Traditional Italian meals with fresh pasta & espresso martinis


























"There are a lot of restaurants in the North End serving reliable Italian-American food with solid wine lists and a good staff. Trattoria Il Panino is the best of the bunch, thanks to dishes like fluffy gnocchi tossed in a tomato sauce speckled with fresh herbs, stuffed zucchini flowers, and a veggie antipasto plate with six different vegetables and crostini that you might as well call dinner. This is the spot to take your friend visiting from the Midwest who wants an “authentic North End experience,” or your family after a long day of sightseeing around town." - tanya edwards, joel ang, dan secatore

"Customers can enjoy lunches and dinners of gnocchi and stuffed zucchini blossoms on the covered patio at Trattoria Il Panino in the North End, even on days featuring the most miserable weather. The heat lamps only bolster the cozy — as does the house special: chicken parmesan topped with creamy, melty mozzarella." - Nathan Tavares
