About this place Trattoria di Monica

Trattoria di Monica is an Italian restaurant on Prince Street in Boston's North End, the old Italian quarter packed with trattorias, bakeries and cafés. It is a mainstream, gay-friendly restaurant, not a gay venue. The menu sticks to Italian staples, with fresh pasta and red-sauce classics at its centre. Dinner starts at 4pm on weekdays, with lunch service from noon on Saturdays and Sundays. Friday and Saturday nights run until 10:30pm and are the busiest; dining rooms in the North End are small, so book ahead or expect a wait. After dinner, the standard move is a pastry and coffee on Hanover Street, one block over.

My boyfriend and I were visiting last month in May. One of our friends highly recommended this place. We did have reservations however, despite sitting at a table, we ended up sitting at the bar, which was a great decision. Our bartender was absolutely amazing, friendly, and super speedy with our drink order and food. It turns out she was not a bartender, but one of the waitresses. Her name was Norma. So if you go to the restaurant ask to be seated in her area. She was one of the best servers I have ever had!!! oh and the food was exceptionally delicious!!! If we go back to Boston we definitely will be coming back. Thank you Norma for a great experience!!!

Scheduled a family reservation for graduation months in advance. Mom gets there first and notices how busy the restaurant is. Long story short my mom tries to ask to switch to another table that was empty *that was not reserved*, to which the hosts are rude saying that’s the table you get (a cramped one right by the open kitchen) and if she doesn’t like it she can “get out”. Unnecessary and rude. I understand being stressed but no need to be a jerk to customers for asking for a table. Get a grip.

I came here on Mother’s Day after being rejected from Tony and Elaine’s For dining alone. I was really embarrassed and my feelings were hurt, but my time here turned it around. I was greeted with a smile and welcomed despite being alone. I had wonderful service and loved the appetizer that was on special. Goat cheese stuffed zucchini blossoms— such a treat. I had the spaghetti and meatballs as an entree, the meatballs were spectacular and the pasta was al dente. They helped turn my day back around and I will definitely go back.
