10Best Says

Trattoria di Monica is a tiny spot with few tables (a mere 25 seats) tucked inside the North End, off of the busy main drags, that specializes in pasta. Their menu consists of two categories: appetizers and pasta. Limiting their menu and specializing in pasta has given Trattoria di Monica such a following that regulars often hold every table in this tiny establishment. A stellar line up of appetizers including artichoke hearts and a mixed selection of fried seafood, as well as one of the better antipasto plates you'll find in Boston are the perfect prelude to your main course selection. Prepared as pasta should be, their pasta is dressed with sauces that make you feel like you've left Boston and been transported to Italy, you'll leave anticipating a return trip.
