Amazing experience from start to finish! We recently dined at Lo Conte's with a group of 14 friends for a birthday celebration. Chef Mike and his staff provided personal service that is rare to find in such busy restaurant in the North End. Not only did he recommend a nearby bakery to bake the birthday cake, he even sent a staff member to pick it up at the bakery before we arrived! He personally stopped by our table to provide menu recommendations, all of which were delicious. Some of the group favorites were the mussels, the meatballs and calamari and shrimp appetizers, and pasta with homemade bolognese, chicken parmesan and chicken picatta for entrees. He even offers a gluten-free pasta option. The flavors were amazing, the portions were generous and prices were very reasonable. P.S. I was reluctant to write this review because I fear that if word gets out, this hidden gem in the North End will have a line out the door! Everyone in our group is already looking forward to planning another visit!
