Caffe Vittoria
290-296 Hanover St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Caffé Vittoria is a historic North End institution that masterfully blends old-world Italian charm with genuinely exceptional pastries crafted using traditional baking techniques that yield impossibly light and airy results. Beyond the pastries, they excel at both classic espresso drinks and creative specialties like their standout Espresso Martini, while their legendary tiramisu and decadent hot chocolate draw crowds eager to linger in the vintage wood-lined space. It's the kind of timeless Boston spot where you can feel the history in the decor and taste it in every perfectly executed bite and sip.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
