Owner Frank DePasquale describes Bricco as a "boutique" Italian restaurant offering modern interpretations of regional Italian dishes. The menu features items such as zucchini flowers stuffed with truffled ricotta cheese, Big Night Timpano (drum-shaped stuffed pasta w/ meatballs & a slow, braised meat ragu), stuffed lobster, as well as a five-course chef tasting & wine flight. Bricco's chefs use locally grown fruits and vegetables, domestic & organic meats & specially selected seafood. Bricco has garnered many awards such as TV Diner's "Platinum Plate", one of Esquire Magazine's "Top Ten Restaurants in America", and "Best Guaranteed Great Meal in the North End," from The Improper Bostonian Magazine.
Located smack dab in the heart of the North End on Hanover Street, Modern Pastry is a legendary staple of the notorious Italian District. Here you will find an eye-full of sugary sweetness from chocolate-covered almond biscotti to overflowing ricotta cannolis, gelato, and cappuccino. This family operated business is full of the diverse citizens of Boston on given day, which means, be prepared to wait in line. Modern fulfills specialty orders and ships nation-wide.
The North End is packed with delicious, comfortable restaurants, and Piccolo Venezia is no exception. On the main Hanover drag, it presents many of the staple Italian dishes, alongside wine and cocktails. Traditonal Italian fare, served in a friendly and warm atmosphere. The lighting and decor is charming and cozy, with fixtures that could have lit candles in them, and bundles of garlic hanging near pictures of saints in the corners.
The mussels are some of the best to be had in the area (try them white, with oil and garlic, as opposed to with marinara), and the appetizer sampler plate is delicious, with 5 or 6 to try, with shrimp, mozzarella sticks, cheesy bread, calamari, and others. The service isn't overbearing, water glasses are kept full, the post-dinner coffee drinks have copious foam, and there are plenty of large groups carrying on and eating delicious food all around you.
3 floors of distinct dining rooms and the North End's ONLY seasonal patio and rooftop dining. You'd think that the rooftop might offer you a panoramic view of the North End, but that's not the case. While it is open air, there's a sort of garden wall that runs up high on all sides and pens in a friendly bunch of people who love to chat, drink and smoke. In the summertime the patio is a total meat market, which is perfect if you are loaded with enough cash and the desire to get your buns gooched (girls) and your egos bruised (guys). Don't go if you're the least bit prissy or fussy. This is more like an amusement park than a restaurant, and an experience that you should enjoy at least once in your life.
