Recently my sister came to visit me in Boston for an extended weekend. For her last night in the city, we decided to cap the visit with dinner in the North End. After looking over storefront menus for about an hour, we settled on Bacco Ristorante for its cuisine and ambience (we wanted interesting high quality ingredients, vegetarian options, and a quiet atmosphere). We weren't disappointed!
We were promptly sat at a quiet table for two by the window, which was open to the street. We ordered the wild mushroom ravioli, the lobster ravioliand a bottle of merlot -- all were absolutely incredible!
The only drawbacks to the dinner were based on service. Although the service was not poor, it was unfriendly at times.
The food and ambience, however, made up where service was lacking. We had a wonderful evening, and I can't wait to return for a romantic date.
Pros: food quality, menu options, romantic ambience
