The staff were friendly and the food was great! I got the Pappardelle alla Bolognese and it was absolutely delicious! I definitely finished every bite. The tiramisu was also awesomely delicious. The place is small but there is no line unlike other popular Italian restaurants in the area - which is a definite plus in my book. This is a hidden gem that is definitely worth a try. read more

My family and I ate at Euno for a graduation dinner. It was our first time here and we were warmly welcomed. The food was great across the board. We tried a couple of the apps and I was able to sample a little of everyone's meal (rigatoni w/eggplant, veal piccata, veal quattro formaggio, and linguine pomodoro), as well as dessert.The quattro formaggio was more like veal parmesan, but was still good. The portions are pretty large and the food is delish. What really struck me about this place is how friendly the staff is. We were treated like famiglia! They have 2 rooms- upstairs and the wine cellar space downstairs. Unlike most restaurants in the North End, this is a good place for large groups. read more

I would rate this establishment with a negative 3 stars if possible. What is expected from a restaurant:( NORTH END LOCATION) service quality food quality organization( work flow) ambiance The only one I cannot rate is the food as I sat with my Boyfriend ( yes we had a reservation) for 45 minutes and did not even receive bread or wine. We were told 4 times that our orders would be taken. Where as a party of five standing at a small service bar ( no reservations) were being doted on ( wine bread etc..) by the same waiter who could not take our order. My polite /shy boyfriend ( and adorable if you are reading this) said we should wait as we had tickets for theater in an hr and felt we could not get served in time elsewhere. I said lets go and we did. I am sure from other reviews that the food is decent - but the management is lousy and it is not romantic - the cellar is a cellar and it does not exude warmth in anyway. I guess I was fooled by the Zagats review - I will go on word of mouth for the No. End in future. N.B. went to touristy lower priced Assagio told them our time constraint and had the same dishes we would have ordered in 15 minutes for at least 10 $'s cheaper - decent food at Assagio BUT EUNO stole our romantic date!!!! read more

Went to euno last night for a spontaneous dinner with a friend and was seriously impressed. The mushroom and truffle gnocchi was hands down the best gnocchi I have tasted in the north end. The artichoke starter was fantastic, and the caprese perfectly classic. For dessert, we experienced the flaming creme brûlée, tiramisu and chocolate mousse- for not much of a chocolate dessert person, the mousse blew me away. You must try!! Over all, the service was very attentive, food exceptional, and from our lovely window table, I couldn't imagine what would have been better. Very glad to have gone out last night. read more

I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews here for Euno. Is it my favorite restaurant in the North End? No. Did I enjoy the food and would I come back again? Definitely! I've eaten here twice - once with my family and once with a friend. I had a great experience both times. When I ate with my family, we sat upstairs, and when I ate with my friend, we sat downstairs. It's definitely quieter and more romantic downstairs, but eating upstairs is great as well. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and I love the exposed brick and the decor. It really feels like an old Italian restaurant. The only con is the very small awkward waiting area near the door...ther'es not much space there! I found the staff to be super friendly. The food was great and no one who ate with me said otherwise. For me, the gnocchi fungi really stands out. Give Euno a chance! read more

Thank you again, Euno, for making our visiting relatives feel so welcome. Our waiter, Richard, is a remarkable host, with old-world charm and a knowledge of his menu that all North End servers should emulate. The upgrades on wine and the complimentary cordials capped off another memorable Euno visit. read more

The place is cozy, and a great place for dates. The gnocchi was amazing, and the wine suggestion was great. I'd give 5 stars, except, they didn't list the prices of the items in the check. Given that the check looked a bit, errrr, heavy, I was wondering if they charged me for whole bottles. Of course, this being a date place, I didn't get a chance to ask. read more

The atmosphere is fantastic! I went on a Friday night. They had a guy singing predictable stuff (Frank Sinatra, traditional Italian songs, etc.). He was very entertaining; even started interacting with the crowd on the street. The food was great. I had linguine with anchovies, capers, olives and tomatoes. I also tried my wife's bolognese, which was quite good. I really liked the fact that the menu had some interesting stuff on it, instead of just the usual dishes you could get at just about any restaurant in the North End. The only downside is the price of wine. We will definitely be back. read more

