"Caffé Vittoria is one of those timeless Boston spots that hits all the right notes. The desserts were absolutely out of this world—especially the tiramisu, the rum cake, and the pistachio treats, each bursting with rich flavor and beautifully balanced sweetness. Paired with one of their excellent espresso martinis, it was dessert perfection. The café itself has a lively, buzzing atmosphere that makes it feel warm, inviting, and unmistakably authentic. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger, enjoy the energy, and savor every bite. One important note: it’s cash only, so come prepared. For anyone with a sweet tooth or looking for a classic experience, Caffé Vittoria is a must."

"Café Vittoria in North Boston exudes vintage Italian charm with its rustic wood interiors. I ordered the Cioccolato Caldo, a luxuriously thick hot chocolate topped with whipped cream—it was rich and comforting. The Choco Mousse Cake and Tiramisu were both excellent; the mousse was light and decadent, while the tiramisu struck the perfect espresso-mascarpone balance. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes. A quick tip: they only take cash, so plan ahead. Overall, Café Vittoria is a North End gem—a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian desserts in a warm, old-world setting."

"We went on Saturday evening because we heard it has very good tiramisu. It was a busy day but they could give us a table immediately, but it was right next to the bathroom. I could smell the air freshener every time someone opened the door and had to share the space with people lining up for the bathroom. Service was good and bad. The hostess who seated us just left us there. We were trying to be patient but waited for about 15 minutes. The crowd slowed down a little and nobody came to take our order till we found they did not send us a server. We saw another table was experiencing the same. But the server was friendly once she was assigned to our table. Food is good but nothing incredibly special. My sfogliatella got pretty good layers but it did not look like the very flaky one other people posted. I really wonder why. Tiramisu is very airy and light. Food was good, but was it worth a trip? I would say no. It is a good spot to check if you are already in North End."

"Charming and bustling cafe right in the middle of Hanover. Seat yourself and a server will come around and take your order. Great spot to sit, grab an espresso and a pastry before or after dinner. Coffee is really good with plenty of choices and the selection and quality of pastries rivals the neighboring larger pastry shops. And you get to actually sit down and enjoy. Cash only"

"CASH ONLY! My favorite cafe in Little Italy / North End area. Incredibly chill, beautiful amber lighting inside to set the vibe. Great to chat and catch up with some friends, 1-4 people is best imo. Portions are pretty big. Staff is soooo kind and attentive. When busy there’s an hour limit on seats! Desserts wise cheesecake is awesome. The other biscotti are better than the anise biscotti. Eclair was huge"
