    First time for all in the group dining at Tresca. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. We arrived 45 minutes early for our reservation (willing to sit at the bar to wait) and were seated right away. Excellent service and attention throughout the meal. When my husband was given the wrong beer, it was remedied quickly. They were very apologetic about the mistake and even gave us a lovely dessert which was not necessary at all as we know mistakes happen. We truly appreciated the gesture and those donut holes with ice cream and pistachios were amazing! We did the dine-out Boston menu and the meatball and burrata apps were delicious. Both the chicken parm and bolognese entrees were terrific as well and generous in size - enough for another meal. Tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever had and the flourless chocolate cake was decadent, and we’ve eaten at many Italian restaurants. Cocktails were fantastic. I would definitely recommend Tresca for an exceptional dinner out.
