   The food is delicious. It was very noisy. I read all the reviews about being rushed, being from NY I am used to it. We were given the check without even being asked if we wanted dessert!

   Lobster ravioli was amazing! Penne pasta with red sauce was light and delicious.

   Great experience all around. Mussels were delicious and are the Ragu as my main meal. Delicious and a great price without lack of quality!

   I was very disappointed in this restaurant. It was very touristy and they brought our food out 2 mins after our drinks. The pasta was nothing special and did not taste homemade. Was expecting more authentic Italian experience.The waiter did the bare minimum. Would not recommend.

    We live in Boston and have gone to the north end on many occasions. This pasta (most of us had the lasagna) was terrible. It was supposed to have meat and there was very little. It was layers of pasta with no cheese or sauce in between the layers. And the sauce looked more like a vodka sauce. I had the ragu with penne. The penne was nothing spectacular and was over cooked. Ragu sauce wasn’t that good either. The meat was the best pet of the dish. Overall, there are many better places for tue money. I’ll never take my family back here.

    Thought the food was fine, but not great. Didn't love the cornmeal-type breading they used for the calamari and thought the chicken parmigiana was a little tough. Had good reviews so was disappointed, but maybe we just caught them on an "off" night. Love the vibe of the North End, though, so the location was great.

    This is one of our favorites in the North End. We have been here several times and it is always excellent. The pasta is homemade and perfectly cooked. The ragu was incredible, and the pesto was delicious. They very nicely added three beautiful grilled shrimp to my dish at my request. Service was excellent.

    To start with, the restaurant needs a good cleaning and some upgrading. We were seated, and served right away. We ordered a $99 bottle of wine. We then ordered the meatballsand the caesar salad to start. Both were average as best. Just as an aside, other tables received a bread basket, while we did not. We then had the lobster ravioli (which had good chunks of meat in it, and the sauce was good). We also had the chicken parmesan which was tough and lacking flavour. It should be noted that all dishes were brought so quickly, we thought we were at a fast food restaurant. A couple times throughout our meal, the server bumped chairs into ours, and never stopped to apologize. We were about half way through our bottle of wine when the check got brought to our table. It's a good thing we didn't want an after dinner drink or a coffee. We felt like we had to guzzle our wine. Even with the poor service, and being rushed, we decided to leave 18% gratuity. With so many good restaurants in Boston, don't bother coming to this one.

    We were seated right away. Greeted right away.. and then felt rushed throughout the dining experience. We ordered a round of drinks, again came out right away (which was amazing..) we ordered appetizers and dinner… which came out 30 seconds apart.. we had to ask waiter for bread, and never asked if we wanted another round of drinks. The food was good, size-able portions. But with all of the amazing dining in the North End, I’m not sure we would be patrons again at this restaurant.

    Great fathers day celebration at the restaurant. Super packed but we had reservations and got a great table in the cellar, nice ambiance. The portions were generous and the food very tasty. I had the pasta with seafood which was more like seafood with a few noodles—delicious! Others in my party had pesto, ravioli, and the four meat pasta special. We all enjoyed it

    Food was just ok, more for tourists than any serious diner. Service was rushed and barely attentive. Table behind us conducted a conversation laced continuously with profanity which was easily heard above the loud noise of the room, but no ine seemed to care. For that reason alone, I won’t be going there or recommending the restaurant.

    We’ve always loved Trattoria Il Panino but this time we were a little bit disappointed. We were missing a lace setting and had to ask several times, waited a long time over cooling dishes for Parmesan cheese. One of our party requested anchovies on his Caesar salad but it didn’t come with them and our other dishes were somewhat bland. Portions were impressively (but unnecessarily) large. No important critiques, but enough to downgrade a great review to a good one. Still we had a good time and our servers were very nice and pleasant and worked very hard.
