North End Breakfast Poutine
The North End poutine is the best breakfast / brunch meal EVER. Period. Get it with fries; it's heaven on a plate.
PIZZA MARGHERITA
Amazing Margherita pizza!! Quality food!
MONICA'S ORIGINAL ITALIAN SUB
Best sandwich in Boston
PORCINI RAVIOLI CREAM SAUCE
My favorite pasta - I get it every time I come!
Ravioli di Funghi
The mushroom ravioli is the best I've ever had! I travel from Peabody just for that dish. I always get the mista salad as well which is lemony lightly dressed greens, light and delicious. I also LOVE the white bean dip they give you with the bread. Everything there is so good and freshly made. Highly recommend!
MONICA'S ORIGINAL ITALIAN SUB
This is one of my favorites sandwhiches in Boston! Super fresh ingredients, great umami with the balsamic glaze, and lots of fresh sliced meat. 10/10
ITALIAN STEAK TIP SUB
Monica's has the best Italian sub you will ever try, and the competition is not even close. The meats, cheese, and bread are all 10/10. Also, their lobster ravioli so to die for if you go the restaurant. Absolutely must try it'
Agnolotti alla Piemontese
One of the most unique pastas on the menu is the Agnolotti Piedmontese. Homemade ravioli filled with a roasted beef mixture topped with a complex tomato and reduced red wine sauce. The dish is finished with drizzle of olive pesto and slices of cheese. This recipe has been a staple on the menu for a number of years and one of my absolute favorites. Couple it with a nice ripasso valpolicella and it's a heavenly experience
Rigatoni con Salccicia e Rabe
We came here for an early Valentine's Day dinner and WOW the food was amazing. We've already told 3 people to come here - I used to live in the north end but surprisingly had never eaten here - it's a shame I didn't find you guys sooner!
Caprese Panini
Monica's is one of my all time favorite Boston restaurants. There are so many options in the North End but this is worth a visit. The bread was great, sandwich was fresh, LOVE!
Tajarin con Piselli e Prosciutto
This dish was perfect, the slight sweetness of the peas balance the savory prosciutto, and the handmade pasta was perfectly al dente!
Espresso Martini
Monica's is not only one of my favorite North End spots to eat, it's a great place for a pre-dinner cocktail. We brought out of town guests to the North End for dinner and were all about to get seats at the bar (which at 6PM on a Friday night is a real feat!) the bartender was super friendly and and mixed up some excellent martinis!
Tajarin con Piselli e Prosciutto
The combination of peas and prosciutto works really well with the delicious thin pasta in this dish.
Fettuccine alla Panna
Such a creamy sauce - not too heavy but very filling!
Linguine al Filletto di Pomodoro
Very delicious! Sauce was wonderful and all the flavors fit together perfectly!
Frittelle di Pane alla Francese
Great French toast with real maple syrup and fresh fruit
PAPPARDELLE BOLOGNESE
The best! I have to order it almost every time. The homemade pasta is so delicious.
Agnolotti alla Piemontese
delicious!
PAPPARDELLE BOLOGNESE
Judy and I have been dining at Monica's for years. I cannot ever remember Judy ordering anything other than the Bolognese dish. To say it is her favorite is understatement! We have tried other versions elsewhere, but still rate Monica's as the best! We now buy it take-out as well. We recommend Monica's, a local place that has a great neighborhood following. Casual not formal, and even more laid back in the bar area where we like to dine with family/friends. Good for business and social dining. Even in bad weather, or snow storms, it has patrons, so you will not be dining alone. Enjoy! Frank & Judy Casey, Boston Waterfront
Insalata Caprese con Prosciutto
Very fresh food! Amazing steak tips! Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Owners are great too!
CAPRESE SUB
My takeout is always delicious! The freshest ingredients and highest quality!! The customer service is outstanding!! I highly recommend everything on the menu!! The market has a large variety of products as well!!
MONICA'S ORIGINAL ITALIAN SUB
Mama mia this sub makes me want to sing Andrea bocelli from a balcony and shout my love. It's the best sandwich in Boston and everything is carefully curated to provide the best ingredients, freshest meats, chewy bread and fast service. Such a hidden gem!
FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
We had the fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, rigatoni broccoli rabe with sausage and arancini off the takeout menu and it was all delicious! The Alfredo wasn't super heavy and the sausage was super flavorful. Pickup was also extremely easy.
FOUR CHEESE RAVIOLI POMODORO
Love Monica's! Love their food, have never had a bad meal. Their staff is always so nice and friendly, ready to help you. The ravioli is my favorite dish, everything is so fresh !
FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
Always a great meal and service. This is our favorite north end restaurant with a quaint atmosphere.
PORCINI RAVIOLI CREAM SAUCE
Perfection in a pasta pillow. This is it, look no further. The cream sauce just right, not too heavy. This is the way to treat yourself when you are feeling low. Warms your soul. In a one word. Yum
Crespelle ai Funghi
Best ever!!!
Chicken Parmigiana
Had the chicken parm sandwich. Bread, meat, sauce and service were all to notch. I can't wait to comeback!!!!
Chicken Parmigiana
The homemade pasta adds an extra level of perfection to this classic Italian dish. The drinks are really great, too!!
Gnocchi con Ragú di Salsiccia
Some of the best gnocchi i have ever tasted! It is like biting into a cloud each bite! It feels like I am back home in Rome every time i have it!
Ravioli di Funghi
Three of us visited on Saturday after Camping and RV show. They were very accommodating, we were early. Delicious bruschetta, very tasty ravioli and an amazing veal parm. Wine was perfect as was dessert of choc tort and tiraramsu. Our server Paola was super.
Pollo o Vitello alla Milanese
One of the best Milanese I have ever had! perfect balance of crispiness of the breading and the tenderness of the chicken. The arugula salad was great, adding the peppery zip and with the squeeze of lemons on top, the acidity needed to carry through the finish. Superb!
Cappellini con Gamberi (Rosso o Bianco)
It's a great dish. The pasta is so fresh and the texture is amazing. Prawns are a little overcooked but the wine sauce is delicious!
Lasagna con Tuco di Pollo
This lasagna is unbelievable delicious. My go to item on the menu - and I get it from the pasta shop next door to bring home as well. You must try it!
Insalata di Aragosta al Limone
Perfectly cooked lobster with tarragon served over bibb lettuce with an amazing lemon dressing. Everything about this salad is perfect, fresh tomato, charred corn, hard boiled eggs. Its simple and delicious.
PAPPARDELLE BOLOGNESE
It was delicious! Would definitely come back for more!
Fettuccine con Cozze Arrabiata
Well done. Delicious I will definitely get again. We will be back. Staff is great and waitstaff are phenomenal.
Carpaccio di Manzo con Uovo
Monica's is a hidden gem in Boston for brunch! the food is amazing, service is outstanding and the cocktails are great! The carpaccio was outstanding - it's not something I normally think of as brunch food, but now it's all I want at brunch!
PAPPARDELLE BOLOGNESE
We were visiting our daughter and came to Monica's for dinner. The entire experience was perfect, the atmosphere, the staff, and most of all, the food. Everything we ordered was delicious but I specifically loved the Bolognes. It's one of my favorites. Thank you for a wonderful evening! Tutto il meglio per te!
Pizzette con Capicolla e Fichi
This pizzette is delicious and a great portion size!
