There is something unique about strolling through the crowded streets of the North End, with so many strangers all eagerly awaiting a delicious meal...or stuffed and content after having just finished their meal. The vibe just seems to get everyone salivating with excitement.
Prezza delivered and met our lofty expectations last night, as six of us enjoyed a lovely dinner. We were nearly drooling over our and each others entrees, and everyone enjoyed their respective dishes. The meat lover of the group, who ordered the Meatball, Sausage and Ribs, raved about the soft and flavorful meatballs and mix of meats with creamy polenta. And each bite of the rich gnocchi bolognese was a decadent treat, with hearty creamy mushroom flavor.
On the lighter side, the seafood dishes were also fantastic, including the surprisingly filling fish stew. Though the flavors were mild, the variety of perfectly cooked fish was impressive, including 1/2 lobster, large chunks of swordfish, jumbo prawns, mussels, squid and clams. The wood fired charred bread was great with the broth...too much fish and not enough bread is a brilliant problem to have! I did manage to steal a bite of the tuna steak, which was also fantastic and looked beautiful over the fregola salad.
Paul provided our table with great service, and we never felt rushed, so we enjoyed our relaxed dinner together and will return! read more
