Prezza - Doliii Prezza? I love it - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We had a reservation and we were seated right away. The service was not what we had expected. The server was more attentive to surrounding tables. He checked on us once. We had to flag him down for more water, another martini and the check. The restaurant itself was nice. It was not so noisy that we could not have a decent conversation. My daughter got the Branzino and I got the Eggplant parm. They were both delicious. read more

I enjoyed my time at Prezza. The meatballs and the Ravioli di Uovo were good. I was honestly, truly surprised with Prezza having egg yolk ravioli on the menu since I haven't found a place in Boston that serves it. To my delight, it cooked properly due to how delicate egg yolks can be. I had the lobster pasta. It tasted good. The lobster flavor was incorporated into the sauce. It didn't taste like it was slapped on there. The fish stew was fine, but it tasted like the seafood was frozen. The service was pretty regular and efficient, and the ambiance was something that stood out. It definitely seemed a lot more friendly and community-like compared to other restaurants. Unfortunately, the pricing was honestly the low-light, given how high it is. 8.3: Food was good and worth a visit. Lots of good aspects besides the pricing. read more

We celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary at Prezza. The food was outstanding, but the service stood out. Our waiter was personable, patient and stayed with us for extended times to tell us about what was good and gave recommendations for each course. We had the clam chowder to start and got garlic bread - both were excellent. The clam chowder is a twist that we hadn't had before with mashed potato and fried clam in the mix. The garlic bread is out of this world. For main course we both got the gnocchi, was outstanding. The waiter also recommended the corn ravioli because corn is in season and would be sweet, but we both enjoy gnocchi and so when he recommended that we couldn't resist. For dessert we got crème brûlée. They also gave us small brownies with a candle, and had a card in the table when we arrived congratulating us on our anniversary. I would 100% come back to Prezza. read more

We had a really nice dinner at Prezza. Not your typical North End eatery, the dining room is spacious. We enjoyed friendly, efficient service along with delicious food. We dined on a Monday night, and were able to take advantage of their smaller plate offerings, perfect as we were traveling and did not want to have any leftovers to take home. The smaller sized portions (and price) were more than enough for us. If I see meatballs on the menu, I need to try. While they were tasty, I wished they were served a bit hotter, as our plate was just slightly warm. The cacio e pepe with truffles was delicious. Not the usual taste/presentation that I am used to, but delicious. It was a cold and wet evening so we decided to try dessert in house, even though we usually walk around to a cafe. Nice offerings, and we tried the assortment and were pleased. An all around nice dining experience from cocktails, bread service through dessert. Give them a try when in the North End. read more

North end staple - this has a perfect mix of high-end steakhouse, Italian fine dining and great bar / cocktail program. Started with a great shrimp appetizer with a couple of glasses of wine (very heavy pours! Greatly appreciated). Entrees include steak, chops, veal, pasta and seafood. We had the Veal Chop and the Pork Chop (Specialty of the House). Both were outstanding. Had pasta on the side - also very good. Finished with Bread Pudding - from start to finish 5 stars. The staff was attentive, the bar was loud, the Red Sox were on the TVs in the bar - great experience. Good Scotch and Bourbon selection. You cannot go wrong with any of the wines BTG. Seems like a local place where you might see your next-door neighbor sitting at the bar right next to you. read more

Prezza was phenomenal, as was our server, Paul. I had already decided before going that I'd get the Gnocchi, and he recommended it as well when we mentioned getting pasta. He also suggested one of their best entrées, the Crispy Pork Chop. Both dishes were outstanding, especially the pork chop. Their peppers are soaked in vinegar, and they were incredible paired with the pork chop in one bite! Given Paul's great recommendations, I let him choose our dessert, and he came back with the Bread Pudding, which was truly out of this world. Thank you, Prezza and Paul, for an amazing dining experience and unforgettable food! I highly recommend Prezza--and if you can, ask for Paul as your server! read more

There is something unique about strolling through the crowded streets of the North End, with so many strangers all eagerly awaiting a delicious meal...or stuffed and content after having just finished their meal. The vibe just seems to get everyone salivating with excitement. Prezza delivered and met our lofty expectations last night, as six of us enjoyed a lovely dinner. We were nearly drooling over our and each others entrees, and everyone enjoyed their respective dishes. The meat lover of the group, who ordered the Meatball, Sausage and Ribs, raved about the soft and flavorful meatballs and mix of meats with creamy polenta. And each bite of the rich gnocchi bolognese was a decadent treat, with hearty creamy mushroom flavor. On the lighter side, the seafood dishes were also fantastic, including the surprisingly filling fish stew. Though the flavors were mild, the variety of perfectly cooked fish was impressive, including 1/2 lobster, large chunks of swordfish, jumbo prawns, mussels, squid and clams. The wood fired charred bread was great with the broth...too much fish and not enough bread is a brilliant problem to have! I did manage to steal a bite of the tuna steak, which was also fantastic and looked beautiful over the fregola salad. Paul provided our table with great service, and we never felt rushed, so we enjoyed our relaxed dinner together and will return! read more

