    Chef Ansara was fantastic!! 4 of us came up from Providence which also has great Italian food. Staff, food and ambience was amazing. The owner took the time to introduce himself and make the night very special.. 10 out of 10.. probably be the only Place I visit moving forward in the North End!!! Coming from an Italian..

    We had a lovely time at Tresca- dimly lit with a moderate noise level- close seating but not so much that I felt our conversation was being overheard all the time. The food was delicious- we had Mussels, Scallops, and the Chicken Marsala and all three brought smiles to our faces. Two breasts for the chicken Marsala so I had leftovers too! I’d definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice date spot.
