Aqua Pazza is a beautiful spot for dinner. The staff are very friendly, which makes the experience that much better. The food is fantastic. Starting our meal with the bread and the carpaccio was absolutely perfect. The lobster ravioli is phenomenal, with the perfect amount of filling and lobster on top. The stand out of the meal was 100% the tiramisu that is made at your table. It is light and fresh and does not leave you feeling overly full.
I highly recommend coming here for a dinner out.

Tucked away from busy Hanover st. Cozy small place with friendly service.
Complementary bread and Pesto was great and prosecco was chilled perfect and refreshing!
Food however was a bit of disappointment.
-Grilled octopus $20.99 was not grilled, it was more like boiled and burrata didn’t seem to pair well.
-Spaghetti vongole $28.99 was not al dente, way undercooked.
-Tuna crudo$21.99 mascarpone didn’t seem to complement raw tuna and portion was disappointingly small.
-Manicotti $26.99 was overcooked.
I might return for drinks and friendly service.

We walked in without a reservation and were warmly welcomed. The staff were so kind, and I loved seeing the owner checking on the service. The birthday dessert surprise was perfect, and the tiramisu table-side show was amazing!

Lovely, had the title dish and it did not disappoint. Sauce blended beautifully with the fish of the day and muscles and clams and the tangy tomatoes provided the perfect balance to the brined fish and potatoes. Buenissimo. Great oyster selection to top it off. Unlike other fine dining in the North End, you can get reservation for 1 if wanted!!

The food and service were good. Calamari was so good and was plenty to share. The house special- lobster risotto was excellent and a reasonable portion. Chocolate moose was great. The place was not so crowded so we enjoyed a nice evening.

We booked a reservation for a Thursday night just a few hours before. We came in to what the hostess referred to as the best seat in the house – and it most definitely was. We were seated at a cute two person window at the corner of the restaurant. All the street facing walls are huge windows, giving a lovely view outside and likely a beautifully naturally lit atmosphere during the day. Outside the window next to us, we were able to see the street corner and the lights of the skyscrapers next to us.
We started with the half seafood tower, absolutely devouring all the seafood they placed in front of us. Our lovely waiter let us know which oysters we were according to the name card they provided. I wish they gave us a tool to crack open the large lobster claw, but we got in there with a fork There was a lot of extra lobster meat hiding away in there!
We also ordered the grilled Positano style octopus which came with an eggplant caponata and burrata which. Everything on this plate was absolute delicious. The burrata was so so good, that we ended up adding the burrata appetizer to our order.
The burrata at this place just melts in your mouth and it tastes so fresh. The burrata appetizer came with a homemade tomato jam that paired so flawlessly.
We also ordered the Pappardelle al Cinghiale which was made with wild boar, red wine, and porcini mushrooms. I was really craving a pasta dish with wide noodles so this menu item called out to me. The sauce was rich with lots of shredded wild boar meat and slices of mushroom.
To wrap up the meal we had a deconstructed tiramisu which the server carefully poured the coffee liquor over and spread the mascarpone cream on top. We really loved this dish; the sponge cake was soft and the mascarpone cream was the perfect consistency.
We also had an Italian Coffee and the Sicilian Coffee. They were cuter than I expected arriving in big glasses with whipped cream on top. We particularly loved the flavor of the amaretto which gave it a yummy almond taste.
This was also a great place to enjoy a variety of Amaro. We ended up trying 3: a Sicilian amaro that was incredibly smooth, a powerful herbal amaro (which my boyfriend ended up loving even though I typically love the herbal ones), and one made from artichokes (which I found to be shockingly amazing).

When my wife and I were walking by Aqua Pazza we decided to stop in for an early dinner. Food was tasty and we really enjoyed the pasta sampler special they had.
Main reasons I would not give the restaurant 5 starts include: seating was very tight/uncomfortable, restaurant was extremely hot inside, and the bathrooms were not clean.
We might return in the future. Worth trying for the food

The best key lime pie I’ve ever had! Made with fresh whipped cream. I’d love to eat here in the summer when the windows are open.

Stumbled across the little gem and so glad we did. Ivan, our server provided exceptional service making great suggestions and very attentive.
The braised octopus was outstanding and the 7 Spice brick chicken was one of the most moist and tender dishes I’ve ever had.
Highly recommend this cozy and inviting restaurant.

This place is great. Came here on a date after work because another oyster spot was packed. So we came here and sat at the bar , me and the boyfriend got the half seafood tower and it was delicious and the price is justified. The lobster and king crab were sweet with seafood flavor. The oysters were clean and sweet as well the typical sauces were good as well and very clean. We ordered another dozen oysters and got the short ribs and polenta and was very good, meat was seasoned to the center. Also got the deconstructed tiramisu and that was great as well.
For the service, we sat at the bar and the bar tender was nice . The food didn’t come out wicked fast like a fast food joint, but came out at the right time and was great. After a long day at work I don’t mind a little time and space to chit chat with my company. We had a great two hour meal and didn’t feel rushed at all. It was also a busy summer night in Boston which is due to tourists so don’t expect empty restaurants. But overall a great place I’d highly recommend.