Don't come here if you actually want to eat dinner. We're not sure what we did wrong but we could not get the server to take our order (we waited forever, tried flagging him down multiple times, etc.). When we finally told him we were leaving he was suddenly willing to take our order. Sorry, too late... Oh and I'm nine months pregnant and was really hungry. Not cool. read more

First time going and went as a party of 4 and loved it. Highly recommended this hidden gem. Didn't have dessert but apps and main course we're great. Have the artichokes for an app. Won't be disappointed. And ask about their fish of the day read more

Came here with a newly engaged couple and my wife to celebrate. I loved the ambiance. We started off with a glass of wine and some bread while reading over the menu in full. We ended up splitting the caprese (great) and calamari (just okay). For the entree, I ended up ordering the Pollo ai Quattro Formaggi, which was a very generous sized portion and took it as a challenge to finish it all. Was very delicious. Would definitely not be opposed to coming here again on my next visit. read more

We had a horrible experience here on Saturday, May 9. Even though we had a reservation for a group of 4, they had no space for us. I wish they would have just been upfront and we could have gone somewhere else - it's not as though there aren't other options in the neighborhood. Instead, after avoiding us and giving us the runaround, they seated us at a table jammed into the one beside it in an awkward and uncomfortable configuration. Thank goodness after about 20 mins (and still no service) they moved us to one end of a large table. However, it was almost an hour before we even got water and after one waiter asked us three times if anyone had explained the menu (umm, he had an hour ago) someone else finally took our order. One hour and 40 minutes later we got some bread, and two hours later we were served dinner. The food was fine, but everything else was horrible. The group was new to each other and nobody wanted to cause a fuss around people we didn't know that well, otherwise we never would have stayed. With so many other wonderful restaurants in the North End, I won't go back to Euno. read more

Bad first impression... a nasty bleach-like smell. We ate upstairs, with the front of the restaurant opened to the street. Food was good but pricey. Four salads, four entrees, five glasses of wine -- $200. Caprese and Caeser - good but not remarkable. Linguini with clams - good. Pasta a little too al dente. Chicken parm -- again, good but not remarkable. Roasted chicken - my friend said it was quite good. We skipped dessert, opting for pastry and Gelato on Hanover Street. Service was good, until an annoying gap between dinner and getting the check. Not very impressive, I will probably not go back to Euno. read more

First off, my experience was so terrible that I felt the need to make a Yelp account in order to post a review. This review is not about the food but rather the service, specifically the behavior of our server who also was the restaurant's manager. Our meal, though slow to arrive, was very good. Still, the service was some of the worst I've experienced. After being seated, our waiter greeted us while coughing aggressively and sniffling. He then proceeded to tell us he had "allergies." Allergies, they were not, he was very sick, much too sick to be serving food in a nice restaurant. Our food took a very long time to arrive which gave us plenty of time to watch our waiter serving food to tables after coughing ALL over it. It was disgusting. When he came to drop the bill he said, "your food is being packed up by one of those people from a foreign country." When he came to pick up the bill he apologized profusely saying, "I can't wait on 50 tables without good support staff and these guys can't speak english. If I were in their country and couldn't speak their language, I'd be out on the street." He didn't read the horror on our faces because he continued his rant, while coughing, blaming the poor service on his busers and food runners rather than on his own poor judgement as a manager. Bottom line, the manager of Euno is inappropriate, socially unaware, and a health hazard. read more

Went there for my birthday, food was amazing, really love this place,will come back soon, very soon!

