Ryan C is an excellent server and a lot of fun to talk with at Prezza. The food is great and the restaurant is nice. A little fancy for a nice night out. Great wine list. Loved the shrimp d avolo with just the right amount of spice. read more

This happy hour is the reason to come! $1 oysters from 4-5pm every day. The service was incredible, the staff was very attentive and on top of everything. We ordered drinks and received them within a few minutes and same for our order of 24 oysters! I loved my experience here and will have to go back to check out their actual menu items. The happy hour experience was wonderful and I will go back for an actual dining experience soon. read more

We ordered food for take-out. Even with that, my pasta was hands-down THE BEST pasta I've had in Nashville.

Extremely disappointing dining experience. We came here hoping for good food for a nice date night on a Saturday night. First of all, the service was horrific. We were sat at a table up against a wall in the corner of the restaurant with barely enough room to move your arms without hitting the other table. The waiter didn't even attempt to make any suggestions (except to say that the short rib is his favorite appetizer, after we had already ordered). He said the bread would be coming out and we had to ask him again for it after our appetizers already arrived. For the food: Appetizers: Braised short rib - 5/5 Crispy shrimp - 2/5. Lacks flavor and is just crunchy Entrees Shrimp Fra diavolo. This one grew on me as I ate it. It started at a 2/5, but the flavor grew as I ate it. The shrimp and the pasta themselves were ok, but the sauce ended up being a 4/5 Meatballs - 2/5. Comes with a few meatballs, a random rib, and a piece of sausage. Overall very simple and not much flavor. We also did a half bottle of wine, which was fine, but definitely marked up more than normally would be at a restaurant of this quality. Overall, I definitely would not recommend coming here for a date night. The ambiance is definitely not good for that. If you are looking for an extremely overpriced meal with a group of people with mediocre food, this is your place. read more

The place is very clean and dimly lit. Great place for a date/gathering with friends. The service was great they keep checking up on you. The food is okay, tried the crispy shrimp, mushroom risotto, grilled octopus and Sunday special. The crispy shrimp was good. The mushroom risotto and Sunday special was okay. Nothing exceptional. The portion size is very big. read more

Our meal was so disappointing. The garlic bread was burnt. I can't believe they served it. We were hungry, so we ate around the burn on the other pieces. But, the whole basket was like that. The gnocchi bolognese was tasteless, and my husbands steak was tasteless. Honestly, we aren't picky or hard to please. Just yuck Our waiter was attentive, and very nice. The rest of our party was delayed at the airport, and the hostess was lovely about the change in our reservation. I did try to call ahead to inform them, but only got a recording. Sadly, I would not return read more

Favorite Italian high end bar and restaurant in the North End! The Ravioli di Uovo appetizer was so incredible that I ended up going a second time to order this! The beef tartare was one of the better ones I've had. The martini's were smooth and perfectly balanced...I highly recommend the pistachio martini which is served with pistachio ice cream in the center! The only critique I had was the gnocchi was quite tiny and not as fresh as the other restaurants I dined at in the North End. Overall, the bar tenders provide high quality service, and if you are looking for a classy bar this place is for you! read more

An excellent choice, with food that almost takes me back to Italy. Fantastic service, with comfortable seating that felt spacious despite being in the North End, and overall perfect for conversations over a great meal. We got the Mushroom Risotto for starters, and I was impressed by how quickly this was served. It was cooked just right and the umami flavor in each bite was so satisfying. The Smoked Mozzarella Ravioli is delightful, with the entire dish combining very well together, even with the rabbit! Their Truffle Tagliatelle special was yummy too. I'd definitely recommend this place for Italian food. Bonus tip for skipping street meter parking: there's an outdoor lot a 3 minute walk away that was $16. Find "286 Commercial St Parking". read more

The food was very good, but there weren't many options for people on a low carb diet or for the vegetarians in our group. The restaurant was extremely loud so it was hard to have conversations with friends. It was nice of staff to let us bring our own birthday cake in though! read more

