    We had a fantastic experience at The Red Fox in the North End. From start to finish, everything was spot on. The service was warm and attentive, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the music added a fun and lively energy to the evening. I ordered the pistachio pesto orecchiette, which was absolutely delicious. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. We also shared the Prosciutto & Zeppole appetizer, which was a great way to start the meal. My husband had the Linguine Con Vongole pasta and said it was also excellent. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the flavors really shone. The wine selection was good, offering great pairings for the dishes. Highly recommend The Red Fox if you’re looking for a delicious meal and a great night out in the North End!

    Phenomenal spot! Tried 7 menu items. One better than the other. Staff is on point, super vibey, cozy and warm. 90s sitcom basement feel and it’s perfect.

    Waited 15mins after our reservation to be sat down. Food and drinks were great the service as well. But the bathroom was disgusting toilet paper all over the floor, no hand towels.

    Great cocktail lounge the drinks were great, but the food lacked something. It was good food, but when I go to the North End I’m looking to have amazing Italian dishes with great flavor and it just was not there.

    We sat at the bar, Ali was our Bartender. She was very attentive and great to talk to. The food was delicious! We did not wait long at all for it to arrive, and it was very, very good. Overall, a great place for date night, great service, very cool vibe and the food was excellent!

    There are better places in the north end to go to. Seated 20 minutes past our reservation. Had to ask twice for our bottle of wine so it could ve opened. We ordered 3 desserts and only one was brought to the table. 20 minutes later when the waitress appeared we said we didn't get two desserts and to just cancel them. Also the espresso machine is broken so no coffee after dinner. Honestly, for $630 these are not mistakes that should happen and there are better choices in the north end.

    We loved our time at the Red Fox. We had dinner at the bar and the staff was incredible. Drink, food, ambiance 10/10. Make sure you try the handmade pasta special of the day. Chefs kiss!
