    Service was excellent. Waitress was very patient as my wife and I were meeting some former friends from college and it had been 40 years since we had seen each other. We were talking so much it took a while before deciding what to order. Never once did we feel rushed. Food was excellent, friends got the Pumpkin Risotto special and they both enjoyed (served in an actual small pumpkin), my wife got the scallops with risotto and I had the Veal Parmesan. Maybe a bit overpriced but to be expected from one of the better Italian restaurants on Hanover Street, especially with food costs these days. Overall extremely happy with the overall dining experience.

    We really enjoyed our meal at Tresca. The atmosphere was amazing and our food was excellent! We got 3 different types of pasta at our table and they were each delicious and perfectly cooked! The chef/owner even stopped by our table to chat with us which felt really special. Would definitely dine here again.

    Cannot compliment enough! From the perfectly chewy and warm foccicia at the start, to the perfect bolognese, to the best donuts we've ever had- we had an incredible time. The service was outstanding, everything was delicious, and the chef visited everyone to check in. He truly cared about the food and experience which shined through all evening. Loved it!
