Monica's Trattoria

Monica's Trattoria, nestled in the heart of Boston's North End, is a true neighborhood treasure. Since 1995, Monica's has meticulously crafted every element, from handcrafted pasta and fresh-baked bread to the original family artwork and rustic exposed brick walls, all to craft a unique and inviting atmosphere. As the brothers say, "If you are what you eat, only eat delicious."

Best drinks in the North End. Could not recommend sitting at the bar/bar area with some friends. It has always proven to be a great time and the bartenders are extremely kind and will help you pick out a drink/customize anything. Highly recommend Monica’s, it is a North End...

The place to go!! The restaurant had a nostalgic vibe with the pictures and art work on the walls that showed the owner’s pride of their mother Monica. We started with espresso martinis and tasty appetizers. The entrees had the best homemade pasta! Monicastrattoria is a must if...

Great food, great drinks, great service. We will be back soon to enjoy this absolute gem of a restaurant. Delicious home made pasta. Friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Went with friends last night and had an incredible time. Service was impeccable, the food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was true north end style. I got the chicken parm with vodka sauce (amazing) and my husband got the scallops with cream pesto sauce and squid ink...

Had a delicious dinner with my family at Monica's! The food is amazing. Try the sweet potato gnocchi, it was excellent! My brother had the veal chop and said it was delicious! My nephew and his friend had the bolognese and they loved it as well! Definitely we will be back!

Friendly staff, beautiful building and location, food was incredible. Going to recommend this place, and will definitely be back!!

We had a family birthday, great vibe, food and service was excellent! Great spot, very special, Monica is very much alive in the north end!
