I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.

what is great about this restaurant is that it has unusual, creative high quality Greek food. Not like anything I have EVER had before. It is wonderful to have a fantastic choice other than Italian or steakhouse food that is such high quality. It is our new favorite restaurant and I could not recommend it more highly. The dishes were unbelievably creative in taste and texture. Pomegranate Glazed Eggplant! Wow. Lamb Arancini. Spanikopita Pizette. Burnt Orange Phyllo Bread Pudding! I could go on and on.

This was our second visit to Tresca. For the first, we were privileged to sit at Table 77 (this was the jersey number of former Boston Bruin Ray Bourque who is part owner of this establishment), the lone balcony table overlooking Hanover Street. This time, we dined in the main restaurant which was pleasant. We had a pair of gift cards to apply towards dinner. It turns out, the vendor of one of the cards had gone out of business, rendering the card invalid. The manager visited our table to explain and offered to comp the expired card as a courtesy. In return, we gave the entire amount to our waitress Sydney for a job-well-done. The food was excellent and I especially enjoyed Anna Maria's meatball appetizer. Can't wait to return!
