Maurizio's - Boston

Second time we've been here. Intimate, cozy space, with attentive, friendly wait staff. Food is wonderful with huge portions. The fried calamari was to die for: my innovative riff on sardinian pasta with ricotta sauce was out of this world. Steve's Linguine with salmon was great. We'll be back!

Took family of 4 down on Saturday in the summer. What a find! No line, great service, great suggestions but the food was fabulous. And the price was reasonable. Everything was perfect. Salad, lunch portions, sangria, everything. Sat in the cool quite for an hour just enjoying and resting. Walked out and wondered if I should tell anyone waiting on the street still trying to get into the tourists restaurants. My 17-year old said no, this was our find. Stay off the beaten paths my friends. Discover your own gems.

Great food and friendly service. This restaurant focuses on Sardinian cuisine, so it's not your typical red-sauce Italian restaurant, and is a nice change of pace for the North End. The salmon pasta with black fettuccine was very good with an abundant amount of fresh and smoked salmon, the saffron gnocchi were unique in a good way(if a bit heavy), the malloreddus alla campidanese was very hearty and satisfying. The Ossobuco, while not particularly Sardinian, was very flavorful and fork tender.

There really is only one Italian restaurant in Boston's North End. Great food, delicious wine and wonderful people. I guess that is why they have been there over 20 years! Do you know any other restaurant that has accomplished that? It's fun place too. We always have our Christmas party there and if I'm in town I make certain to stop in for a bite. Enjoy.

The bread and oil were amazing. The house white wine was delicious and reasonably priced. My fettuccine carbonara was fantastic. The service was not bad either.
