Ristorante Saraceno

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

great customer service – I had Easter lunch with some friends there and I enjoyed very much. The service was really great and I liked the food. The place is really nice and clean.
Rudest waiters I ever saw – As we entered, there were two waiters staying about 5 feet from us, and not serving customer, but doing some clean up at vacant tables. Nevertheless, we stood there for about a minute, and even then the waiter only paid us some attention when I spoke to him myself. Then he said "Yes?" in intonation that suggested "What the heck do you need from me?". Then led us downstairs, where we sat for 15 full minutes without anyone paying us any attention at all. Ok, I understand it's supposed to be kind of ... read more
INCREDIBLY rude waitress ruins it every time – The waitress at this restaurant, who we have had the two times we've gone there, is the rudest waitress I have ever had. She literally rolled her eyes at very simple requests. The food is okay, but the waitress will ruin your experience. I suggest going ANYWHERE else in the North End over this restaurant.
Italian restaurant? A JOKE!!!!!! – We ate there this past weekend! Do yourself a BIG favor - pass right by it! The place was a "factory" turning people around with "canned" and "americanized" dishes of virtual slop. I KNOW ITALIAN FOOD! The garbage (in my opinion) they serve there is not Italian food and maybe one step above a "frozen dinner". The bread...the soft mushy bread? Cracked me up too.....! No Italian eats soft "americanized" bread! Antipasto? If you like escarole and a few slices of tomato that they call "antipast... read more
lousy – We went there ( a number of couples) on Friday night 7/20/07. We had not been there in about 4-5 years and at that time it was prrety good. WHAT A CHANGE! They "americanized" the joint in terms of food . We are born-in-Italy Italians that live outside of Boston in nice area. We generally go to "Il Tartufo" in Newton Centre for THE VERY BEST ULTIMATE ITALIAN FOOD. So, back to Saraceno's...............and what we did not like:. 1) Garlic..garlic..garlic..everything with garlic as if EVERY Italian is supposed to be a ga... read more
used to be good...maybe 4 years ago – Don't bother going unless you don't know any better! Food is mediocre and not truly Italian. Service is fair or worse. Skip the Italian antipasto unless you are expecting an escarole salad! Bring your own Italian bread - they don't kinow what Italian bread is. Good luck with waiters.And-hope you don't have to take a p-ss! TERRIBLE PLACE TO EAT!!!!!!
avoid this place – 02MAR2007 was the second time i had lunch here. the first time i was happy with the food and service. the second time this place sucked. there is an old italian waiter there with bad teeth who was very rude. i lived in napoli, italy for three years and ate at many italian places there. never had i seen someone so rude. i will not go back to this ristorante because that. they need to get it together with their help and maybe it will be a good place to eat.
Wow! We were NOT disappointed – We went looking for a good North End restaurant without the noise - a perfect place to meet and dine with friends that we have not seen in a great while. The atmosphere was very Mediterranean; make sure you ask to sit upstairs, even though the entrance may surprise you. My Veal Saltonboca was super, and the others in our party reported similarly on Veal Parm, Rissoto with Broccoli, and Chicken. We highly recommend this place and plan on returning soon. We had reservations and showed a bit earl... read more
Worst Service! Food was ok. – Usually we always know exactly where we are going in the North end but we decided to head in last minute with no reservations. We walked by and saw the restaurant was busy so we headed in. We were seated in the basement and it smelled old and musty. Our server was awful. I think he was just really busy with other tables. I noticed the other waitstaff completly miserable and I was embarrased the way she was treating her customers. It was just awful. Save your money and time
