Ristorante Saraceno
- Italian
- Boston, MA
About this business
Born out of our love of fine wines and traditional food, Ristorante Saraceno has become the premier location for fine dining in Boston's historic North End. In Italy, food is so much more than just a meal -- it's a celebration of culture, of family, and of life itself. After traveling the Italian regions, sampling different cuisines, and experiencing this special celebration, we decided to make our way back home and bring Napoli's best to Boston. In true Italian fashion, love and passion go into every dish we serve, along wi... read more

Pass by the place..go somewhere better – Less than mediocre. A DEFINITE "tourist restaurant" . WE know good food and we did not get anything beyond "just barely passable" at this restaurant. Not very good for the money.
Boston's unprofessional Italians – The opening and closing of the entry door made for a chilly eating environment. The waiter never came around to refill water. I had to flag him down. Bread was cold and tough. We were just NOT impressed. The food was good and that's about it...
THEY STOLE MONEY FROM US – We had a bad dinner here. The waitress was slow and rude. The food was bad. We left a small tip. When we checked our statement the next day with the bank, we found the restaurant CHANGED the final amount so it was EXACTLY 20% more than the original amount we were charged. This is ILLEGAL. This is STEALING. This restaurant will STEAL from you. Not to mention the food is HORRIBLE. DO NOT GO HERE.
Hidden dining areas make it a very cool experience – I went to Saraceno last week and it was awesome. It looks so small from the outside; little does one know that they have seating downstairs and also on two floors above the restaurant next door! The hostess took us up a flight of stairs located between Saraceno and the restaurant next store where we found cool, little nooks and spaces to enjoy your dinner. We ended up on the third floor which has a glass roof with vines and white, twinkling lights everywhere. I had one of ... read more
Untrained, Poor Timing, No Food or Wine Knowledge – I have a foot in the 5 star and in the 1 star camp. The food here is good, let?s face it. I have eaten here twice, once it was terrific , the waiter was great and the food more than passable and the value was good. Will I ever go there again? NO! Because I had a waiter from h*ll the second time. Why should I gamble with an evening? ?If we get a good waiter this place?ll be great,? is hardly a recommendation that gets my motor running. Imagine raving about a restaurant to yo... read more
Great Place to eat, one of the hidden jems of the North End – Ristorante Seraceno (ie the tunnel restaurant or knife, fork, spoon place) has very rarely let me down. The biggest mistake people make when entering a restaurant is judging souly based on bread. After spending 6 months living in Italy, i can tell you that this is AUTHENTIC italian bread. Skimping on the taste, the Florentine and Roman Italians prefer to let the taste of the olive oil overwhelm that of the bread. Though the service may not be the fastest in Boston... read more
Went downhil - TERRIBLE "Italian" food and "factory" atmosphere – The food is NOT authentic Italian. The place has lost it's "originality" and authentic dishes in past few years. We ate there last week and it was absolutely lousy! Never again! It's now a true "tourist trap" . Our advice - walk right by it!
Great Atmosphere, food and service are impecable.......... – Had my parents 50th Annv. last night (6/14) at the restaurant and the entire night was memorable. The service was attentive and gracious - the food was wonderful and most of all EVERONE had a fabulous time. Thank you to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Susan
A must visit – Our recent experience was everything but what a previous reviewer spewed. His/her lambasting was nothing close to our visit. The service was excellent, the ambience, yes small, was inviting and the food some of the best Italian I've had, whether at home in my mothers italian kitchen or dining out in NYC where I grew up. My wife had the carbonara, smoky delicate flavor with just the right mix of cheese and cream. My daughter had the lightly breaded eggplant parmigiana dressed with a slightly sweet marinara sauc... read more
