Strega North End is one of those spots where you go to be seen. The food is OK, the room is nice, and they open all the windows so you feel like you are outside on a nice day, which is why we chose it. When we arrived for lunch the hostess cautione

So I have heard soo much about Strega, however after going there last night I would classify it as a "one and done" type place. To start with, my wife ordered the "That's Amore", which is listed as "chef's signatur

The food was mid- to bad, the atmosphere was loud DJ music, then two singers decided to karaoke for tips? Loud and in microphones... They were talented but I came to talk with my dining companions and eat food that's at least decent. The gnocchi

Busy, loud and poor quality food were the highlights of this North end eatery. I'm beginning to think Boston doesn't have any decent Italian food. Service was shaky at best.
Their club music was so loud at 11am today.
We were looking forward to having brunch there but left because it was just intolerable. I can't even hear what the waiter was asking us. That's too bad because we have been to Strega before and we know they serve good food.

We pulled up in front of Strega, were warmly greeted by the valet and made our way onto the restaurant where we were immediately seated without reservations. Food was absolutely delicious and the service was perfection. Highly recommend!
Love this place! Everything about it was amazing.
Good people, Good vibes, feels like family.
Went here with a group of 10 people for brunch.
We came right when it opened so we did not have to wait to be seated for our reservation. Food: The French toast/waffle tower was delicious and reasonably priced. My cocktail was strong and enjoyable. Service: quick service and very attentive sta
Good and family friendly - but bring your credit card!
Very warm hospitality! Enjoyed our dinner on a crowded Spring evening. Not the place for a quiet romantic dinner because it is loud and crowded, but still nice. A little expensive for the basics we ordered.
Delicious!
We had the best visit with the best food. Gianni told amazing stories of his travels since we were there in a slow moment (our main meal today was early!). His wine recommendations as well as the food was amazing!!
Awful tourist trap
This is a tourist trap , expensive and bad food quality, they cut the pasta !!! That is awful , In Italy these people can get sued , it is terrible and in the Italian neighborhood!!! Please donโt eat there
Yummy food and a fun place
Went to the north end location and was a little nervous to come after reading some of the reviews on here but we had a wonderful experience. If youโre looking for a romantic dinner date this is not the place as it is loud, loud music etc but if you
Delicious food, excellent service.
This place offers everything you want in a great Italian restaurant โ delicious food, outstanding service, and the Godfather movies playing on TVs built into the wall. We loved the entire experience, especially the food. Highly recommend.
Get the Veal Chop Stuffed with Prosciutto - yum
I had to chuckle after reading the reviews after we dined at Strega North End. Many of the gripes listed are believable. They totally packed the place with diners. The music is WAY too loud. We had a reservation and got bumped by a "VIP" gu
Food poisoning
My wife and I decided to dine at Strega one evening which is attached to the Hilton Park Plaza in Boston where we were staying. We had a long day and did not feel like venturing out for dinner. Our server Adrian was very nice. The wine list is imp
Brunch
We went for brunch and the food was really good but that is as far as it goes. They play the music really loud so conversation was basically non existent and made it hard to order. You can tell that they try to cater to a younger crowd.
AMAZING food its loud and cramped but worth it at every bite
Is it a tight squeeze, YES Is it LOUD yes but not super loud Is the food AMAZING HELL YES!!!! Everything was delicious, and worth the trip

Had a reservation at 8pm on a Sunday with friends from out of town. Called on the way for the decency we might be 10 minutes late. We were 3 minutes late. 2 of our people weren't there out of our party of six. So they wouldn't sit us yet. The hostess

I was weary coming into dinner because the reviews aren't very good, but I was satisfied. We enjoyed our meals very much. It's a small room so I understand why service may be get you in and out, but we came in with that expectation so it was fine. Wa
Well, it's just ok.
The club music is VERY loud. The staff was ok friendly. The singers basically shake down every table for a tip. The cauliflower on the antipasto board was very good. The pollo Lemoncello was lackluster at best. Seriously a boiled chicken breast w
Stopped here for brunch while visiting the North end.
A little pricey for brunch, but as you expect in Boston. The food was okay, not crazy good. The service was great though and you never had to wait at all. The inside is cute and has a different vibe but with lots of loud music playing, so it was hard
Terrible service.
splitting fee was not mentioned, unhelpful waitstaff. food was okay, nothing special.
Overrated.
We arrived early for our reservation and still waited 45 minutes. Got sat in the back corner next to the bathrooms. Food was over cooked. Waitress was rude.

Came here for a birthday dinner and got the vodka pasta that is prepared in the cheese wheel! Such a cool experience to finally try and see and it made everything taste so fresh! Strega has a lot of good dishes but some can be smaller or bigger than

Came here on a double date since I've already had visited their other location inside the Park plaza Hotel, we decided to give it a try, overall the food is not bad, we try the Oysters, calamari, prime age ribeye and to say we were a bit disappointed

Had a 5pm reservation - showed up at 4:55pm and was immediately seated. A bruins game just got out so there was a line of people out the door. It's a fun atmosphere - there are mafia movies playing on TVs which strike me as an odd choice for restau

Been here a few times for birthday parties.
The ambiance is fun but the food sucks. Most recently we had a 9:30 reservations, which had a 90 minute limit. We were on time but they didn't seat us until 10, and told us it would only be 60 minutes now. We left and we to cantina instead. Poor plan
Worst service I've ever had, honestly.
Our reservation was bumped because a famous housewife reality show person and her party stopped in and one of the waiters went nuts trying to find them drinks and a table while they waited for their real table. I've never witnessed such chaos in a r
Maddie the hostess was wonderful.
She is the only saving grace. Five stars to her only, give the girl a raise!!!We had a reservation. It took us 45 minutes to get seated, and then the kitchen was closing so they rushed us to order. We ordered lemon ricotta and truffle fries for apps.

Came here on 3/4/2023 for my girls birthday dinner .
We had been looking forward to a lovely meal in the North End for weeks . We were aware it may be tough to find a place to during dinner time and as a walk in without a reservation on a Saturday night but we're pleasantly surprised when we arrived at

Food was fantastic, ambiance was great! Goodfellas, The Godfather I & II and Casino playing on the TVs, what's not to love? 8/10 will definitely be back!
Terrible brunch service Strega north end
I made a reservation for Strega north end brunch 3 weeks ago for my co workers birthday. We were a party of 6. Five out of our six has arrived at 1:30pm. I arrived at 1:45pm. They would not sit us until we were all there. The hostess at Strega had us

Nice setting and decor. Don't like the tv with sports on in the bar in what is meant to be a good restaurant. The bathrooms needed repairs to locks and units. Service was excellent and very attentive from our waiter to the staff clearing. Table com
Connect with users posting reservations for Strega Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Strega Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Strega Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Strega Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Strega Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Strega Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
