Bricco’s star has been rising steadily since restaurateur Frank DePasquale revamped the menu to feature modern interpretations of regional Italian dishes. Bricco has garnished superlative reviews from food writers in Boston and around the country – Best Guaranteed Meal in the North End and Best Pasta in Boston just two of the most recent accolades. The talented kitchen team creates “boutique” Italian food, so-called because it is unique, personal and created for a select and sophisticated diner. The food is complemented by an enoteca (wine bar) with an exceptional selection of all-Italian wines. Bricco also offers a sophisticated late night scene. The chic and energetic bar serves up great one of a kind cocktails as well as brick oven pizza with gourmet toppings such as prosciutto and fresh mozzarella from Italy in addition with appetizer selections.
“I would like to leave a review about the amazing experience we had at Wolmar Ceolin. The service was absolutely outstanding, the staff was incredibly kind, attentive, welcoming, and professional from beginning to end. We truly felt well taken care of throughout the entire experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the exceptional customer service made everything even more special. It’s rare to find a place where every detail is handled with such warmth and care. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Congratulations to the entire team for the excellent service! 👏✨”
“Everything about this place was amazing! The service was great and the food was out of this world! Everyone in our party got something different, so I had the chance to taste all of the delicious dishes. I ordered the Gnocchetti Sorrentina. I pride myself on my slow-cooked, made from scratch, marinara sauce, but the sauce on this dish blew me away! It was so rich (with lots of yummy mozzarella cheese) that I had to take half home with me. Some in my party bought a bottle of Travaglini 2020 wine. With the first sip, I wasn't impressed... way too dry. However, after it had a chance to breathe, it was wonderful with fruity notes. My only complaint is that the bar area had a weird smell. I couldn't quite place the smell, but it almost deterred me from eating here. I'm so glad that I decided to stay for lunch. I highly recommend that anyone who visits Boston stops at this amazing restaurant!”
“We were quickly seated upstairs by the window. Great location and the bar was humming. Food was delicious. Risotto (Seafood ) and pasta with a shared burrata salad between two of us filled us up. Service was attentive and the overall experience was really good. Easy to recommend and worthy of its reputation.”
“Went for Valentine’s Day with a reservation, but in the past have tried to walk ins with no avail (unless you want to wait hours). I had the 8 oz steak, which I usually don’t order, but was pleasantly surprised. The only annoying thing was that you had to separately order a side which was an extra cost but the mash potatoes were also super good. We also got the braised short ribs - also fantastic. I would definitely come back for an occasional dinner as it’s a little pricy but the food was great.”
“The atmosphere was cozy, the service was top notch, but the food, while aesthetically pleasing, is surprisingly quite average. We ordered zucchini flowers, a filet, double mashed potatoes, creamy spinach, chittarine, spaghettoni al pomodoro, farfalle tartufate, tiramisu, creme brulee and the bread pudding. Only two of those dishes stood out and that was the zucchini flowers and the tiramisu. Most everything else was pretty bland or average at best. Overall our experience was pleasant but we weren't very impressed with the food. Side note: replace dirty or ripped menus, it's not a great first impression to open a menu and see stains.”
