   Officially my new favorite spot in the north end! We found this place from TikTok and we’re not disappointed!

   Cute cafe in the heart of the North End. Very small dining area tables were on top of each and small . We sat by door & a velvet curtain blocked cold air coming in when door opened

   Server was amazing and appetizers were delicious. Bolognese was good but lack a bit of flavor. But overall, I would come again :)

   We go to Amara to see our favorite waiter in the North End, Brian. We ate here two days- yesterday for lunch and again today for lunch. Brian always has a smile and remembers us, which makes us feel special. Wish more waiters were like Brian.

   Didn’t respect our reservation time as well as the servers were extremely rude. Nothing more to say.

   When we arrived there was no hostess to check us in. The place was packed. The people who were already waiting for their reservation didn’t want us to check in. I’m guessing they were tourists and afraid we would be seated before them. Regardless, after we finally spoke to someone about our 6pm reservation they told us it would be about 20 mins and to wait outside in the 25 degree weather since the restaurant was running behind. Me having a small child with me was already annoyed and said forget it, I’m not waiting. I asked the host to pls cancel my reservation on open table so I could book somewhere else. He rudely said he did, but of course he didn’t and I could not book another reservation somewhere else because the app thought I was dinning already at Café Amaro. Needless to say we had to go home with out having dinner out. As someone who lives in Boston and goes to the north end frequently, I was beyond disappointed and letdown by the professionalism of this restaurant. There are plenty of other restaurants in the north end that value the locals and don’t treat them like this. I won’t be returning. Even to try the food at this point.

    Great food, great service. This is one of our go-tos when we are in Boston. It always feels like we’re seeing old friends.
