Casarecce Ristorante

Visited here on an NBA game night at around 6pm and luckily nabbed a table for two without a wait (a queue formed soon after). Staff and service were excellent, and the food was very good too. I knocked the food down to 4/5 for a couple of reasons... The calamari felt more quantity than quality, and there could have been more marinara sauce with the chicken parmigiana. But the chicken parm was otherwise superb, very tasty and a very generous portion. We also had bruschetta and butternut ravioli, which were superb. Would happily return when next in Boston.

We had dinner on a Saturday. The service was terrific. The casarecce lamb ragu was amazing, the lamb was so tender, and the ragu sauce was fantastic. I also got the chicken risotto, and it was very bland, no flavor. The chicken did have a little flavor, but none for the risotto. I had to add salt, and I never add salt to cooked food. The restaurant was extremely loud, I could barely have a conversation with my girlfriend. Small, intimate, and close proximity to other people eating might be the Italian culture, but it's my least favorite.

my new favorite restaurant in the North End! We had the caprese to start which was absolutely incredible. The homemade bread that came for the table was a perfect combination for that appetizer. For entrees we got the Lobster Ravioli and the Pesto Gnocchi. Both were very good, especially the Pesto Gnocchi, which was so tender and melt in your mouth and you could tell how freshly made it was. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and will definitely be back.
