Piccolo Nido

Amazing spot off the beaten path in the North End. Our table of 4 cleaned our plates, ordered desert, and cleaned those plates too. As we walked in, a patron leaving turned around and told us we were in luck, because this was the best restaurant in the North End.It's a quaint restaurant, with limited tables. Felt like a family owned and operated spot with incredibly friendly service. We were very well taken care of! Reservations are taken as well as limited walk ins. We were fortunate to get a walk in table around 8:30PM on a Saturday.The food was top notch. I ordered the homemade mushroom ravioli and it hit the spot. The sauce was so, so good. Get off the main drag and give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

Small place off the beaten path on North St. Away from the tourists packed up on Hanover St ....We were greeted by the owner/ chef upon entering ....very friendly waitstaff Apps were a antipasto that was great ...and an eggplant that was tasty. Huge pieces of Italian bread with butter I ordered a unique dish Chicken Frangelica. Two perfectly cooked chicken fillets in a mushroom and frangelica sauce, roasted potatoes and zucchini...very different and tasty. Other orders were a veal Marsala that I'm told was very good ,and another chicken dish that I can't remember the name of. Overall is was an enjoyable experience

Food was good, service was okay. All North End Italian places charge a tourism premium. The sizing is such that a person will typically need bread, an appetizer and a full entrée individually to eat to satisfaction, at a price point of around $60-70 a head including tax and tip.The mushroom farfalle was their best dish. The crespelle ai funghi were also a treat. Veal marsala special was done well. Gnocchi in a tomato sauce were just okay. It sounds like the personality of the chef can often add to the overall experience, but he wasn't present when we visited.

This place is beyond amazing. The owner goes out of his way to make you feel like family. Great wine prices and the best handmade pasta we have ever had!! Get the mushroom pasta!

Food was cold, food came out at different times, never received ordered drinks. Minimal interaction with waitressFood was not good at all, would not recommend.

We had such a sweet experience at this lovely restaurant. Traditional white linen table service. Wait staff were charming and attentive. Delicious meal. Low key quiet location. The owner, Pino, gave my daughter a blessing at the end of our meal. We felt well cared for. The "little nest" lives up to its name.

Very good food. Pasta was fresh with great sauce, veal chop was great. Service was excellent as well. Would definitely recommend.

The food was delicious and the wait staff was knowledgeable. Would definitely go again. Bonus - one of the staff had an amazing singing voice!

Terrible service and attitude from the owner. I was speaking in my first language and he insulted our group in front of children. It has been the worst experience we have ever had. I do not recommend anyone to ever come to this restaurant!! Aside from being rude, the menu sucks and he has no wine or drinks and what he has is overpriced and no good TERRIBLE BEYOND WORDS

One of the most charming and delightful foodie experiences in a long while. The owner / Host is Pino. An engaging and fun host. the food was extraordinary and checked all the boxes. felt like I was in the heart of Italy. Nothing pretenious. just a welcoming and homey environment serving outstanding , authentic Italian cuisine
