- Authentic Italian Cuisine
- Extensive wine list
- Gift cards available
Strega is located in the historic North End of Boston right on the famed freedom trail. Strega means "witch" and the decor of the restaurant is inspired by the tale of Strega which seperates it from the other Hanover Street restaurants with an attention grabbing interior. The top of one wall is side by side plasma tv's constantly showing classic films such as The Godfather, My Cousin Vinny, and Goodfellas. The other walls are covered in celebrity photos from the cast of The Sopranos to Redsox players. The menu features authentic Italian cuisine, some of the best available in Boston. Strega features an extensive wine list with something for everyone. Stop by or call and make reservations to dine at Strega, who knows you might even be seated next to a celebrity.
Tips
- Save Time
Unlike most North End establishments, Strega accepts reservations. Call ahead to avoid baking/freezing on the sidewalk during a long wait.
- Parking
Forget about finding a spot near the restaurant; take the T or use Strega's pricey ($14) valet service.
- Where to Sit
Ask for a window seat to enjoy the view of bustling Hanover Street.
- What to Drink
Be sure to try a selection off of the wine list.

I love the food here. Been a few times and never disappointed. It is standard Italian food but somehow different from all the other places in the North End.
Pros: Food, Scene, Location

I work at a hotel that recently opened near the North End. We send 6-10 people to Strega's each week. I've NEVER had a complaint from anyone. On the contrary, the guests usually return with comments like "You were righton target with Strega's" or "Absolutely fabulous!". Our guests come from all over the world and are very discerning diners and have high expectations. Strega's meets or exceeds those expectations each and every day!
like being in italy

The best restaurant in the north end, we have been going here for years and have never been disappointed from the tasty food to the excellent service. Great for people watching also. The entire staff are very professional, attentive and authentic...as close to Italy as you can be. We love it.
Excellent food and even better service

Me and a friend had just come from the festival on Hanover Street and were looking for a place to eat that would accommodate the 2 of us + a rather large stuffed Tweety which was won earlier in the night at the festival. When I asked jokingly for a table of 3, the hostess chuckled and said right this way. (In fact, she even brought a menu for Tweety). In any case, the waiter was very attentive and friendly and quickly offered us water. Shortly after, we received bread and oil, at which point we put in an order for a bottle of wine and appetizers. The wine came out quick and the food even quicker! We were extremely satisfied with the appetizers. Even though closing time was nearing, the staff did not make us feel rushed or bothersome, which was a nice surprise. They treated us very well and I would go back there again and again and hopefully try our some entrees next time!