The restaurant has valet across the street. So if you're driving a Ferrari or exotic car you can park it yourself. Now the gate closes after 12 AM. So going for a drink later you're going to be locked in there. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The prices a logical now a days. The appetizers are the best thing on the menu. But the main courses we got the branzino and spaghetti clams. Was not impressed or wowed. They state the make fresh pasta home made. Let me tell you how my spaghetti was. It was premade refrigerated and then boiled up for a few seconds to re heat and put on my plate. And it was all sticky together and not loose. The branzino did not seem fresh. Was not flaky and tasty. Most likely frozen and it was filet. Not whole. The expresso martini was not good at all, do not recommend. To sweet. Service though was excellent and extensive wine list. This is a great place to go after work and sit at the bar and grab appetizers. That's what I recommend. I will not be going back here. They get 3 stars and not 2. Because it was not that bad the food. But not what I expected a restaurant off Hanover street to be. Usually those ones in north end they blow your mind away with mom and grandmas in the kitchen. This doesn't. Me saying if I will go back or not says allot. That's how I review i restaurant. Will not be going back. read more

Prezza - There wine by the glass and bottle selection is great. - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We journeyed into Boston for dinner, planning to spend the night so that Wayne could catch an early morning flight. Part of the plan was to experience a wonderful dinner in the North End, something we've missed during Covid. We ended up at Prezza and had a fabulous dinner with awesome service. We arrived and were escorted to our seats and kind of left alone for awhile - seems there was some miscommunication which they quickly addressed and profusely apologized for. We had wonderful martinis Wayne's was filled with a giant stuffed olive - that went very well with the crunchy shrimp with cherry pepper aioli appetizer. I had halibut with chive risotto - to die for! Wayne had pea ravioli full of English peas, Jones ham, mascarpone, Pecorino. It was a wonderful dinner and I cannot wait to retur read more

My girlfriend went to dinner with two friends to Prezza, on the recommendation of a friend. Since I wasn't there, she wanted to bring me back something. So she got an order of ravioli, which *did* specify that it was exactly one piece. OK, fine: some places do this, and it works. My girlfriend thought it would be quite a sizable piece, given that it cost eighteen dollars. Allow me to repeat this: the piece of ravioli was eighteen dollars. When I opened the container she brought back, I thought there had been a mix-up -- but, no. What I had before me was a sad, dun blob of a thing about half the size of my hand. I was going to throw it away out of spite, but I did bother to take a couple of bites, just to see if there was anything redeeming. It was, without exaggeration, the blandest piece of ravioli I've had in my life, tasting nothing more and nothing less like a grim chunk of wheat-meal with a bit of astringency. Oh, and the interior was a raw egg. How generous! I had thought that ~Fancy~ restaurants had outgrown pulling stunts like this, but Prezza shows that such pretentious practices are alive and well. read more

What a fantastic place! The food reminds me of Italy, just as good! I had some spectacular gnocchi (best I've had) and my girlfriend had the raviolini and ricotta ravioli. The waiter was fantastic and brought my girlfriend two dishes for her birthday. The pistachio dessert was also fantastic. This dinner made our trip to Boston. Highly recommend. A bit noisy but that's too be understood as it was completely full. You need to reserve in advance for a table. read more

It was good, but there are better Italians/gourmet options. Cocktails were on point. Chicken park was a little burn though. The steaks were nicely prepared. Ambience was laidback but not stuffy. I would not consider this place for "fun" or for smaller children. read more

This is/was my 1st time in Boston and my fellow Facebook friends recommended this restaurant. I'm so glad they did! The food was absolutely outstanding (and I'm a huge foodie!) the service was too-notch (we sat at the bar) and the ambiance is very nice. Small but quaint. Definitely recommend if you find yourself in the Boston area. Make reservations! read more