I think this is the best restaurant in the North End. Every time I come here the food is fantastic, the wine selection is great, and the service goes above and beyond. One night, after waiting in the cold for a table, the hostess had a free glass of champagne for all 8 members of my party as we were seated. That's the kind of treatment that keeps you coming back time and time again. read more

I took my girlfriend (a vegetarian) to Euno two weeks ago (a Friday), and we were both very pleased with the experience. We had an 8 PM reservation and arrived a few minutes early. They were happy to seat us, and gave us a great table away from the door (it was cold and windy that night). She started with the euno salad, which she loved. She normally orders with dressing on the side, which she neglected to do. Much to her delight the salad came perfectly dressed for her liking so it was a non issue. I had the a sweet sausage/fried polenta cake appetizer (it was a special that night) - holy hell was it amazing. A little truffle oil and melted mozzarella. It was incredible and they should add it to the menu. For entrees, my girlfriend had a pasta dish with sauteed eggplant. I forget the name of it, but she loved it. I had the veal milanese which was perfectly cooked. I'm normally hesitant to order veal, as usually you get 'veal' - aka tough and chewy crap. This dish was the real deal, and there was a ton of it there. In the 10+ years I've lived in Boston I haven't had a veal dish that was this good. Highly recommended. My only complaint was that the restaurant was a little informal for the prices they charged. We were dressed nicely, but some other patrons came in yard work worthy clothes. No big deal, as the food and service were great - it just was a bit of a disconnect for me. That said, I will definitely go back here and am recommending it to everyone I know. read more

Great food! Very Italian with great seafood. I had a great swordfish special with seafood risotto. Most dishes are around 20 so go ahead and treat yourself. read more

Do NOT go to this restaurant. It was an average over priced food and BAD SERVICE. OWNER IS RUDE. So many better options in north end. AVOID this one. read more

We had a great experience. The prices were reasonable, the food was outstanding. The gnocchi confughi was outstanding as was the lobster ravioli. read more

Food was good but the wait staff was very rude. Had a party of 10 seated at 730 and they told us at 8 that they have another reservation after us at 9. Never experienced having the waitstaff aggressively rushing us. read more

We have dined at many restaurants in the N.End. This place goes to the top of the list. Delicious food,service and intimate atmosphere.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING WAS SENT TO THE MANAGEMENT, THEY DID NOT RESPOND! Tuesday evening [8/25/2009], myself and my date had dinner at your establishment. The selection of Euno was not based not on prior experience, the recommendation of friends who had already dined there, but solely on reviews he found online. Let me add that he was trying to impress me. Needless to say, we were both disappointed. Why you might ask?: 1. While we appreciate your efforts at authenticity, please work with your staff on pronunciation. If you can't perfect or even provide a reasonable semblance, it's comes across as a cheap imitation. If the food is great, it will speak for itself. 2. We were helped by two servers which is overkill. Understandably, this is not NYC and a 5-Star restaurant, although it always helps to have goals. 3. When asked by the first server, how my meal was I responded, "the fish was less than fresh" to which I got a blank stare... When asked in follow-up by another server -- your maître'd perhaps -- how my meal was, I responded that I had told the servers, that "the fish was less than fresh" to which I got another blank stare. Seems like we are perfecting a technique here! Needless to say, that after sampling the fish, the rest went untouched - that would have been a clue! 4. For dessert we opted to have the crème brulee. It came to table already on fire and the server was not comfortable with the flame; I asked that he put it out, because I was getting blackened as opposed to just glazing the sugar and he blew on it - spittle and all. Need I say more? So, he paid the bill, we departed and stopped at another restaurant for dessert and cappuccino and to them I offer my heartfelt thanks for saving the evening! Would you come back?! read more

my family dined at your restaurant on 5/21 as a graduation celebration. We had a group of 14 and sat in the downstairs area of the restaurant. The ambiance was nice and the menu looked very interesting. Unfortunately, our meal was ruined by bad service. They were very slow getting our entrees delivered to the table, and then it took about 20 minutes from the first plate delivered to the last plate. Some of our party had finished their meal before others even got their plate. Some of the entrees were cold and they delivered the wrong entree to one person and didn't discover the error until the meal was half eaten. When I complained, the waiter did not apologize or offer any compensation, he excused the poor service saying that the kitchen got overwhelmed with other orders at the same time. The final insult was that a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill - we had no opportunity to adjust the tip to match the poor level of services. Defintely a place to avoid if you have a large group! read more

