Bricco

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.

During my most recent trip up here I stopped in to enjoy some Italian food. We had been told Little Italy was a must go place for food. We were also told the Espresso Martini was delicious and one of the best the person had had. Nothing here was a disappointment. The drinks and food were so beautifully cooked and this was my favorite meal of the entire stay. It looked like reservations are probably a good thing to have as the bar was the only walk in place. It is a big bar and I'm so glad we got to try this place. Plus the Espresso Martini may be the best so far.

My first Dine Out Boston 2026 Winter visit: Bricco, awarded "Best Espresso Martini" in Best of Boston 2025. The award went to the cocktails; when it comes to dishes, while the portions were generous, the quality was relatively ordinary. Table Bread: The bread was a bit hard and prickly in mouth. Three sauces were served: cannellini purée was purely bean-flavor, light and understated; pesto had a rich nutty aroma and a subtle garlic aftertaste; roasted garlics were soft and delicate with a gentle garlic flavor. My personal favorite was the pesto—the most fragrant and layered. Meatballs: The meatballs were large, firm, and somewhat chewy, but not quite up to the claim of "Boston’s best from certified Angus beef" on the menu. The tomato sauce was average.
