Aqua Pazza

Stumbled across the little gem and so glad we did. Ivan, our server provided exceptional service making great suggestions and very attentive. The braised octopus was outstanding and the 7 Spice brick chicken was one of the most moist and tender dishes I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this cozy and inviting restaurant.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Aqua Pazza in Boston’s historic North End, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The ambience and service set the stage, but the real stars of the evening were the dishes we ordered. The Grilled Octopus “Positano Style” was a revelation. Each bite was tender, succulent, and bursting with flavors reminiscent of the Amalfi Coast. It’s clear the chef takes pride in crafting dishes that are both visually stunning and delicious. The Pappardelle al Cinghiale was another highlight. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the rich flavors of the wild boar sauce were both hearty and comforting, a testament to authentic Italian cooking. Aqua Pazza has left an indelible mark on my dining experiences in Boston. If you’re looking for an Italian eatery that goes above and beyond in delivering both taste and experience, look no further. Highly recommended!

This is definitely a hidden gem. We have traveled exclusively through Italy and everything we have tried here has been equal if not exceeding the best food we have eaten in Italy. Giovanni the manager remembers names and keeps the quality of every dish served. I highly recommend giving it a try, you will not be disappointed.

This place is great. Came here on a date after work because another oyster spot was packed. So we came here and sat at the bar , me and the boyfriend got the half seafood tower and it was delicious and the price is justified. The lobster and king crab were sweet with seafood flavor. The oysters were clean and sweet as well the typical sauces were good as well and very clean. We ordered another dozen oysters and got the short ribs and polenta and was very good, meat was seasoned to the center. Also got the deconstructed tiramisu and that was great as well. For the service, we sat at the bar and the bar tender was nice . The food didn’t come out wicked fast like a fast food joint, but came out at the right time and was great. After a long day at work I don’t mind a little time and space to chit chat with my company. We had a great two hour meal and didn’t feel rushed at all. It was also a busy summer night in Boston which is due to tourists so don’t expect empty restaurants. But overall a great place I’d highly recommend.

Without a doubt, the best Italian food and dining experience I’ve ever had. For starters, we had a bigger group. Aquapazza is a smaller restaurant and they were more than happy to accommodate our big group. THE FOOD- Absolutely delicious. Everything came out hot and fresh. From the pasta and the gnocchi, to the deconstructed tiramisu, all homemade and delicious! Our favorites were the chicken parmesan and cacio de Pepe. THE SERVICE- Without a question, THE BEST SERVICE I’VE EVER HAD. I have never met a group of employees that care about their customers more than they do at this restaurant. Our server, Allen, provided amazing table side service. He was Incredibly professional and personable. The manager, Giovanni, made sure we were all well taken care of and asked us multiple times if we had everything we needed. Lastly, the host, Bethany, was super awesome!! She talked to us for 20-30 min about some of the history in the area as well as more information about the restaurant in general. Overall, if you want to have great food with employees that go above and beyond for their customers, this is the place. Aquapazza is a must when visiting Boston!!