Had dinner at Ristorante Euno for the first time this past Saturday evening and it was terrific! From the time my friend and I arrived we had phenomenal service during the entire meal in this great Salem Street location. My friend had been there before and said the restaurant had a really fun North End vibe and she was right! We were greeted by Michael who was extremely welcoming and so nice to seat us right away even though we were 20 minutes early, it was no problem. We had at least three staff/servers who were taking care of us the entire time so we never once had to ask for anything. Our main server, Anas, was delightful! He gave us great recommendations on the wine, told us if we didn't like his choice he would take it right back, and he was right, the 2012 Montelpulciano d'Abruzzo, Talamonti, Tre Saggi was the best! My friend and I both opted for the Swordfish special which was served over a nice seafood risotto and it was delicious. Crème Brulee for dessert was yummy caramelized with Sambuca. We also met Robert, the owner, who was extremely attentive and stopped by our table to introduce himself and chat. We enjoyed ourselves so much we ended up closing the place! Ristorante Euno is definitely a hidden gem in the North End. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful! Probably the best red sauce I've ever had with the rigatoni meal. My son had the monk fish special, and it was special. Our server was great. The atmosphere is relaxed and homey. The room downstairs is a great place for a private party. Highly recommend. read more

I had dinner at Euno on May 28th and loved it. I usually go to Giaccomo's, but the line was over 20 people long so we wandered about until we found a place with charm... that didn't have a gigantic wait. We were immediated seated at a center table-- a little squashed between two other tables. After about 10 minutes a better table opened up and we were offered the better seats which we gratefully accepted. I had the Frutti di Mare (pasta with seafood in a red sauce), my bf had the seafood risotto. Bread with a dipping plate of olive oil, pepper and parmesean were offered right away. My pasta was fresh, well cooked and packed with flavor. I don't do dairy, so I didn't try the risotto, but my picky bf said it was great. I used to live in Italy and he is from the Adriatic region so we know good cucina italiana when we taste it. The restaurant is charming, with a vaulted brick ceiling, low lighting, and a large open window in the front of the restaurant. The tables are a little rickety (sp?!). The service was subtle but effecient. In the end I was very happy to stumble upon this quiet little gem! read more

Super cute spot, very attentive waiter, excellent food. Why four stars? I can't put my finger on why they didn't get the fifth. My swordfish was amazing, the dates pasta sampling was to die for (get the alfredo), and the starter of the goat cheese stuffed artichoke was delicious. Very accommodating, very quaint, but I'm just not sure I'd HAVE to go back here. Great time though, hit it up definitely once. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. The artichoke heart appetizer is pricey, but unlike anything I've ever seen. I had the gnocci in a cream sauce with gorgonzola, mushrooms and truffle oil, and it was easily the hit of the table! Tiramisu was delectable, and the cannoli was easily the best I've tried. Full bar, but drinks were priced high, and had the bite that often accompanies cheaper liquor. Ambiance was excellent, and the cute brick interior had me feeling like I was in Italy. Highly recommended! read more

A great dining experience in every way! I went with a larger group and they were able to accommodate reservations with no problem. We were sat in the basement. I had absolutely no issue with this as the area is so nicely decorated that you don't even realize you are in a basement. Our waiter was wonderful, attentive and great with making recommendations. The gnocchi was to die for. It was very rich, but delicious. I will definitely be returning to Euno! read more

It was a quiet Sunday night in the North End. Just two parties were seated. Still, the service was outstanding. The chef took the opportunity to present us with a complimentary mozzarella course. We both loved our linguine putanesca. We also enjoyed a simple salad and a wonderful dipping oil for the bread. Cozy place for dinner on a chilly night. read more

Great food - great service. A small cozy Italian restaurant in the middle of little Italy.

