    This wonderful gem EXCEEDED our expectations! My husband and I celebrate our anniversary in the north end every year and like to try a new restaurant every time- this place was phenomenal- every single bite was excellent from the starter arugula salad to the veal Marsala which was impeccably seasoned and incredibly tender to the flourless chocolate cake which was oh so fudgy and decadent- the owner/chef came to our table to make sure everything was great (to me this is a staple for a well run restaurant). We were beyond impressed with the wait staff as well- never needed for anything. It will be hard to try a new restaurant next year as this one leaves some really big shoes to fill! Thank you Tresca for a night and a meal to remember!

    Food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. My wife and I were in celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed! We both ordered off of the “specials” menu but started with a lobster filled mushroom appetizer. Highly recommend!

    The food was delicious and the service was great. However, it’s a very small venue with tables placed very closely to each other. The noise level was pretty intense, but that’s probably normal for peak hours.
