Cute European vibes. Homey. Cozy. Incredibly friendly waitstaff. And the absolute best espresso martini I have had the pleasure of trying. Pastries are great, and so is the coffee. But my goodness... that martini.

Great place! A nice homey feeling and lots of sweets. They have a big variety of pastries and have ice cream, too. I highly recommend it. I can say that whatever you want, they have something to satisfy your sweet tooth.

I love this local Cafe in the heart of North end. This place speaks of history, culture and heritage. This Cafe has thrived in this locality since 1920s. They have their old machines on display. In terms of food and drinks, they have really good desserts and coffee or dessert cocktails. I wish they had savory snack items to break the sweet taste and allow us to enjoy the sweet more.They only accept cash so make sure to take cash with you!

CASH ONLY. You always need to know that, You can find nearby ATMs. Just amazing every time we visit.This time we had :Tiramisu(The best you will ever have)Cannoli( It is great especially the filling)Eclair (One of the best I ever had)Hot Chocolate ( just brilliant especially with whipped cream)Espresso Martini (Also just amazing)Usually busy , a bit of a wait on the weekend but totally worth it , Service is great too, waitresses are nice !

My all time favorite place in all of Boston hands down. The best italian deserts and coffee you will find on this side of the world. Have missed it since I have moved to NY. Does anyone know any places in NYC that can compare to this? Please let me know!

Someone recommended us the tiramisu, and they were right, it was amazing! If you have the chance, go try it. Customer service is not great but the tiramisu is worth it.

Caffe Vittoria is the oldest Italian-style coffee shop in Norrh End, Boston. The interior decoration is full of nostalgia and taste. I really like its Cappuccino and Tiramisu. I have been there twice after my dinner at a restaurant in North End. Cash only.

Im giving it 4 stars for ambience and location. The service is hit or miss. Today we had a good waitress. The pastry is always fresh, coffee not as good as I remember.

Nice place, good coffee and desserts. They take cash only

We ordered Lobster tail, eclair and hot chocolate. the hot chocolate was my favorite! One of the best! And the lobster tail looks and tastes amazing! Our waitress was super lovey too. The only downside was we had to pay in cash.

The best cappuccino Ive ever had. Reminds me of a Cafe Notable in Argentina. Cash only.

Cafe Vittoria is the best coffee youre going to find in the north end, bar none. Its worth walking an hour to come here.

Cozy bustling little place for grabbing a espresso/latte/cappuccino also mixed drinks. Everyone was pleasant even though it was a busy Saturday night and the place was packed. This was my first time here at Vittoria and I cant wait to go back!

Wow! Very knowledgeable and nice staff. The coffee and dessert was incredible. And the atmosphere was very soothing, amazing caffe!

Perfect cafe to sit, visit, and people watch on Saturday am. Best cappuccino Ive had since Italy. Reminds me of Vicenza. Not really a breakfast restaurant, but they have an assortment of dessert pasteries. This is place is a gem.

Amazing cappuccinos and cool old world ambiance. A local passerby recommended it to us, and we’d recommend it too!!

While standing on the sidewalk nearby, I observed an employee follow customers out of Caffe Vittoria after they had bought coffees and tell then they could not sit at Caffe Vittorias outdoor seating while drinking the beverages they had just purchased because they also had with them pastries they had bought next door at Mikes Pastry (which, by the way, has earned its legendary reputation with delicious pastries, great prices, and excellent customer service).When the customers pointed out that they were consuming beverages they had *just bought* from Caffe Vittoria, the employee told them they had to throw away their pastries from Mikes or leave. Once she had run off her own customers, she walked back into Caffe Vittoria loudly asking herself whats wrong with these people?Im glad I didnt make the mistake of supporting the rude, irrational people at Caffe Vittoria like these people had.

An authentic Italian cafe. Extensive menu of coffees, desserts, and beverages. Vintage espresso machines on display.

Excellent cappuccino, Italian soda, gelato and desserts. Cash only. Great place to stop for Italian coffee.

Really great mocha here. They make it with chocolate milk and it really makes a great flavor.

They have really nice cheesecake. You can choose to sit inside or outside. Overall the environment is so friendly. It seemed like everybody know each other here and you are exposed to the positivity of this place. The staff are friendly and polite too. The only downside is that they accept only cash.

Best place on Hanover street for an excellent coffee and pastry or gelati. Service is excellent too. Dont forget its cash only! Loved my chocolate canoli with pistachios and the double Macchiato!

When I lived in Boston, I always came here for dessert and a drink after having dinner in the North End. Caffe Vittoria is particularly magical in the winter and especially around Christmas. I really miss this place. There is nothing else like it that Ive been to in any other Italian neighborhood of a city.

They make great cannolis and coffee better then waiting in mikes pastry’s long line

A quaint little spot to grab an Italian coffee and pastry. I especially loved seeing all of the espresso machines that the caffe has collected to display.This caffe really reminded me of being back in Italy. You could walk into a bar, grab a quick coffee, say hello to friends, and then run off to continue your day. At Caffe Vittoria, much of the same was happening. Locals were stopping in to say hello and get their morning coffee.We stopped in hoping to enjoy breakfast pastries and a coffee. We have young children, and this isnt an ideal place to stop if youre worried about getting them something to eat also. The pastries are all rather dessert-like, except of course the biscotti.We ordered a cappuccino, americano, and a Napelatano. The pastry was yummy and very rich. The coffees were perfect. Its definitely a great place to stop for a coffee break and to have a seat and watch some of the world go by.

Great visit, prices were really good and lovely service too. Amazing Cappuccino; biscottis are only $1 - order 2.

It’s a classic Italian goodness and charm. The Tiramisu along with cappuccino is highly recommended!

