"The North End probably needed another Italian restaurant like it needed another pothole on its streets. Casarecce is good, though, so it doesn’t matter that it’s joining a saturated market. The restaurant’s name originates from a short, twisty pasta shape typical in Sicily. Casarecce’s pasta is all made in-house, and it’s reasonably priced. It’s a good addition to a neighborhood that didn’t need it but is better for having it." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle
