a part of Italy when you walk in here. The place is oozing with class and history, along with a mouthful of delicious stories to hear and sample from the staff that breathe life Into this place. The only bad thing is the limited seating. Thankfully though, there's a local park down the road that you can sit at while you enjoy this wonderful Boston Gem.

Down the mysterious looking alley hides a charming deli and bakery!! As we were on a food tour, we…read moredidn't have time to wait in line to buy sandwiches from the cute deli, but after watching the ladies making pasta through the window, I did manage to make my way down the stairs to the bakery for a look and got talked into buying a sfogliatelle from the lady standing behind me. The bakery is cash only and sells a variety of breads: baguettes, ciabatta, sourdough, & olive bread. In addition to the sfogliatelle, they sell muffins, croissants, and focaccia and muffins. The sfogliatelle was pretty good, the pastry was crispy and flaky and the lemon ricotta filling was very rich and creamy. I would've loved to have a couple loaves of the bread, but there was no way I was going to be able to bring it home as I was already maxed out with my carry ons!

Deano's is a great place if you want fresh or dried pasta. They are open 7 days a week…read more They have ziti, fusilli, shells, ziti, rigatoni, gemelli, malfadi and cavatelli to name a few. Some you can get dried some fresh. They also have quite a few varieties of sauces, many varieties of ravioli, stuffed shells (which I buy and store in the freezer for those nights I don't want to cook). I throw them in a casserole with some sauce and mozzarella cheese and dinners ready in no time. You can also buy their pasta and sauces at your favorite market. Their website shows what markets sell their pasta. This is a family run business so quality of their product never varies. They have been making pasta since 1947. Their pasta has the perfect chew when eating. After you eat their pasta you will never buy that store brand again!

The inside is pretty small so make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. In the warmer months you can sit outside but we sat at the bar since it was too cold outside and the regular seating was all booked up. The bar seating is tight so beware if you have a big jacket or bag with you! We ordered the celery Cesar, cavatelli, and margarita pizza. The celery Cesar was interesting. It's literally thin pieces of celery tossed in Cesar dressing. It immediately reminded me of the small side you get when you order buffalo wings -- not exactly in a good way. The cavatelli was delicious and perfect to split. My friend and I split the salad, pasta and pizza which was great. The portions were just right and this meant for an inexpensive dinner for each of us which you love to hear. The margherita pizza was good but nothing that'll blow you away. The slices are tinyyyy though. My friend took home the pizza leftovers (2 slices) but we almost left them on the plate because that's how small they were. All in all it was a cute spot and I'd be interested in trying other menu items!

It was always aromatic and a pleasure to shop there. In the days since Albie took over the store it is still the best produce shop in Boston. It is certainly superior to the other shops in the North End and Star and Stop And Shop markets. In addition to produce, Albie carries fresh pasta! And he is honest to a fault; He will tell you what is good, better, best in his stock. I just wish that I had his phone number so that I could order in advance and have someone collect my order. Albie is a sweet, kind, thoughtful and a gentleman so it is always a treat to shop in his store.

Really good pasta spot with plenty of options, including a gluten friendly pasta. It is essentially…read moregluten free pasta, though it is boiled in the same water, so not fully separate preparation. I ordered it anyway and did not have any reaction, but I did take off one star because they could easily improve by using a separate pot for gluten free cooking. I got mine with pesto and added Parmesan, and it was really tasty. The portions are huge, easily enough for two meals, which makes it feel worth the price. I also liked that the pasta comes in to go style containers even when dining in, so everything is already packed and you do not need to wait for a box or lid. The staff member was very friendly too, asking where we were from and making nice conversation. Overall, a very solid stop with good food and generous portions.
