Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Aqua Pazza in Boston offers a delightful Italian dining experience with "fantastic fresh pasta" and exceptional service. Known for its "amazing oysters" and inventive dishes, it's a great spot for special occasions. While the ambiance is vibrant, be mindful of the AC issues on hot days. Overall, a must-visit for a memorable meal.

    We went here to celebrate our daughter's birthday, the atmosphere was perfect. We were there on a Sunday. We were a party of seven, service was perfect, very attentive, courteous, they allowed us to take our time, we never felt rushed. Our meals were delicious, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. We will definitely return. We will be happy to recommend to family and friends

    A good dinner, food was good. But the prices overall add up so quickly that it’s almost impossible to have a dinner with a taste of it all its services under 400$ for 2 people. Wine list is very pricey without being extraordinary

    We just had our Christmas dinner here. All of the staff were so welcoming and very good at their jobs. I’m not sure if it was the owner who greeted us, but he and the other hostess were also wonderful. Food was great. We would definitely come here again.

    Aqua Pazza was my boyfriend’s favorite chicken Parmesan in the North End so far (we have been to many Italian restaurants in the North End). I got a lovely fish plate which was perfectly balanced with some veggies and grapefruit. The arancini appetizer was delectable with a twist on having white sauce and a peppercorn crunch. And to top it off they had an amazing key lime pie! Great portions for everything, I had some leftovers. The space had 13 tables, hard surfaces, energetic/loud and on a corner, so had many windows. We are excited to go back on a nice date night/special occasion in the future.

    Great as usual except this time our server noted they have no coffee or dessert. Not sure why in the past we always were able to order coffee

    Our experience was excellent from start to finish. The entire staff was attentive, courteous and friendly. Our waiter was very helpful in answering our questions with entrees. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the appetizer, meal and dessert. I would recommend Aqua Pazza to all who are visiting the North End.

    My husband and I made a 6:30 reservation at Aqua Pazza this past Saturday prior to going to the TD Garden's Comics Come Home event. Our table was ready even though we arrived a few minutes early, and the entire restaurant was full and buzzing with energy. The host explained that it was the absolute ideal time to have oysters, so despite not loving them we tried a few, which were delicious! The menu described the taste of each type so we could make a selection, and they were well-labeled on the dish, which included accompaniments. We also had the calamari, which include both shrimp and scallops - a nice touch. The manhattan my husband ordered was very good (good thing for $19) and my cabernet was a generous pour. We shared the monkfish, which was recommended by our server. It was fried to perfection and included arugula and lemon. The seating was very crowded since it's not a big place, which made it challenging for the waitstaff to move around. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and would definitely go back.

    Our server was great and so friendly and helpful. Crowded night and did not feel rushed in the slightest. Food very good. Smaller portions than other north end restaurants we’ve been to but very tasty.
