Mamma Maria

The lobster ravioli (which they sometimes serve as an appetizer instead of an entree) and the osso bucco are to die for!! The appetizers, many featuring seasonal ingredients, are also quite excellent. I especially look forward to the freshly baked bread, pesto and olives that they serve at the beginning of your meal - sometimes I ask for more it's so good. I also love the townhouse, "homey" feel and casually elegant decor.

Classy and cozier more upscale townhouse atmosphere than most of the North End bustling trattorias. Nicely executed tasty osso buco with risotto, very good fresh cod dish, the bolognese sauce was a little on the sparse/dry side. Tasty array of sautéed bay scallops, buratta, and roasted figs and prosciutto for starters. Reasonably priced wine list with nice array of selections. Professional service.
