This is a little like stepping into a Marion Puzo fantasy land, except it is true life and I expected Don Corleone to appear at any moment

Classic North End Cafe 16th May 2008

2 found this helpful

Cafe Vittoria is one of my favourite Italian Cafe's in Boston's North End.

The cafe bustles with Italian energy and it a great place to have a pit stop for Italian Ice cream during the day and a post-dinner coffee/ drink at night. I love the Continental style mix of coffee, drinks and sociability that brings Vittoria to life.

During the evenings, like the whole of the North End, during the tourist season it can get pretty rammed in here. However, you will usually still be able to get a seat and this cafe is deceptively large. A bonus of this cafe is that it is open until midnight. And just like Italy there is the famously gruesome Grappa to tempt you as a nightcap.
