Contemporary Italian fare meets a hip, urban hangout in the heart of the North End.

The Scene
Visitors to this popular Italian restaurant and wine bar may think they've taken a wrong turn (the North End is home to countless family-style, red-sauce joints). How else to explain such modern touches as a live ''kitchen-cam'' that allows patrons and passers-by to see chefs at work, or a hip bar area that stays open late to cater to a cosmopolitan, international crowd? Efficient servers deliver selections from an impressive Italian wine list.

The Food
While the handsome dining room's window-seats are among the area's best people-watching spots, Bricco's top draw is its extensive, adventurous Italian menu. Socially minded diners can make a meal of the many small plates and appetizers available (try the zucchini-blossom tempura with fresh mushroom puree). Entrees feature top-shelf ingredients like pistachio-covered Kobe beef and Parmigiano-crusted Australian lamb. For dessert, don't miss the tangy lemon-polenta cake.

Opentable Reservations

Bricco's star has been rising steadily since restaurateur Frank DePasquale revamped the menu to feature modern interpretations of regional Italian dishes.

Bricco has garnished superlative reviews from food writers in Boston and around the country – Best Guaranteed Meal in the North End and Best Pasta in Boston just two of the most recent accolades.

The talented kitchen team creates "boutique" Italian food, so-called because it is unique, personal and created for a select and sophisticated diner. The food is complemented by an enoteca (wine bar) with an exceptional selection of all-Italian wines.

Bricco also offers a sophisticated late night scene. The chic and energetic bar serves up great one of a kind cocktails as well as brick oven pizza with gourmet toppings such as prosciutto and fresh mozzarella from Italy in addition with a full dinner menu.
Open 7 days a week 11:oopm – 2:00 a.m.
