“ Had a pre hockey game dinner with my cousin and Arya did not disappoint. I've eaten in many North End restaurants and this ranks near the top. We let the owner "feed us"! We were brought tons of food and each dish was excellent. Shrimp, meatballs, a pasta coach, rib eye and the largest chicken parm I've ever seen! All great. The steak was served as expected nice and rare just like in Italy. I'll be back ”

“ Lovely first meal at Arya! Had the calamari, very generous portion with a good mix of fried peppers and calamari, only complaint was the dipping sauce was cold, not sure if that's normal but I prefer it hot. Also had the lobster ravioli special and the pesto rigatoni. The pesto was very light and good you could tell it's homemade. Small and cozy restaurant, a little loud since tables are close together. Server was attentive. ”

“ Very intimate and small restaurant. The food was very good and service was good as well. I would try to make a reservation instead of just showing up. . ”

“ Arya Trattoria has the most delicious food ever. The meatballs are sublime and so is the ribeye steak with the truffle fries. The food is so good you cannot stop eating it. We also got a lovely light sea bass that just melted in my mouth. I should add that the pasta is homemade and tastes like an Italian grandmother (who happens to be a great cook) just made it for a Sunday dinner. Please try this place. It is wonderful. My friend Chris brought me here and he knows his food inside and out. ”

“ If you like Italian food - The North End of Boston is a MUST VISIT!!! We made reservations to come here on a Friday night while visiting Boston... The place was packed when we got there for our 7PM time. The staff was friendly, all of them were. The menu is loaded with excellent looking options, which made it tough for us to choose, so when our server told us about the chef's dinner option, we took it! Basically, for $70 per person, you get: * Salad to share - Ours was a large caprese made with their amazing Bufala cheese * Appetizer - Their soft, moist, flavorful, and BIG meatballs! They were outstanding and had a great red sauce on them! * Pasta course - Pasta with Bolognese and it was excellent!! * 2 main dishes that were HUGE o One was their braised beef short rib and it was honestly one of the BEST beef dishes I've ever had - the sauce, the meat and it's flavor and tenderness - it was truly outstanding! o They also gave us their HUGE chicken parm and it was excellent as well! All definitely excellent food and an amazing deal - Highly recommend stopping in!! ”

“ What a fantastic restaurant. My wife had the lobster ravioli I have the Frutti Di Mare. By far the best Italian meal I've had in a long time. The Frutti Di Mare had great flavor and was just spicy enough. I also love the loud ambiance. Makes for a fun time not having to stay quiet. Highly recommend this place. ”

“ It's a small cozy place in the north end so I recommend having reservation as they are busy even on the week days. The food here never disappoints. Bolognese da Abruzzo is my go to for pasta. I also really enjoy the ribeye. If you are looking for great Italian food with a good vibe this is for you! ”

“ We made reservations for our 1 year anniversary, and was a little disappointed the host nor waiter took note of that since it was a special night for us. We each had a glass of wine, I tried the "staff pick", which I was very pleased with. The appetizers were incredible and very generous portions. The calamari was very crispy and tender. The lamb chops were big enough to be a meal! For my entree, I got the Osso bucco, their house specialty- which was good, but for a specialty dish, could have been better. The seasonings seemed off- the sauce was very salty, but the pork was not. It could have been more flavorful and more tender. ”
