" I had dinner at Arya Trattoria to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was a magical evening. The ambiance is intimate and warm, albeit a little crowded. We opted for the chef’s tasting menu, and it was worth every penny! Each plate brought new flavors and was beautifully presented. My personal favorite had to be the linguine vongole, which had a perfect garlic finish. The service was nice and attentive, keeping our drinks filled and checking on us frequently. The only downside was the noise level; it felt like everyone was talking at once. Regardless, it is absolutely a must-visit if you're in the North End! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Arya Trattoria, and fortunately, the restaurant lived up to the hype. The highlight was definitely the fabulous ambiance that felt both elegant and welcoming. The pasta dishes we ordered, specifically the rigatoni and the lobster ravioli, were both spectacular—fresh and cooked to perfection. I could tell the ingredients were high quality, which was reassuring. However, the service felt a little slow due to the dinner rush, and while reasonable, we could have used more attention. Overall, great experience, and I am looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Arya Trattoria enough! It's a wonderful spot with absolutely fantastic food. We started off with the famous meatballs, and they did not disappoint. For my entree, I had the osso buco, which was cooked beautifully, and the flavors just exploded in my mouth! The service was top-notch; the staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was lively, though a bit noisy at times. I left feeling completely satisfied, and I can't wait to bring friends and family back to share this wonderful experience!

" What an incredible dining experience at Arya Trattoria! The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by the owner, Massimo, who made us feel right at home. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner with friends. We decided to go with the chef's tasting menu, and every dish was a delightful surprise. From the fresh burrata appetizer to the rich and flavorful bolognese, everything was cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were generous, and the quality of the ingredients truly shone in every bite. We finished off with tiramisu, which tasted like it had just come from Italy! I can't recommend this place enough. It’s a must-visit in the North End. 10/10 would return without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled across Arya Trattoria after researching Italian places to eat while visiting Boston, and I'm so glad I did. The owner is very hands-on and creates a welcoming environment. The pasta was made fresh, and it's evident in the taste. The mushroom ravioli was a standout; each bite was delightful! Service was efficient, but I wish they could've been a bit warmer. The atmosphere is charming, but it can be a tight squeeze at times. Regardless, I would highly recommend Arya if you’re craving authentic Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dinner experience at Arya Trattoria! The vibe was very inviting, and the small space made for an intimate meal. We had the truffle salad as a starter which was divine, followed by the carbonara. The pasta was substantial yet flavorful. I did feel the wait for our mains was a bit long; they were packed that night, but the delicious food made up for it. Overall, a nice place to visit if you enjoy quality Italian cuisine and personalized service. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Arya Trattoria was undeniably delicious. We started with the signature meatballs, which were incredibly tender and flavorful. For my main course, I ordered the seafood linguine, but it fell short of my expectations; I found it a bit bland compared to the rest of the food. The service, on the other hand, was fantastic; our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere is lively, but sometimes it felt too bustling to engage in meaningful conversations. I'd return to try more dishes and see if the seafood pasta was a one-off. " (*Curated Review*)
