Find Authentic Italian Fare at TreMonte Restaurant & Bar North End

You’ll already be planning your next visit as soon as you finish your first meal at TreMonte Restaurant & Bar. This popular eatery serves authentic Italian cuisine in an upscale but relaxed setting, and the prices are quite reasonable for such a lovely spot in Boston’s historic North End. 

Expect a long list of antipasti and pasta dishes, along with entrees like pork tenderloin, veal marsala, and rack of lamb. If you’re craving pasta, try their house rigatoni with sausage and peas in a cream sauce, or the penne pink with dollops of mascarpone cheese. They also do a traditional parmigiana in four different ways with their signature red sauce and plenty of mozzarella cheese. The chicken and eggplant version is a popular choice, and combines two of their best dishes so you don’t have to decide. TreMonte Restaurant & Bar only opened a few months ago, but has the classic cuisine and comfortable atmosphere that make it feel like it’s been a part of the neighborhood for years. Find TreMonte Restaurant & Bar on Salem Street between Hull and Stillman Streets.
