Best Italian Restaurant in East Boston

We wanted a spot close to Logan airport while waiting for our son’s plane to land. Pazza on Porter did not disappoint. We sat at the bar and had great service from bartender Nabil. So much fun watching him make drinks! Had 2 espresso martinis and a spicy old fashioned! Excellent! My wife had the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni and I had the Bucatini Amalfi. Both great. And then the Millefiglie desert was amazing! We’d go back!

Pleasantly surprised! Enjoyed a delicious Valentine’s Day meal here. We ordered Atlantic cod, truffle fries, tuna tartare, and ribeye steak, paired with mojitos, a La Mora tequila drink, and club soda. The restaurant was busy, but thanks to our reservation, we were seated without any problems. Service was quick, and our waiter was attentive to all our needs.

A true hidden gem. Such beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff and incredible food. We enjoyed the crispy picatta and steak tips - everything cooked to perfection. Not to mention the dessert that topped off a great dinner.

Pazza on Porter recently went through a remodeling the entire restaurant and re-started as well with a new menu. The new menu is shorter than the previous one… but this menu is really goood. The service is amazing. And appetizers and food are delicious. As appetizers we got fried calamari and prosciutto, for entree we got four different dishes and al of them were excellent, I do highly recommend to try this place… I am sure you would go back !!

Italian restaurant with an Eastie flare restaurant with a swanky version of sitting around noona’s dinning room table vibe. The vibe has positive energy. Very good food & drinks. Service was also very good but felt rushed. We had order each course separately to make sure all the food didn’t come at once. We will definitely be back! Best tiramisu in Boston! Update! We went to Pazza again, Ana was an awesome server. She was the right amount of attentive and very genuine.