We came here and had a large group. They were able to accommodate us ahead of time with a reservation and we had a really nice table at the front of the restaurant which felt private. Service was very good and they kept checking in on us. We had a variety of different appetizers. My favorite one was the meatball. For entrée I had cacio de pepe, which was outstanding and one of my favorite things that I ate the whole trip that we were in Boston. read more

Stopped in for quick drinks before a reservation at another restaurant. Super clean, well-decorated and elegant armosphere. Bartenders and staff are mature, professional and attentive. They also seemed to know many patrons and welcomed them warmly. Drinks were good. Menu looked great. It's on my short list to eat at next. Well done Prezza. read more

This is such a terrific find! Really enjoyed the chill vibe here. Loved the modern decor! seats were super comfy...had the grilled asparagus, which was delicious. Also, had the stracciatella soup, which was very, very good. So fresh & delicious! Tried some of the tiramisu and that was incredible, too! Bucatini pasta was fantastic! So flavorful. Would have liked butter to accompany the bread. The bread was very fresh and soft. Service was good. read more

The service here is exceptional, especially when it comes to accommodating large parties. The bartenders are truly cocktail craftsman and they have an excellent selection of wines. I'm not a huge fan of squirting pasta, but there's is one. You should definitely try. They work around everyone's dietary restrictions, which is great for my group. One of my favorite things about this place is that dishes are served family style. read more

If you are in the north end, this place is a must. After a flop of the first restaurant we went too, we stumbled into this awesome joint and were kindly greeted and seated. We split an app and an entree and both were plated separately and brought out to us. The food was fantastic, the best Italian meal in the north end hands down. It came with bread and olives and those were also fantastic. Our waiter brought us out a wine to pair the meal and it was the perfect match. The place has spacious seating and even a bar with tvs to catch the bruins if needed. read more

We had an amazing dinner here after a less than stellar experience at Neptunes a few blocks away. I'm so glad we came here instead. The sangria was very refreshing and had a great flavor whilst not being too heavy. The beet and burrata cold appetizer was incredible. They serve fresh bread with warm olives in oil and I will dream about that. We had the scallop entree and the mushrooms were almost the star of the show. The flavor was deep and buttery and the scallops were cooked to perfection. We also ordered the broccoli rabe and this was the only thing I wouldn't get again. It had a slightly bitter tang I wasn't a fan of. However the vegetables were cooked well. The tiramisu parfait was also a solid dessert choice. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant on a Saturday night in Boston, we had no reservation but managed to get a seat due to a last minute cancellation This restaurant is nestled on one of the side streets in North End. The ambiance is nice - dimly lit and it was packed. We are vegetarian and there were not a lot of veg options at the menu but our waiter said he could accommodate custom orders. We got a primavera rigatoni pasta with red sauce and a butternut squash ravioli. Both were INCREDIBLE. My primavera pasta was so tasty - the sauce was beautifully seasoned with tons of garlic. The butternut squash ravioli was decadent, sweet and salty all at the same time. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente. Absolute treat to come here - will be back next time I'm in Boston. read more

Enjoyed the food a lot but the overall experience was a bit of a mixed bag. First of all, both the squid and octopus and the tuna tartare were delicious. Overpriced but anywhere that has not fried squid in the US is great. Large portion of tuna tartare without. A bunch of filler or sauce added. Hot and dirty martini was not good. It was neither hot nor dirty. The decor was fine, pretty minimalist. Our waiter was good but all the staff asked 5-10 times to take our plates while we were still eating which makes you feel like I'd rushed. Overall enjoyed it but not wowed. Definitely cost more than it should have. read more

Great spot in the North End. The bar is an excellent place to catch a game and grab a bite, and the dining room is equally impressive when you want a proper sit‑down dinner. The service and food are consistently phenomenal. One request from a loyal fan: please bring back the cacio e pepe gemelli dish -- it was my absolute favorite, and nothing has topped it!!! read more

