About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
A letter from the founder,

From the time I can remember, while I was growing up in this Italian neighborhood, the North End of Boston, my grandmother, Crocefissa Barbara Summa, was a great influence in my life.
It was at her dinner table that I learned of friendship and love, and by her side I discovered the art of Italian cooking. I learned it all begins with the best ingredients to bring out the simplicity of flavors of Sicilian cuisine as well as the many various regions throughout Italy. It pleases me that you selected to dine at La Summa. I know that your experience will be warm and pleasant, with culinary pleasures. - Barbara Summa Sullivan ( JULY 3, 1940 – SEPTEMBER 16, 2022)

    You can’t beat this little gem on Fleet St! Tucked away from all the busy and noise of the main area of the North End. Here you find the most delicious food and yummy drinks. The staff and atmosphere can’t be beat.

    Delicious fresh pasta in a cozy Italian restaurant! Perfect North End experience. We were lucky to catch a few Italian songs by two singers, which was beautiful.

    Small family-run restaurant serving traditional Italian dishes. Everyone at the restaurant was extremely attentive and warm. Sharon was wonderful. Ordering cannoli for dessert is a must! Overall, a very pleasant dining experience.

    It was pretty loud in the restuarant even though we had an earlier seating. The stuffed mushroom appetizer was bery good, arancini was ok (would have benefitted from some fresh mozz), while artichoke was not our cup of tea. Entrees where well portioned. Chicken Parm was very good, Lemon Chicken was good, and baked stuffed manicotti was good as well. The steak was very reasonably priced, but was a bit chewy. Wine list is limited, but had a really nice Barolo and Barbaresco (they were a major hit), and desserts were very good. Service was very good and friendly. Overall, we would go back here again.
