    My appetizer was mediocre (aranrici?) for the price, however everyone in my party thought their dinner was phenomenal- lasagne, veal Parmesan, chop salad and pork chops. ,

    Great customer service. Our table was there for when we arrive at 7pm. Food was very good. Waiter Philippe was very accommodating. Met Owner Rich, came over to chat with us. We spoke about our homeland. Will go back again.

    I can not say enough about how fantastic our meals were. I have eaten at many of Boston’s top restaurants and I would say Tresca has surpassed them all. The Lobster Ravioli Alfredo was amazing with a full lobster tail, and jumbo scallops and shrimp . Definitely best of Boston. Chef Rich and Polina our waitress made it night we will not soon forget. From the minute we stepped into Tresa it was as if we’re were with family and treated like kings and queens. Chef Rich cannot thank you enough for taking time to talk with us and offer your expertise of your menu. We had multiple appetizers and sipped a few expresso and lemonello martini’s each item was excellent. Your personal touch made this dinner so memorable and I will definitely be back again and again . Thank you Chef Rich and Polina 🥰

    Tresca is always amazing ! Everything about it is spectacular! Chef Rich is outstanding and makes every visit incredible. We live in Florida and visit about every 6-8 weeks and when we land at Logan this is our first stop.
