Located in the heart of Boston's North End neighborhood, VINOTECA di MONICA serves Rustic Regional Italian cuisine and Wine Spectator’s Grand Award for one of the largest Selections of Italian wines in the city.

You no longer need to travel to Italy to experience the marriage between regional Italian food and wine. The menu focuses on the preservation of traditional regional dishes, with an unpretentious dedication to the true flavors that make regional Italian cuisine so popular.

The art of pasta and bread making are carried out daily, for your sampling, where the freshest ingredients is an everyday affair. VINOTECA di MONICA is the result of Monica’s Restaurant evolution and our passion for the Italian culture and the big role food and wine plays in its preservation.

    Everything was absolutely fantastic. The bread is to die for. They have a huge wine list. Our server, Alexis, was wonderful. He was so friendly and kind. We loved everything.

    Very disappointed at our experience. Made a reservation way ahead for a birthday dinner and we were seated at a horrible table in the bar area way in the back, next to the door and surrounded by bar patrons and so tight to another table that we couldn't even hear each other talk. Also, my husband was tucked in so tight that the waitstaff kept bumping into him which was awkward. Food was good, but we shortened our dinner to go have desserts and drinks elsewhere. Sadly, we won't be back.

    Greet experience. Other than it being super busy and loud. But that’s to be expected for the north end. Food was great and all off the staff was super nice
