Located in Boston's historic North End, Arya Trattoria features a mix of modern and old world Italian cuisine while paying homage to Massimo family roots from abruzzi influences. The menu is built on a foundation of simple, fresh pastas and antipasti, as well as a healthy dose of grilled meats, fish, and poultry dishes. Well-loved favorites like limoncello marinated shrimp, Cavetelli con Agnello, and massimo's grandmother's Porchetta

This was such a great hidden gem! We ordered the meatballs and they are a MUST. They were the best meatballs we've ever had. We also got the argula salad, lobster gnocchi, and ribeye. We didn't love the ribeye. Next time we'd order two pasta dishes, meatballs, and salad.

Our party of 4 were seated at a small table that should have served 2 people. There wasn’t room to put the appetizers in the middle and we moved the candle to another table. A nearby table of 4 sat at a much larger table. The food didn’t have much flavor, other than the Frutti de Mare which was so spicy it overwhelmed the seafood. I order this dish frequently from other restaurants and have never had it so spicy.

The owner at Arya was the most attentive, entertaining and welcoming people I've met in the restaurant business in a long time. The food was good, the setting was hip. The table next to us was extremely loud. Without them this would have been a perfect meal.

The eggplant parm was outstanding but the calamari was not. The lobster was tough (over cooked?) and strangely we could smell a vague odor of gas during the entire meal. All in all, not what we were expecting.

The staff was attentive but first tried to seat os next to table for 2 where an extra person was seated against the table we were offered. We asked for another table which we were given, but inquired about a better table we were told was reserved. We had reservations as well and did not understand why we couldn’t have the table that was available at that time. Our Caesar salads were wonderful; dinners were fine.
