Bricco’s star has been rising steadily since restaurateur Frank DePasquale revamped the menu to feature modern interpretations of regional Italian dishes.

Bricco has garnished superlative reviews from food writers in Boston and around the country – Best Guaranteed Meal in the North End and Best Pasta in Boston just two of the most recent accolades.

The talented kitchen team creates “boutique” Italian food, so-called because it is unique, personal and created for a select and sophisticated diner. The food is complemented by an enoteca (wine bar) with an exceptional selection of all-Italian wines.

Bricco also offers a sophisticated late night scene. The chic and energetic bar serves up great one of a kind cocktails as well as brick oven pizza with gourmet toppings such as prosciutto and fresh mozzarella from Italy in addition with appetizer selections.

    I ordered a bottle of wine and the waiter brought a different bottle - more expensive, of course, without telling me any reason why. Surprisingly, the waiter also confusingly upsold the daily special risotto dish then immediately stated that he would not recommend it saying, “it wasn’t worth the time.” The food was OK, a fellow diner’s steak was over cooked, but everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals. In general the service was slow, we had to prompt the waiter several times - first to order drinks then, food, and so on.

    Got together with some women I hadn’t seen in years. The food was delicious! Everyone loved their meal. The service was excellent, attentive but not in your face. I know many of the restaurants in NE have a 90 min table policy but even on a Saturday late afternoon we were allowed to stay almost 2 hours and eat and drink and catch up it was a lovely afternoon. I would definitely go back. Just disappointed that I did not try the signature espresso martini. Next time …

    The food and service were exceptional. We arrived earlier than our late afternoon reservation time as it was quite cold outside, and were seated right away. The ambiance was also quite nice. I would highly recommend!

    Consistent high quality food and service - a great night with my wife after a long business trip for her! We have been patrons of Bricco for >20 years and the pasta with tartufo last night was the best of all time. And was fantastic to meet the next generation of waiters - Vinnie and his team were outstanding. Thanks again for a great night!
