Strega North End offers an "amazing dining experience" with "delicious food" and "attentive, fun staff." The "Mama's meatball" and "filet mignon" are must-tries. While its vibrant atmosphere is a draw, some find the noise level challenging. Reservations are recommended for this "authentic Italian gem" in Boston's North End.

We started with the meatball which was a great choice and cut through it with a fork! We shared the filet mignon and the risotto di mare which were both tremendous selections! Everything was great and Carlo was very personable which made the experience that much better. Thanks again, hope to be back soon and crush the rest of the menu!

Not great to sit with your kids to have dinner and they are watching people getting beat with baseball bats because they are showing a mob movie. Don’t appreciate all the violence on TV. Also they don’t serve coffee or dessert. We only went because we heard the Celtics coach likes it but never again.

Having been to Strega North End a few times, it has been a pleasure dining with them as the service is always great, and the food is exceptional…especially the Parmesan Wheel Pasta. However, the past two time I visited Strega North End were not pleasant experiences. Upon arriving to our reservation on time, we were checked in and asked to wait outside as our table would be ready “momentarily”. The first time, we ended up waiting for our table for over an hour and then once seated, the service seemed rushed in a way that I was unfamiliar with having dined at Strega previously. The second time, which was this past Saturday, started off the same way. We showed up to our reservation on time, were checked in, and asked to wait outside. After waiting for over 30 minutes. We overheard groups next to us complaining amongst each other for waiting over an hour to be seated. At that moment, we decided to leave and dine somewhere else. We have no issue in how Strega conducts their business as they are a private establishment. However, providing transparency to the patrons dining there would be appreciated and a step in the right direction to help manage the unusually long wait times.
