Bricco

Bricco is Boston's Best (at least in my eyes)! Our first time here and wow were we impressed.The North End has so many Italian restaurants to choose from but Bricco definitely stands out for sure. They are one of the first restaurants you see when walking down Hanover Street (from Faneuil Hall), they have a gorgeous bar (some spots do not have one at all), they have friendly staff, especially the bartender we had, a spectacular and premier wine menu for both BTG and bottle and incredible Italian food that makes you want seconds. Bricco is just one of the many restaurants that this restaurant group owns. They also own Assaggio, Aqua Pazza, and Quattro, to name a few. We only shared the meatballs since we weren't all that hungry and they were delicious. I had a few glasses of their Montepulciano which was fantastic and super smooth. We shared their award-winning Espresso Martini for dessert.Bricco should be on your "restaurant bucket list" as your next date night spot for sure. I also would recommend reservations, especially on the weekends. Or you can always eat at the bar too if they have room. Cheers to Italian food in the North End!

This is an espresso martini only review, because that is why I come here.I travel to Boston for work on occasion. There are many places I like to stop for a meal but only one that I come to for an espresso martini - right here. It is actually made with espresso (you would be surprised to see what some other places do) and offers killer flavor.We prefer to go straight to a corner of the bar and make our order. It comes quickly, and then we get to just sip and relax. Sure sometimes there is a bit of hustle and bustle but nothing gets in the way of espresso martini nirvana. The menu says the martini is famous. I do not know if that is true but it should be!

Our first time in Boston and we picked one of the best Italian places right off the first shot! We walked up to Bricco, not knowing what to expect and we left and felt like we experienced a little bit of Italy here in the Northeast! .When you walk in, they will serve you bread at your table with three types of dipping sauces. It looks great in the picture, but the bread was a little dry for my tastes.We didn't get the caprice salad which was phenomenal and colorful and looked great. Well presented! We then the ravioli with beef that was absolutely flavorful, and the sauce was outstanding!Great place to visit when you're exploring the north end in Boston

Good but not my favorite Northend restaurant. Service is amazing. Romantic setting. Business casual. The complimentary bread comes with three dipping selections. Garlic, pesto, and a bean dip. The entree portions are on the smaller side. Menu has lots of selections. Cocktail menu is pricey. I had the old fashioned that had great flavor but it was full of ice, which watered the drink down.

My husband and I flew into town for a quick weekend get away. We had dinner at another restaurant however we came here for our after dinner cocktail. Bricco's came highly recommended for their Espresso Martini. They did not disappoint, it was absolutely delicious. We will definitely stop back for food if time permits. Friendly staff and the ambiance was welcoming.

We sat at the bar and shared the Capriccio and bread. It was delicious and a perfect dinner after a huge lunch somewhere else. The atmosphere was charming with the white linen table clothes. Courtney, the bartender, was very engaging. She made the perfect Expresso Martini with tequila. Very tasty! Will definitely come back to try other items on their menu when we have more of an appetite.

Here for a work dinner but Bricco never disappoints. This place is always busy which tells you something. Sat upstairs by the window with a great view of Hanover street. Service was outstanding. The upstairs has a little bit of an old house feel but quite nice. Now the food. Appetizers were the octopus, meatballs, and shrimp scampi. All were delish but the octopus was the highlight. Perfectly cooked, delish. Then the entrees. The had the Bricco Brodetto, a full plate of fish and shellfish in a light savory delicious broth. Highly recommend it. Others at the table had an array of pastas and one steak. Everything looked delish. Dessert highlight was the deconstructed tiramisu. Outstanding. This is one of my favorite places in the North End.

Bricco was my last restaurant stop during my Boston trip. It's definitely a great place and we were seated by the window so we had a good view of the street. The menu isn't huge, but the food items our table ordered were very delicious. The service of degree in our experience here overall was very good.

Of all the Italian places in northern Bricco stands out more than the rest. They have the most comfortable bar and knowledgeable staff. The pasta is excellent but highly recommend getting one of the meat choices. I have been here multiple times and truly enjoy it every time.

Very lively atmosphere with a large wrap around bar! I heard their espresso martinis were delicious, but I ended up going with a cabernet since they had a good wine selection. The bread with trio dips was good. Service was good. I was quite disappointed with the tortelli pumpkin pasta...while the presentation was classy this was more expensive for the least amount of pasta I ate in the North End. I was hoping the taste of the tortelli pumpkin would at least be decadent, but the pumpkin wasn't smooth at all and the veggies on top were crunchy which really took away from the flavor balance; the dish could have really used some more sage. I wish I had gotten their gnocchetti sorrentina as that looked really good.