Stopping in for dollar oysters, my group of 5 came in and were ready to get down for these well cleaned, easy to eat raw oysters. We ended up getting 6 dozen oysters; 3 dozen for the 2 orders on a cool iced plate with cocktail sauce and a cucumber vinaigrette that cleansed our palate. With our beer and heavier food that we had earlier in the day this quick meal really opened our stomach ups and made the rest of the day a little more comfortable and we were amazed that they were cleaned so well besides a few bites with shells but were clean off the shell that they just slide right off into our mouths. The atmosphere is very date like with low lighting and small 2 person tables but for us and the bar top enjoying a soccer game we were ready to party with sports or with oysters. I prefer the oysters! read more

After a day of touring Boston, we looked for a quiet place to sit down and enjoy dinner. Prezza is located off the main street, in a quiet section of the Italian district. We had the tuna tartare, mushroom risotto, the pork chop, meatballs, and gnocchi. Excellent service, excellent dinner, Very pleased we found them and saving for future visits to Boston. read more

Made a reservation at 4:30 when just they opened, so the place empty. Food was great especially the crispy shrimp. Spaghetti with clam was tasty but wish the pasta was more soft. Fish stew was alittle salty but the seafood was fresh. Creme brulee and tiramisu parfait was delicious, not too sweet. read more

Couldn't have asked for a better experience! The food was amazing, service impeccable and ambiance spot-on! Even my 10 year old daughters loved it! Amazing place to celebrate my husband's birthday.

We went to Prezza last night and it was amazing. We started with the meatball appetizer. Wow! Our entrees choices were the halibut and the swordfish. Our new favorites. The purée around the halibut just made the dish amazing. The smokeyness from the wood fire grill in the swordfish was out of this world. The bread pudding dessert is epic! The part that made the night come together was not the amazing wine list, but the knowledge, Ryan our server had of the wine list. He picked the most perfect bottle in the price range we wanted and the flavor profile that went along with our dinner. read more

Prezza - Swordfish - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Came here based on the rave reviews online for a special occasion, and my date and I were disappointed by the experience. The food was good, but not great, and definitely not worth the price. We ordered: garlic bread (which came out warm and crispy) "Ravioli di Uovo"- the pasta was hard and the butter sauce and overall dish lacked flavor tuna tartare- bland and not great quality fish branzino- very generous portion but extremely oily homemade meatballs- huge dish and nothing special read more

Great recommendations from server. All around approval from everyone at the table. Ordered burrata, octopus, ravioli, seafood stew, and scallops read more

I chose Prezza due to numerous recommendations of respected foodies and blogs online. They all touted the romance of the place so I took my wife on a date there. When we walked in, I must admit I was a bit surprised as it felt like an upscale sports bar upon first glance. We laughed at the first impression and began ordering after the attentive server came and promptly took our wine orders and letting us know the specials. She was particularly attentive throughout the meal without being intrusive or overbearing; a particularly fine balance of attributes that I like in servers. We were never left waiting for long periods of time between updates and/or refills of water or wine. She was also extremely pleasant and capable of answering all of our questions about the dishes and wine. Then there was the food... oh my... the food. This is the type of finesse and craft that only generations of Italians are typically capable of in my experience. We decided to share a number of dishes rather than order separately in order to experience the various sections of the menu. From the cold starters we chose the burrata and beet salad. The creaminess of the burrata and the tart of the beets and pistachio vinaigrette were a perfect pair. There were some micro greens on the plate as well but they honestly didn't add much to the dish other than some pop of vibrant green to the white and gold stars of the show. We then chose to do a hot smaller dish of the wood grilled octopus and squid with white beans. I've had this dish from here to Italy and everywhere in between including the Spanish versions at tapas restaurants and in Barcelona. I've had great versions and horrendous versions... and I'll tell you this: this may be the single best execution of wood-fired octopus OR squid I've ever had. Leaving the spice preference out of the equation for the variations I have had the tenderness of the meat was superb and perfect. There was no rubbery texture, no fishy smell, and just felt like it had been treated by a true expert with the Midas Touch. I've thought about this dish multiple times since we left, but I dare not try to recreate it, as I know I would only be overcome with disappointment. You can't go to an Italian place that makes their own pasta and NOT order the pasta. My wife is a snob when it comes to gnocchi, so I humored her to order it and see what all the fuss is about. The gnocchi was perfect and tossed in a luxurious veal stock and tomato sauce giving it a savory twist of a meat sauce without having to worry about the correct tomato-to-meat ratio. It was not overly heavy either which was a surprise as I expected it to have a certain greasiness to it but it was as smooth as silk to the bit and left no real trace of oil or grease afterwards. The dessert menu also looked fantastic, but we had already committed to Mike's Pastry; so we had to save that treat for another night Prezza, but thank you for the fantastic meal. read more