I just called to try and make reservations for a birthday party and "Richard" was too busy to take my phone call because of a "full dining room" His name is utmost appropriate to say the least. He told me to make my reservations myself on open table or call after 9 pm when it was convenient for him. As someone in the Customer Service industry, I believe I would have been fired. Do yourself a favor, look elsewhere in the North End. Lucia's, Fiore, and ristorante Saraceno were much more pleasant and accommodating with customer service. Very disappointed seeing as I had been at Euno's many years ago and loved it. Thanks "Dick" we will never return thanks to your awful attitude and customer service. read more

I was walking down Salem St in the North End looking for a place to have dinner. I passed this place and looked at the menu. I recently moved here and while I have tried a few places, I had never heard of Euno. Thought we would give it a try. OMG, was I glad we dined here!!! The ambience is awesome, small place...background music included Italian opera, contemporary sounds and even some Frank Sinatra...the right volume, great cool place on a hot summer night. Not rushed, pleasant wait staff and one feels like they could be in Italy at an off-the-beaten path locale...I haven't even mentioned the cuisine yet. We started with the calamari - if you are into the heavy battered greasy variety, this isn't for you. It was a perfectly battered, more calamari than batter and a nice touch of fresh celery root on top, the meat was super tender....dee-lish. My husband had the grilled salmon - excellent...he said is was the best he's had. I had the lobster special, over the top - whole lobster with clams in a slightly spicy red sauce served over their homemade pasta. The wine list is perfect - I had the Italian white pinot and it was very nice indeed. I think this is at the top of our list for dining experiences in the North End. We WILL be returning soon!! read more

With so many options in the North End, this should be the last on your list. Terrible terrible service, mediocre food that's over priced and dessert that's bitter. Avoid. read more

No question about it. Euno is a spectacular spot. Goat cheese stuffed artichokes wrapped in prosciutto are a must. All entrees have been Damn solid in our experience. Good wine list. Seems to draw fewer tourists than other North End spots. read more

This place is a true gem in the North End. Small, intimate, and just far enough off Hanover Street to avoid some of the madness. We were able to get a reservation for four on a Saturday morning for that evening. We shared the calamari to start, which had lots of flavor (the leggy pieces, yum!). For dinner we indulged in both a pasta dish and a steak. Everything was delicious! Nice wine list, too. read more

We go here often. The food is spectacular and the service is always excellent. It has the best Bolognese in the City.

One of the best restaurants in the North End. Tucked away on Salem street. Always outstanding service. Understated elegance. Great for a romantic evening. Also great for groups of friends and families. Was there last night with a group of 6, four of whom were from NYC and have a very high standard for dining out. They all raved about Euno. We ordered pasta, veal and seafood and it was all sublime. Really appreciated the waiter suggestion we cut back our app order. Loved the wine list which has some great bottles in the $40-50 range. Will be back soon read more

I live in in NY. I make it a point to never eat at the same place twice when i travel. This past weekend i went out to eat in boston. Rarely do I even remember the name of the places I eat. Let me just say, Euno etched its name deep in my memory through amazing service, accommodations and terrific food. We had a group of us. Appetizers were recommended to us. I have to talk about the calamari, which is one of those dishes you never seem to mind when it is mediocre until you get a portion that is done right. Euno did it right. The breading was light and airy and the meat was firm but not rubbery. We actually ordered another plate when the two didn't make it back around for those wanting seconds. Everyone at the table ordered different entrees. My wife ordered papaerdelle ragu. The sause was thick, not runny, so you know it was reduced down and simmered for a long while. Not to mention, full of herbal flavor. I had the sea bass. Thick cut of fish, pan seared buttery, crispy skin outside, but light tender and moist on the inside. My risotto was creamy and rich perfect to compliment the delicate fish. One of my friends had the gnocchi fungi. Home made little pillows of potato pasta. The sause was amazing. Rich and creamy but not too salty. Perfectly balanced. At the finish of the meal we had a spread of desserts. Rum fired creme brulee, tarrimassu and a delicious espresso ice cream with dark chocolate chunks inside all made a lasting impression on our final course. Inventive cocktails, wine, savory food, a welcoming atmosphere and being treated as if you are in your own home, all made for an amazing experience and one I will not soon for get. When i come back to Boston, i may break my own rule and go again for another round at Euno. read more
