Executive Chef Rich Ansara along with Boston Bruins legend Ray Bourque and the staff at Tresca bring the Italian tradition of hospitality (or “ospitalita” as they say in Italy) to the heart of the North End with food that is both comforting and welcoming.

They offer guests exciting Italian and Mediterranean cuisine on Hanover Street, the most famous restaurant street in Boston. Ansara’s accolades are numerous and his gift to people is his food. He has perfected a fusion of his own style and the old-world Italian recipes to which his patrons have become accustomed. Recognized by Wine Spectator with an award of excellence, the exceptional wine cellar offers a selection of many of the finest vintages.

Whatever the season or occasion, Tresca can accommodate. The dining rooms feature high ceilings with wood accents. They’re warmed by fireplaces during the winter months and cooled by floor-to-ceiling accordion windows when the warm weather hits. Tresca also features the most romantic table in town: Table #77, which overlooks Hanover Street with panoramic views of downtown Boston and the North End.

For private functions, Tresca offers a comfortable room, a lovely table setting, a customized menu with wine pairings, and a dedicated staff providing gracious service. Whether your event is an intimate party, business meeting or large reception, they will make it a memorable occasion.
