About this business

Considered to be one of the more elegant Italian eateries in the North End, this North Square restaurant is neighbor to the Paul Revere House. The candlelit main dining room has small tables covered in crisp linens, and the romantic atmosphere makes it a good place to bring your date. The cuisine features fresh and contemporary North Italian cuisine. Try the Spaghetti Bolognese or one of the seasonal specials and wash it down with a pick from the extensive wine list.

So Disappointing – My fiancé and I thought we would start our 1 year countdown to getting married by celebrating at a wonderful restaurant where we would return to each year to celebrate our marriage. Reading the reviews and description of this restaurant ,we thought we were going to find it very romantic. First, after sitting in the car for over 5 minutes waiting for the valet attendants to stop speaking to their friends who were sitting in their car where customers should have been able to park, I started out of my car whe... read more

Back in heartbeat! – Dinner was great family experience for all of us. Mama Maria was a feast for the senses as we enjoyed our excellently prepared dinner. The waitstaff was very helpful and our teens had a truly enjoyable dinner. It was a great way to usher in a family vacation.

Highway Robbery – We went to Mamma Maria as a group of 11. The waiter asked if we wanted to have a few appetizers to share among the table. We agreed and he brought out a few appetizers for each person. When we got the bill, we found out that he had chosen two expensive appetizers and charged us for 11 of each, plus 3 orders of 3 other appetizers. In the end, our appetizers cost more than $400. The waiter also tried multiple times to upsell us on more expensive wine. It ended up costing us $100 per person for the meal (after... read more

very fine dining – yes, pricey, and i personally enjoy slightly more casual (upbeat yet casual) dining environments than this. excellent food, though. love their lamb gnocchi--VERY filling, but oh... so good. this place is "unique" in a sense that the establishment is located in a house (or at least the place was a house previously): you have to walk up the stairs into different floors of dining areas. it's not like you go in on street-level and see everything there at once. great ambiance for dates (if anyone's worth a pric... read more

Great food but....suspicious activity on my credit card the following days – We had a great time, had great food, and enjoyed the atmosphere. Yet, in the following two days after we dined there, suspicious activity started to show-up on my credit card. I hadn't used my card in several weeks (where it would be out of my possession to be processed) and I find this highly non-coincidental that on the day that I do, fraudulent charges show up on my account. I was forced to cancel my credit card and luckily was able to stop this ... read more

Lovely but overrated – The ambiance is lovely - the charming townhouse, very good service - but the food quality is uneven. Our party of four had 2 excellent appetizers (mushroom polenta and baked oysters) and two very average ones (bacon and arugala salad, lobster ravioli), and three very good dinners (rabbit and pasta, scallops and pasta, and gnocci carbonara) and one medicore one (the riboletta). For dessert, the tiramisu was terrific, the panna cotta very good, the chocolate cake dry and almost inedible. Overall, I'd say... read more

Celebrities and locals alike flock to this cozy townhouse on the North End's outer fringe for award-winning Italian cuisine. – The Scene The parade of limousines that continually clog North Square's cobblestone streets is a testament to Mamma Maria's enduring high standards and staying power. Patrons at this romantic, converted brick townhouse (dating to the early 19th century) can choose one of five distinct dining areas (try to snag the snug second-floor enclave, which holds only a single table). Service in all corners is ... read more

We love Mamma Maria – We have been enjoying Mamma Maria for many years. It is the closest thing to a classic European restaurant in Boston. The setting is completely unique overlooking this really old square in the North End. The food is absolutly authentic - don't know what the previous reviewer was talking about! Yes, it is busy, but that's part of the fun. They park you car, they are good with their reservations and the staff is always accomodating. Try to reserve on the many private rooms -great for celebrations. Highly ... read more

THIS PLACE SUCKS – I was really looking forward to dinner here with my family when they came to visit. I read good things. It was AWFUL. #1 - Upon arrival, the hostess was being yelled at right in front of everyone. I thought she might cry. The place was noisy, overcrowded and hectic. #2 no one who works here is Italian. NO ONE. The staff is all Moroccan. The food is barely Italian. It's mostly French/Morrocan. They serve some decent Italian wines... that's about it as far as authenticity. #3 The service was terrible: our wa... read more
