   Found the choice of music too loud to compete with the 3 large screen TV’s in dining area. When rush for dinner started it was even louder. Food was tasty . Service was personable.

   Very loud for brunch. You can't even hear the person next to you. Music was blasting felt like you were in a club. Music was unfiltered and obscene with small kids in the restaurant. Food was good but will not be returning especially with any kids.

   Food was good, service not so great. We sat outside and asked for a umbrella since it was 95 degrees and sunny, someone said they’d get it and never brought it, we asked for it to another waitress and she said the umbrella wouldn’t make a difference cause it wasn’t the sun that was making it warm, just the humidity, ok! Luckily some people who were sitting at a table with an umbrella left and we moved to their table on our own cause the waitress didn’t offer us that possibility. Drinks took about half an hour to come after we ordered it and we were already done with our food. Overall place was cute and their food was good, maybe they were understaffed but waiters should be more attentive.

   This is the ultimate party brunch spot. It's a blast - expect loud music, dancing, and very high energy.

   I felt like I was standing next to a speaker at a club, the music was blaring so loud I couldn’t hear myself think. The vibe did not match the white tablecloths lol. We asked them to turn the music down a little and it seemed like they turned it louder. I will never come back for brunch due to the obscene noise level. The food was good just bring noise cancelling headphones lol

   Location was great. We sat outside and got lucky with a well situated table. The servers were really nice guys but the service was slow and sloppy. The food was average towards decent but way overpriced.

   I fully claim to be an amateur but I think I could have made better versions of the dishes I got at home (whipped ricotta, truffle fries, gnocchi, mushroom & pea pasta). Service was nothing special, ingredients didn’t stand out. Sangria was decent and it was nice to be in the Italian District…. I really wanted to like it more but unfortunately I do not think I will be back.

   We felt rushed to order as if our table for two needed to be turned over quickly. In fairness, our dinners were tasty. We didn’t really care for the decor/ambience of the restaurant.

    Poorest service I have had in a long while. Expected something different than received. Not a recommended place to dine. Waiter was inattentive and “shew’ed” me off when I ask for something due to him having a problem at another table. I was shocked at the entire experience. Owner should be appalled at how the his staff handles customers.

    I was so excited to try Strega. The service was near awful. We felt so rushed. It was disorganized. We got our appetizer after we were half way through the meal. Food was not good either.

    Hopefully this review deters someone from making the same mistake we did. This place was recommended to us and I think the reason was because the person didn't like me. The food was subpar compared to other places in the North End and yet was more expensive, I've had better meals from Olive Garden. Our waiter and the hostess were rude as well. Never going back to this place and I hope others avoid this tourist trap as well.

    I love everything about this place. I went for the mimosas and fell in love with the service, the ambiance, and music. I went for brunch and it was great. Everyone was friendly. The only minor minor thing is the chicken in waffles. It wasn’t great, I suggest a new recipe. But my friend had steak and eggs and enjoyed her meal. Overall I would give this place 5 star ⭐️ and would recommended to everyone I know.

    Strega came recommended from a friend for a business dinner. The staff was great and very helpful when modifying our reservation. Food was excellent and have a great wine choice. Can't wait to return.

    The food and drinks at strega was amazing. We were unaware that we would be eating in a night club type location and would ahve picked to eat outside if we were aware of how loud it was. The service however was great.

    I don't usually write reviews, but this was the most bizarre restaurant experience. I made a reservation for inside, 7:15, and when I got there at 7:10, the hostess asked me if I wanted inside or outside....I thought this was strange since I'd specified inside in my reservation. Then she told me to step to the side and wait for the table to be ready. We waited forty five minutes and weren't seated until 8:00pm. I then get a message from OpenTable saying my reservation change was confirmed for 8:00pm, even though I did not initiate that change. The table was unbelievably tiny and it was PACKED in there, to an uncomfortable degree. The reason for 2 stars instead of 1 was the whipped ricotta and the meatball -- SO GOOD. But my pasta was lukewarm, almost cold, and at 9pm they turned on club music that was so loud, I couldn't hear my friend speaking right in front of me. All in all, just a strange evening. Any good food they have is ruined by the experience. I'd suggest going to any other of the many great Italian restaurants in the North End, because this one unfortunately isn't worth it.

    This place is overhyped. The food is fine. Nothing special. We sat outside because the wait for inside table was insane. The outside seating is slanted so your table rocks. The umbrellas outside aren’t spaced out equally so some people were seated entirely in the sun while other tables had two umbrellas for themselves. We ordered and it took an hour for our waitress to say that they didn’t have what one of us ordered. Either it took her an hour to put in our order or it took an hour for the chef to start making our food. Either way it shouldn’t have taken an hour. The cool drink tree you see on social media is not always a tree. We got literally a metal stand wrapped in Fourth of July streamers on July 17th. Just order your drinks normally. This place is fine. Overhyped and overpriced. Too busy for it to be better.

    We made a 1:15 reservation. We got there and wanted to sit inside. They put a party that didn’t have a reservation ahead of us cause they knew someone who worked there so then we had to wait 30 min to eat inside. We sat down at 2:04, no one came over to us until 2:20. Then at 2:35 one of four drinks came. Then one meal came. Then 2:45 the rest of the drinks ans food came. Our waiter was waiting on other tables that had sat down after us. Terrible experience and will never come back.

    We arrived and the hostess wanted to sit us in the middle of the restaurant at a tiny two top against a structure. When asked about if we could have a better seat we were told very abruptly that this table the only one she had available for us. Then we decided to sit at the bar where seconds later she had managed to find us a better seat. We were close to the bathroom were the door would slam closed and make the worst noise and shake the wall. Then it was the writer's turn to impress us. So after taking care of the other customers even the ones who sat after us there drinks and bread he finally came over to us to get our drink order. We placed our drink order and asked him if we could place an appetizer order. He stated that he would rather take our entire order at the same time. We decided to finish our drinks and just leave.Very unhappy with the service there an of the staff that we encountered.
