    Tresca's is always a win. Consistently great. I've been going for my birthday for nearly a decade and between the 5 of us we've tried just about everything on the menu and they're all great dishes! Highly recommend for special occasions, date nights, (their upstairs dining room is very chic) and downstairs, the bar area is great for casual gatherings and people watching--especially when the windows are open to hanover st.

    Nice restaurant and understandably busy as it was marathon eve! Staff were friendly, efficient and attentive. Service was excellent and food was served hot. Not the most flavor-some dishes we’ve ever eaten and not the cheapest but portions were huge!
