" Cantina Italiana is certainly a gem in the North End! You can’t go wrong with any of the pasta dishes. I had the spaghetti alle vongole and it was heavenly with an abundant portion of clams. The decor and setting provide a unique Italian vibe, reminiscent of Italy itself. The service was excellent, and I really appreciated the attention to detail. On the downside, it was quite crowded, which made it a bit loud. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who often seeks out authentic Italian cuisine, I was eager to try Cantina Italiana. The restaurant's reputation for serving homemade pasta and authentic sauces certainly holds true. The risotto was creamy and perfectly al dente! However, I did feel that the service was a bit slow, probably due to how packed it was on a Saturday night. Nevertheless, I appreciate their dedication to maintaining a cozy atmosphere and handling large crowds. I will be back to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant dinner at Cantina Italiana. The lasagna was cheesy and hearty, but I found the menu options to be limited on vegetarian choices. The server was friendly and efficient, which made up for the lack of selections. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming, which added to the overall good experience. I would consider returning if I could bring a larger group and share more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Cantina Italiana, we decided to give it a go. The restaurant itself is adorned with lovely Italian decor that captivated us upon entering. I ordered the chicken parmesan which was decent but perhaps a bit under-seasoned. My partner had the seafood pasta which was bursting with fresh flavors. Our server was welcoming and very attentive. Overall, a good experience and we might come back to try other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Cantina Italiana for a special anniversary dinner, and the food did not disappoint! The seafood special was the highlight of the evening—loaded with fresh shrimp and squid. The portions were generous enough for us to share, which added a lovely touch to our celebration. The restaurant was buzzing with activity, which we loved! The staff was on their game, making sure we had everything we needed. I’ll definitely book another table here soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cantina Italiana was a darling find! The authentic taste transported me right back to Italy. We had a large family gathering, and they truly catered to our needs, ensuring everything ran smoothly. My highlight was the tiramisu for dessert—definitely one of the best I've ever had! The service was spot on from start to finish. I can't wait for another opportunity to visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Coming back to Cantina Italiana was a no-brainer for my wife and I during our recent visit to Boston. The first time we came, we couldn't get enough of their creamy Alfredo sauce, so we made it a point to return. The staff was impressive; they remembered us from before and catered to our requests without hesitation. We shared a dessert of homemade tiramisu, which was the perfect ending to a lovely meal. Highly recommend this spot if you're seeking traditional Italian hospitality. " (*Curated Review*)
