Reviews of Prezza

Contemporary restaurant, tends to get overcrowded but overall there is a reasonably distance between the tables and allows for privacy. The ambience however is a little dull and I guess it all boils down to the choice of colors, dimmed and limited spot lighting even during the day. Staff are all super busy but overall fine. Broad wine selection and food options. Walking distance from downtown and central location in Little Italy - very easy to find.

Booked large table for company holiday dinner. Brittany, assistant GM, was a total pro to work with. Somehow I messed up my headcount and we were 2 seats short. The Prezza team quickly moved some people around and saved me from total embarrassment with my colleagues. The food and service were wonderful and we were lucky to have Efrain as our server who is exceptional. We were a party of 15 and everyone loved their food.

Cozy and intimate Italian restaurant with great seafood and steak dishes. Recently took a visit for my friend’s birthday. We forgot to make a reservation in advance but were fortunate to find out that they had plenty of same day availabilities. Compared to other bustling spots in North End, the place had a more relaxed atmosphere, and we were able to snag a private booth seating which is a rarity in the area. We started off with the antipasto board and the spicy mussels which were excellent pairings with the wine we ordered. Chorizo in the mussels added a nice meaty flavor to the tomato stew, and we were all addicted to its rich flavors. From the entrées, our favorites were the fish stew and the veal porterhouse. The rich flavors of the marsala sauce were great complements to the tender meat, and the stew also had a nice burst of umami flavors that almost felt too good to be extracted from natural ingredients. Nevertheless, it wasn’t too overwhelming, and we wiped off the dish clean. Warm chocolate bread pudding was also a great finale to our meal, and our last minute birthday dinner plan was successful.

This place is a solid reason to visit the North End of Boston. The service is amazing and the food unreal. Their pasta could be some of the best in the northeast and their prosciutto is second to none. If it’s good enough for Italian mob bosses it’s good enough for me. Amazing drink selection and great bar vibe if a table isn’t an option. All around amazing experience.

We had a great dinner here. It is upscale but laid back. Service was friendly. To start, the cocktails are great and wine selection reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed the gnocchi Bolognese with its rich and meaty sauce as well as the lobster fra diavalo. Lastly, the veal Milanese was crispy and tender. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve had many spectacular dining experiences, but this might just be the best yet. Pure chance that we walked by and found the last two seats at the bar, the night was early. This was the Sunday of the Feast of St. Anthony and we totally lucked out without a reservation. The wine selection is phenomenal and menu is upscale Italian peasant style food. My search for Branzino brought us here and that is what I ordered. It was a no-brainer as to our second entree, a fire-grilled veal porterhouse. It’s been a long time since I had a piece of meat this perfect and, demi glacé?? Wow! This baby was tend-er and melt-in-your mouth. We devoured it and left nothing on the bone. (Is it proper to pick up the bone and chew it like a doggie?) we did. The branzino was succulent and surprisingly rich. I substituted fresh spaghetti for the potatoes and had the bright and lemony picatta sauce. Our bartender was attentive and professional even as the restaurant began to fill up in a very short time frame. We enjoyed seeing all the other dishes get brought to guests around us and wished we could have eaten more. We both decided when in Boston this is where we will dine every night. Elevated Italian comfort food personified. A delight to the senses.

Fantastic spot on the North end. Better than any other spots we have ate at. Had egg yolk ravioli, mushroom soup, crudo(December only 7 fishes menu), branzino, and gemelli cacio é Pepe with truffle. I only took A few pictures as the food was so good I didn’t even take a picture when my entree came out, I just started eating. Everything was amazing . Few pictures as the food was so good I didn’t even take a picture when my entree came out, I just started eating. Everything was amazing and I would eat there every day.

Food was delicious, server was attentive and support staff was on top of things. Espresso martini was weak, it didn't live up to the hype on the menu. Upon arrival, we were offered the worst two tables in the restaurant, but ultimately were happy with the high top. Will recommend Prezza, but for groups of four or more. Two-tops are not situated in inviting areas of the restaurant.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants I have, and will have ever eaten at! I ordered a chicken dish with mash potatoes and asparagus. It was incredibly flavorful, the chicken had a nice crust on it, and the portions were HUGE. The food came out extremely fast, I felt like I turned my back and there they were with the food. You will probably spend around 50 minutes dining. The wine selection is excellent. The staff was extremely friendly. There are days I just dream about this place. Highly Recommend!

This was our first dinner out in Boston and it did not disappoint! The Scallops were perfection and our waiter was attentive, kind and offered us 2 dishes that were not on the menu using a tuna that had been caught that morning. Everything was fresh and delicious we will return! Also try the espresso martinis, they are excellent!

One of the top 3 north end restaurants - in my book. They are really friendly and genuinely interested in making sure you have a great experience. Go for the veal osso bucco - it is outstanding. The saffron risotto and crunchy carrots pair so well with the veal that it’s a truly amazing taste, texture and aroma combination. Some of pastas are also spectacular- the egg yolk and cheese ravioli is a go-to for us. There are some interesting drinks on the menu and good wines. Strongly recommend the espresso martini - one of the best I’ve had. Roast pork was good and the gnocchi bolognaise was outstanding- great flavour and texture. The Bronzino is good if you like fish. Dessert however does not match up to the standard of food here - it’s not bad - but the bar is set way higher by the mains and the sweet course underwhelms. Not a worry as in north end there are many ways to satisfy that craving.

Went here with some colleagues being recommended by another restaurant. Overall, we were happy with the meal. The crispy shrimp was surprisingly good, properly cooked and with lots of flavors. The pork chop was a bit overcooked and dry, most likely due to getting that hard crust outside. It was also a bit underseasoned and didn't stand up well against the pickled vegetables it came with. The wine list was quite extensive with some very nice bottles listed. Value picks can be found if you know what to look for.
