    Had an amazing experience at Bricco in Boston's North End! The vibe was cozy yet lively, and the food did not disappoint. If you're not sure what to order, ask for Gisela at the bar — she's super friendly and really knows her stuff. She recommended a pasta dish that was absolutely 10/10. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    After a long weekend of driving, hockey tournaments, kids, fast food dinners, traffic and shopping, it was time for my husband and I to have a dinner that was delicious, comforting and provided with respectful and thoughtful service. Bricco brought it all and it was exactly what I wanted and needed. Yes it was loud in the restaurant. Yes it was bustling. Yes, it's tight with other humans. But isn't that the energetic authentic vibe you've been missing when you just want to be served and well fed and for only for one night and not have a care in a chaotic world? Love this place.

    Great meal! This is the second time we've eaten at Bricco in the last 3 years and it did not disappoint. We took our friends who were traveling with us. We had a 6:16pm reservation for a Saturday night in September and the place was super busy. We checked in and got seated right away - upstairs. I knew my wife wouldn't be happy with having climb the stairs but what was nice up there was that it was much less noisier than the main level. Alex was our server and she was fun and great. We started with drinks and the included bread. Two of us had wine and two of us had Old-fashioneds. They muddle their fruit here. Not my preference but it the drinks ended up being 'okay'. The bread was soft and the spreads offered were tasty. We ordered our dinners as follows: - Beef Short Rib on Mashed Potatoes (I subbed the potatoes as polenta was standard) - Sea Bass on a Potato Cake - 8oz Beef Tenderloin Filet - Salmon - Side: Creamed Parmesan Spinach - Side: Roasted Brussels Sprouts - Side: Gnocchi with Lobster My Beef Short Rib was amazingly tender and tasty. My wife's Sea Bass was probably the best her or I have ever had. The preparation was unusual and amazing. My friend's Beef Filet was so tasty and tender - likely Prime grade. I did try my friend's wife's Salmon but she enjoyed it. We were too full to try any of Bricco's dessert but had I had room, I was considering their Bread Pudding. In our experience, reservations are a must for dinner at Bricco. If you're going all out, each ordering their own meal and some sides, it's going to be $$$. Knowing that going it - it was an amazing meal.

    Fantastic on all accounts! Authentic Italian wines, menu options, and service. They let you split meals if you are torn between options. We had the gnocchi, pumpkin ravioli, and pappardele. Delicious.

    Unforgettable Dining Experience at Bricco! Dining at Bricco was an absolute delight from beginning to end. The inviting atmosphere, beautifully prepared and flavorful food, and the exceptional service provided by Wolmar truly made the evening special. Wolmar went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and memorable experience. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and genuine warmth made us feel completely at ease. He expertly selected our order, and his recommendations were spot-on. His impeccable timing ensured that each dish arrived just when we were ready, and he checked in with us at the perfect moments. The dishes themselves were a culinary masterpiece. Fresh ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and flavors that lingered long after the last bite made every dish a treat. From appetizers to dessert, everything was crafted with precision and passion. If you’re seeking a place where the food is fantastic and the service makes you feel like royalty, Briccoo is the place to be. And if you’re fortunate enough to be served by Wolmar, you’re in for an extraordinary culinary experience. Highly recommend!

    We had the absolute best time dining here! The food was authentic, flavorful, and truly excellent from start to finish. What made the night even more special was our amazing waiter, Vuvu. He had us laughing the entire time and made us feel like we were part of his own family. It was such a fun and memorable experience. Delicious food paired with genuine hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!

    Outstanding meal at Bricco. We made reservations for four of us to celebrate a birthday and Bricco did not disappoint. We were greeted warmly upon arrival (Mason, consummate host and manager!) And shown to a table in the middle of the dining room. While the tables are close, it did not feel like the other tables were intruding on our experience. The wife's Farfalle Tartufate was delicious, but the notable dishes at the table were the Veal Ossobuco and the Pappardelle al Chinghale. Both dishes were expertly prepared and melted in your mouth. My Mediterranean Salad was perfectly cool and crisp. Capping off the meal was a wonderful Bread Pudding, a type of Banana Fosters and a round of Sambucca. We never felt rushed, the table service was excellent, and the overall ambiance was warm and homey. Well done Bricco for a special night!
