Cafe Amaro

Devine! Firstly, the place only fits about 15 people, so be sure to call or go online for a reservation! Without knowing how small it would be, I booked a reservation and was happy when we arrived and could be seated immediately!I went with my mom and her two friends, and everyone was blown away by how tasty the food was! We ordered the meatballs as a starter. Three giant, tender meatballs came with the order! So fresh and flavorful. Then, my mom and I split the bolognese and the burrata pizza (which we added prosciutto to): this was one of the best meals we had in Boston. The meat sauce in the bolognese and giant pieces of meat and they were so flavorful! The pizza was delicious! I'm not from the northeast and I normally eat thick crust, but this may have turned me into a thinner crust person! You could take the brick oven freshness!

Hidden gem in the North End, with a location that can't be beat (right across the street from Mike's Pastry). We ordered 2 Caesar salads and 3 pizzas. The Margherita pizza was our fave. The crust was amazing on the pizzas! Service was good too. Small place but when we came in a little after noon (shortly after it opened), we were the first ones in there. Seemed to be enough to fit others who came in shortly after. Big windows in the front with a view of the North End. Highly recommend!

Came here for dinner close to the 4th of July holiday. I would recommend making reservations ahead of time if possible since the restaurant is super tiny! It can seat maybe 15 or 20 people max. Because of the size of the place, basically everywhere is like al fresco dining. I got the chicken parm (my second time trying it here!) and it was good. The chicken cutlet was very crispy and the sauce was very flavorful and a little on the sweeter side. The portion was large which I appreciated and I could half of it home. Great spot to try in the North End!

This well-placed nook is tucked into the heart of the North End. It only seats about 15-20 people comfortably, but it has a great ambience with open windows facing the street. The waiter was polite and attentive. The food was beautiful but the flavor was not very impressive. The bland sauce on the linguine and chicken Parmesan was separated and pooled up on the bottom of my plate w/ Al dente noodles which I enjoyed. The chicken parm itself was crispy but not fresh tasting at all. The pizza margarita had exquisite crust with a good amount of Parmesan. Although the sauce was plentiful and tasty, it was runny. In this area, I was expecting to pay $$, but not for this type of quality.

Everything we got was amazing! The ceasar salad, fusilli with vodka sauce and the rigatoni with beef!Bryan our waiter was super helpful and kind. ENJOY!

Small quaint Italian place with great pizza. Thin and crisp. Great service. Easy to get a table. But reservations advised. Greatly recommended!

Our family of five was able to get seated for dinner without a wait, which was a pleasant surprise. Calamari appetizer was great. For entrees our group had pizzas, the tomato vodka pasta and the linguine with sausage - all entrees were great with nicely balanced flavors. Service was pleasant.

Fabulous cozy little Italian bistro with great food and attentive service! We stopped by for pizza and pasta on Sunday evening and were not disappointed! The atmosphere is friendly and we were chatting with folks at adjacent tables. Bryan delivered superb table side service and the food was exceptional! The fusilli was freshly made and perfectly cooked with vodka sauce that was out of this world! While the prosciutto and fig pizza could have come out of the oven about 30 seconds earlier, the flavors were fabulous! With very reasonable prices, this will be a go-to place whenever we're on the North side!

Incredible experience overall! I went just before the dinner rush and was able to get a table by the window no problem.I have a lot of severe food allergies and the server was very willing to confirm with the kitchen about the ingredients of the dish. Very accommodating and checked in on me during my meal. I really enjoyed the small and intimate space as well! I went as a solo diner and was able to take my time, take in the view, and enjoy some of the best marinara pizza I've ever had. Would highly recommend this place as an intimate, cozy restaurant with great service. I noticed the place did fill up quickly due to the small amount of seating, so would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Will be coming back here often :) (also reviewed on google maps)

We split a pizza and a salad. Very tasty. Ambience was cozy and the place is super cute. Go on a weeknight to escape the crowds.
