    Service was amazing! From the waitress to the manager to the cook, all fantastic! The stuffed meatballs were amazing & my friends loved their meals! I wasn’t too crazy about the risotto scallops; personally, I didn’t think there was enough flavor, too many vegetables. Also the wine by the glass options could e expanded, but nonetheless an amazing experience & night!

    Great ambiance and attentive, friendly service. My husband and I were underwhelmed by our food, but it could have just been what we ordered. Our friends raved about their food—the chicken parm and seafood fra diavolo. Our server was very friendly and the right amount of attentive. It was a great evening and a good, cozy place to catch up with friends.

    Tresca is top notch Italian food. We stopped in for a quick dinner before a Celtics game and it was perfect! Service was impeccable. Prices are pretty good. Highly recommended.

    Amazing Italian food with huge portions. I had the chicken parmesan which was one of the best I have ever tried. My wife had the seafood which was great. The owner, Rich walking around and talking with the customers was outstanding. I definitely recommend this place for great Italian food.

    Always a great experience and food is the best in the north end. We celebrated my friend’s birthday tonight before the game and they will all be back. Rich and the crew are well worth the visit.