I came here with friends for a dinner and was very impressed! We got the white truffle pasta special which was absolutely delicious but a bit of a splurge at $60 a plate and split the scallops. They divided the scallops to separate plates which was a very nice touch. We ended the meal with complimentary desert and limoncello! read more

We were trying to get a reservation for 2 on a Wednesday but it was a 1.5 hour wait at Carmelina's so a guy in line ahead of us told us to check this place out. Down the street and to the right in a small alley/street. Nice ambiance, not too noisy to chat with others. Our server was so thoughtful and split our apps (octopus and soft shell crab), tuna tartare, and was super attentive. I would highly recommend. I usually go to Giacomo's but this will be in my regulars. read more

Went here recently for oysters and drinks- great oysters and great drinks! The service was quick and great, would recommend!

We had a 7pm reservation on a Wednesday night and it was a light crowd which for our party was just perfect. We had a wonderful server, Nicholas who helped steer our table in the right direction given multiple offerings on the menu were of interest. Nothing was rushed and the service was really great. Food had good proportion and the freshness of the pasta dishes you could really taste. we had the gemilli, bucatini and the gnocchi. All very good! The burrata appetizer with the roasted beets was excellent! Only very small issue (for me) was seasoning could have been better. If you're looking for spice or a dish to have kicked up notch, inquire with the server or ask for extra seasonings to be brought out. Other than that, this place was a great choice and highly recommend mid week dinners for what I believe is a more relaxed option than a table turning weekend reservation where part of the experience may be lost. Great job to the entire staff! read more

Incredible dining experience in historic north end of Boston. Upscale Italian, great ambiance and not to cramped. The wine list offered great varietals, accurate vintages, and appropriate pricing. We enjoyed a beautiful Barolo. Efrain, our server, was on point throughout evening. I had the filet, perfectly done. We shared a few appetizers (octopus was amazing) and also got to try some of their chestnut ravioli and scallops. Everything was amazing. Definitely our new spot when coming back to Boston from Providence. Great job to the staff. read more

Let's go with "impressed." There is a lot of Italian in the North End and they're all very good to excellent. Prezza is definitely up there with a changing menu and housemade pasta. They don't have a list of specials because the menu is printed that day. Awesome to know that everything's fresh. Bread at the table with a tasty olive oil while we looked over the menu. My eye was caught by the tagliatelle with clams. I was expecting something similar to "linguine with white clam sauce" and that wasn't this. Instead, a large bowl of very fresh pasta arrived shortly after ordering (the waiter explained that their pasta is made in house, so it doesn't take long to boil) with a dozen or so split clams. Interesting presentation! It was tasty and the garlic flavor was very apparent. I somehow managed to avoid wearing any of it and that's a good thing. Excellent service and a great meal. I'm definitely a fan. read more

Good flavors on all dishes, at times a bit heavy but definitely seasoned. Didn't get server's name but he memorized 7 of our 8 dishes. The one left out was meatballs, I was looking for more of loose, fluffy and fatty textures but was more tight and lean. Nothing wowed me but everything was above average. Lamb chops, cooked perfect. read more
