    Lovely ambience and delicious cocktails, we sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive and very friendly! The Matchatini blew my mind — not for everyone, but if you’re a fan of matcha, it’s a can’t miss! Delicious pastas, the vodka and limone were excellent. A little on the pricier side, but a lovely way to spend an evening. Definitely returning.

    2nd time here. Brought my brother in law and his wife this time. I remember loving the vibes so much that I forgot how good the food and drinks were. The lasagna is incredible. Such a cool spot.

    Red Fox is a cool place. Good vibe. Fantastic service. The drinks were outstanding and the food was solid. The downside is that reservations are scarce, you need a reservation for the bar, and you have a pretty strict 90 minute time limit.

    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.
