Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Downtown Crossing

Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.

Wonderful service. Our server went above and beyond for my husband’s birthday.

Lovely neighborhood spot with great service and very good food.

Visited The Banks with colleagues for a work dinner and was pleased with the full experience - from host stand all the way through meal service. Host was accommodating our group asking to not be seated near the door on a cold night, server was attentive (albeit busy with many tables), and food runners were prompt and accurate. Food was delicious across the board - from soups to appetizers to mains - but the portion sizes were a little light relative to the cost. Not unreasonable for a special occasion or work event. Would gladly recommend and visit again.

This was our second visit to Tresca. For the first, we were privileged to sit at Table 77 (this was the jersey number of former Boston Bruin Ray Bourque who is part owner of this establishment), the lone balcony table overlooking Hanover Street. This time, we dined in the main restaurant which was pleasant. We had a pair of gift cards to apply towards dinner. It turns out, the vendor of one of the cards had gone out of business, rendering the card invalid. The manager visited our table to explain and offered to comp the expired card as a courtesy. In return, we gave the entire amount to our waitress Sydney for a job-well-done. The food was excellent and I especially enjoyed Anna Maria's meatball appetizer. Can't wait to return!