Prezza is a place that feels very much like somewhere you don't find but someone recommends. Just one street off the congested north end path it feels a little hidden. You step inside to a very sleek restaurant with a wonderful collection of different artistic pieces. I'd made a reservation the day before but even being a Monday they were filled. Our server, Nicholas, had that very Bostonian charm and definitely gave me a few laughs throughout my meal. He recommended a riesling and chardonnay for me and my friend that we really enjoyed. We had complimentary ciabatta bread with vinegar filled with olives which was good. We also got this unique shrimp dish with beautiful plating and a great crunch texture from the toppings wrapped around it. My favorite dish was definitely the corn raviolini. It's funny because it's what my friend ordered and I had hesitated getting it because I was sure about it. Another guest in the restaurant even commented on how delicious the dish was as they had ordered it as. The menu doesn't just have pasta but also seafood and meat so there's something for everyone. This would be the place to have a fancy dinner or have a nice work dinner. I cannot wait to visit again! read more

Perfection at Prezza! One of the best meals I've had in years. My husband started with the mozzarella and prosciutto, simple but flawless, perfectly seasoned with just the right balsamic, salt, and pepper. I had the half portion of the gemelli mushroom pasta, absolutely out of this world--followed by the Bibb salad with walnuts, blue cheese, and a light, perfectly balanced dressing. His pork chop was perfection, not a crumb left. Even the crusty bread was legit. And the pistachio ice cream with amaretto cookie crumbs? The best I've ever had. A total gem and will dream about it tonight!! read more

Liz was our Barmaid/waitress. Very personable And efficient. Sat at bar on a Sat nite around 5 pm. Perfect time to get a seat ...we had reservations at 530 but rather sit at bar if possible. It's where all the action is along with a few TVs to watch the Sox game. Apps were meatballs in a very good marinara sauce along with mussels in a spicy marinara sauce laced with chorizo. Yum. The soft chunks of bread cane with and olive oil dip with actual green olives in it. I personally like butter. Entrees were a huge thick portion of chicken Parm on homemade pasta with a great marinara .... I got the shrimp Fra diavolo. Awesome over homemade pasta and a very good tasting marinara . The girls split a tenderloin with mashed and say it was delish. Overall a good experience on Fleet st. We like trying different places in North end and this one ranks up as one of the top of my list . read more

From start to finish our dining experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was elegant and comfortable. Our waiter, Efrain, made our evening enjoyable. His recommendations were spot on. He sensed our wish for a leisurely meal and served us accordingly. He accommodated our desire to split our entrees be bringing us each our own plates. The food was excellent. The gnocchi were light and flavorful. The meatball and polenta entree was rich with a deep and complex flavor. Efrain gave us good recommendations for wine to accompany our meal. I highly recommend this restaurant. Efrain was truly a superb server. read more

Best authentic Italian restaurant in the North End. (And I've lived there more than 20 years). Everything is homemade by the chef. It's a small, cozy atmosphere that's extremely warm and inviting. My favorite time of year there is the fall when there's butternut squash and wild boar ragù on the menu. But any time of year is great too. I've held many VIP events there and the staff are always so accommodating. Fabulous place! read more

Last night, went to Prezza for the first time. Was excited because I love its sister restaurants,Tonno Gloucester and Tonno Wakefield. Short walk from North Station and the Garden! Beautiful restaurant! The staff are superb! Polite and friendly and on point! We had the meatballs, tuna crudo, and crispy shrimp for appetizers. Fabulous! No pictures. We ate them too quickly. For dinner, we ordered crispy pork, tomahawk veal chop and tagliatelle Bolognese. So good! For desserts we had flourless chocolate cake and a special bread pudding in whiskey sauce! Great restaurant for a date or a chance to catch up. Tables are not on Top of each other and restaurant is quiet compared to other great North End spots! read more

We live in California, but this is our number one go to place. We always bring people here, but are always return customers as well. The customer service is outstanding. Our reservation for seven was easily accommodated and a beautiful seat for our special reunion. All the employees were positive and happy. Paul, our server was over the top accommodating. My grandfather was a chef from Tuscany so I'm quite familiar with Quality:) Italian food. That saying, Prezza is my fav in the North End. read more

Outstanding food in this North End restaurant. Started with the meatballs and the grilled clams. Excellent on both counts, I especially enjoyed the clams which was a large order of grilled clams with sausage in a tomato ragu. Don't sleep on the meatballs either, they were also excellent with good garlic flavor and perfect texture! For my entree I had the scallops which were about as close to perfect as I've ever had. They were served with chopped cauliflower over a silky smooth cauliflower puree. My gf had the gemelli pasta cacio e pepe. She loved her meal but I was a little surprised to see prosciutto and mushroom in a cacio e pepe. Not to nitpick but that was not an authentic cacio. Her son had the gnocchi bolognese. That was a spectacular dish! For dessert he had the canolli and cookie dessert, he loved it. The restaurant is super busy and loud but to me it adds to the vibe. It's a great place to enjoy outstanding food. read more
