   We all loved our dinner tonight! It’s a very small restaurant so don’t plan to linger too long. Food was excellent (lasagna, pasta with vodka sauce, and pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe) and we really loved both the garlic bread and the regular bread service.

   So happy I settled on Tony & Elaine's when I was looking for a quintessential North End Italian restaurant. Everything from the food to the ambiance and decor reminded me of the Italian restaurants I used to eat in growing up in the Northeast before moving south long ago. Excellent place.

   Best old school Italian I’ve had in the North End, however as upon ordering our house salad came out which was great, which was immediately followed up by our entrees (maybe 5 minutes). I wish they gave us more time to relax and enjoy the food. Small spot and I think their purpose was to flip a 6 top in 60 minutes. I would go back but pace the food better is all I ask.

   Fantastic little place. Everything — food, atmosphere, people — was about top notch. Will be back next time I’m in Boston

   We were a group of friends gathering for our “pasta” party before the Boston Marathon. The team adapted easily to our needs for billing and payment as we were not easy; visitors from abroad requiring different bills. No problem! I cannot say about the rest of the food but my Bolognese was delicious! We will return.

   So the food is very good as was the service. But they need to rethink their “dinner music”. Listening to Aerosmith and The Who (bands I like) is not enjoyable while having dinner.

    Oh my gosh, this place is perfect. The ambience, the food, everything. A small, charming restaurant with excellent Italian food. So good, we went back again a couple days later. Can’t wait to come back to Boston for the bolognese and meatballs this summer.
