" Cafe Amaro is hidden away in the North End and offers one of the best Italian dining experiences. The arancini was perfectly crispy, while the rigatoni bolognese had layers of flavors that transported me right back to Italy! Service was stellar; attentive without being overbearing. Just a heads-up about the reservations, though—definitely recommend booking ahead! This is one spot I'm definitely going to revisit soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is definitely a must-visit if you're in the North End. Cozy atmosphere, with authentic Italian comfort food. I loved the gnocchi and would recommend them to anyone! Our server was friendly and made sure we had what we needed. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a nice find during our visit. The food was good but could've been better; some of the flavors fell flat. Service was polite but could have been more attentive. The vibe was cozy, which was a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience at Cafe Amaro. While the service was polite, the dishes felt more reminiscent of a frozen meal than freshly prepared Italian cuisine. The risotto lacked seasoning, and the pasta was overcooked. We expected more authenticity given the positive reviews. Not convinced that we will return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had better Italian food elsewhere. The prices were steep for what we received, and the portions felt small, even if the quality was high. The ambiance is nice, very homey, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Service was prompt, but I wasn't offered any recommendations despite it being our first time here. Perhaps it was just an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)
