    Wonderful resturant. Staff was very nice upon arrival. We were seated immediately, we had a reservation. Wait staff was very attentive and made good suggestions for dinner. Appetizers were outstanding. The North End, where Strega is located, has singers walking to the various restaurants and was very nice to listen to. We shared the Eggplant Stack and Mama’s Meatball. We also shared a very nice bottle of Chianti. Entrees were Chicken Parm and Eggplant Parm. Nice size portions, took some home for a lunch treat the following day. Desert is not offered on Friday and Saturday but there are plenty gelato, and pastry shops a short walking distance from Strega for espresso and a treat. We were very pleased and probably will make the hour drive north to dine at Strega again even though we live in Rhode Island and have our own version of the North End in Federal Hill with fine Italian Restaurants
