I absolutely love the North End. It's wonderful to witness the Italian traditions, no matter how ancient, still thriving today. read more I absolutely love the North End. It's wonderful to witness the Italian traditions, no matter how ancient, still thriving today.

Unfortunately, due to the hot weather, the condensation on the glass bottle caused it to slip and fall on the floor. The wait staff was very kind and cleaned it up without any issues. However, the owner/manager reacted as if it was the most appalling thing she had ever witnessed. We paid for the water, but we were never offered a replacement or given any other options. This is not a good way to retain customers. I recommend looking elsewhere; there are much better places to spend your money.

Got scolded like a child for taking a bite of a pastry that I had from another cafe even though I still spent $60 on coffee and gelatos at their cafe. Terribly rude. They should worry more about their terrible tasting gelato and pastries. The manager couldn’t even come over and say something herself, but instead had an employee come over and say something. Save your money and go to the other cafes in the north end that don’t treat you terribly.

The pistachio martini is pretty strong, just how I like it : There is occasionally a man with a guitar playing live music and he goes from table to table performing. It's cute! Overall, a nice place to catch up with friends over drinks and dessert.

It has the Italian atmosphere, everything was made from scratch, the staff spoke Italian, the music was even on point. The order came out fast, large menu variety, and they prohibit you from working on your computer on the weekends so it prevents people from hogging the tables CONS: Scarce parking as its only street parking. it also gets very cramped inside OVERALL: I would definitely come and check this place out. Despite the parking issue, as long as you're in the area you'll love it here

Never disappoints! Four of us. Four perfectly perfect cannoli, 2 Cappuccinos from heaven and two delectable Hot Chocolates! We added 4 champagne cookies for a twist and they also lived up to standards! When in Boston Cafe Paradiso is my choice. I have been going there for over 30 yrs

Most disappointing pistachio gelato I've ever had. Fake flavor. Coffee gelato was also lacking in flavor. Too bad because it's a nice place. read more Most disappointing pistachio gelato I've ever had. Fake flavor. Coffee gelato was also lacking in flavor. Too bad because it's a nice place.

The Owner Louie said “I was hanging with the locals”. This is evident in the many patrons that he knew their order. I was very impressed and would definitely be back next time around!

Two others in my party sat down at an open table, but the staff told them they couldn?t sit down because the gelatos were to go. So I said Iwanted a cappuccino for here, so can we stay, and just add up everything on one tab, and they?re like, no, you ordered to go. SoI apologized for changing my mind, but then offered to buy more dessert so we could stay, but I guess that?s not allowed onceyou order gelato? ??????? There were about a half dozen open tables, so I don?t think I was taking a table away from otherpotential customers. Long story short, go visit another nearby cafe that doesn?t have such rigid, inflexible rules and has apositive attitude to offer options to customers rather than insisting ?you ordered to go, so you can?t sit down?

This is best suited for a coffee, drink, alcoholic beverage, or snack. This isn’t meant for full site down meals. To the weary tourist, this is the spot to sit and gather your thoughts. Mixed drinks were good, and the coffees were on point. Quick in and out. Great in mild weather with the doors open. Reasonable prices.

When the weather is mild and the front wall is open, this is a pleasant place to sip your fabulous mocha and watch the river of tourists go by, if you don't mind the cars and trucks of Hanover Street slowly rolling by as well.