By reading the reviews I guess maybe I went on a wrong day, they served me the WORST latte Ive ever tryed, the girl looked like she did not know what she was doing, the staff was all over the place clueless, they tryed to be nice tho, the pastry did not looked appealing at all, looked old. The place was very cute tho, and has a nice european enviroment. I was expecting an authentic italian coffee since this place is located in the well known italian community at Norh End in Boston MA. Very dissapointed.

Lovely atmosphere, coffee, and desserts. The sort of place that makes you feel warm and comfortable, and which inspires good conversation. Highly recommend.

I was a little bummed out by the service. I ordered a single cappuccino but it took 15 minutes to come. When I said I was in a slight rush to get to church, the larger waitress with the dyed blonde hair was crabby about getting the bill to me quickly. Overall, the employees were slightly unwelcoming and had poor attitudes toward the customers - I witnessed this with other tables as well. I liked my cappuccino - it was unique with the cocoa powder! I just didn’t need it to be served with that side of sass.

A great spot for coffee before standing in line for treats at Mike’s Pastry.

Every time I visit Boston I feel I have to go to this place. I love the atmosphere, the old coffee machines. They make almost all types of coffees. My favorite is one of their signature drinks “ Italia” and of course the Chocolate Cannoli.

Fantastic little spot. We stopped here for a cappuccino after we got cannolis. I loved the vibe of the place, very old school cool. The staff was friendly. Wish it wasn’t cash only but trust goes with the old school cool vibe I guess.

Best cappuccino in town. Nice authentic Italian Cafe. Ive been going to this place for a long time and always enjoyed having a cappuccino with a dessert. If youre visiting highly recommended.

Great drinks! Staff could be friendlier and more attentive. Had two different coffee drinks and they were excellent

Staff is consistently rude. Coffee is excellent and so is the tiramisu.

Cash only!! Ordered the cappuccino! They were fast with service and cappuccino was good!

We got a Tiramisu Tray, 1 caffe mocha and a speciality drink B-52 to go. The tiramisu is seriously the best in the Boston area. The drinks were great. The B-52 was quite strong (just how one should drink on nye). The tiramisu was great even after 2 days. They had gelato as well which looked really creamy and legit. The staff was wearing masks and very accommodating. They waited till we got the cash as we had forgotten that the this establishment is cash only. Make sure to carry cash. The store is always packed. So might be difficult to get a table.

Beautiful!Everything we tried/tasted was excellent!I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who has the taste for great Italian after dinner dessert and drink!

Tiramisu and cappuccino are damn good!

Service is not good.... One of the pastries was not fresh.... It used to be a great cafeteria to stop by and enjoy all kinds of desert... Got overcharged slightly....... Not sure if the ownership changed, but definitely needs some adjustments.

Wonderful cafe in the north end. Very good tiramisu and cannolis. Cash only though

Very yummy pastries, hot chocolate, gelato, and coffee! a great spot for after dinner, as there are lots of tables

Cash only! Well worth it!

Delicious cappuccinos and pastries!

The affogato here is probably the best coffee beverage Ive ever had in my life. Wherever you eat in the north end dont bother looking at their dessert menu, just come here afterwards.

A gem of the north end. Culture, heritage, and history decorate the inside of this establishment. The coffee is delicious and the pastries scrumptious. A must visit when looking for some respite and sweet indulgence

Lovely coffee and desserts! Ordered an Espresso Affogato and a Napoletane to-go! 😋

Cash only, limited seating but good coffee and treats, gelato. Worth a visit.

Quite disappointing.We love the North End, the vibe, the pretty flower lined streets humming with people, the fun cafes and authentic Italian restaurants. The interior is unique, and the location is great, the prices are comparable to similar places for this location. The coffee is well below average for any venue that claims to be traditional Italian, the cappuccino looked good but was watered down (as if the same beans were used twice), the double espresso looked and tasted like a watered down Americano made out of old low quality cheap beans, the floors countertop and other surfaces were dirty, the staff was congregating leisurely in front of the tables chatting loudly while people were waiting for service, cash only and no receipt when requested. It sure seems like the staff is counting on the location, high traffic and high prices, and couldnt care less about the quality of anything. This is the second time weve had the same observations and I dont think there will be a third, given the wealth of awesome coffee shops with high quality espresso drinks and descent service in Boston.

A wide variety of coffee and teas. Friendly severs and the fruit tart are delicious

Place was clean. Bathrooms were clean and tidy. Food looked amazing. Coffee seemd hot.

Best coffee I found in throughout all of Boston and NYC. I have an Italian heritage and felt right at home there. I also felt like I was in a movie scene from one of those classic Italian mobster movies. I was only in Boston for 7 days but visited here 3 out of 7 days. If youre an Australian looking for coffee just like back at home then this is the place for you!

Good quality pastries and excellent coffee. Service was not good. Both times I went waiters spent more time talking to each other than anything else.

Understaffed so service was a bit slow but beyond that the product was quality. Don’t expect to be able to eat your mikes pastry here (understandable, but annoying), overall rating: cute.

Cappuccino and a cannoli. Excellent. Very quaint.

Wonderful Cappuccino. Excellent atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Delicious coffees and desserts! The prices were very responsible for the north end and Boston in general, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was really nice. The decor included lots of old espresso and coffee machines, taking us back in time. Overall had a great time and cant wait to go back! The only tricky part is parking, dont think youll find street parking in the north end, prepare for a garage.

We stopped here while wandering through little Italy during our Freedom Trail walk through Boston. The espressos were of good quality and the cannoli was excellent - the right amount of sweetness and a crispy pastry. There is plenty of seating and the service was great. Definitely worth a stop.

Caffe Vittoria was very nice. They have very quick and friendly service and sit in the middle of little Italy. The street they are on is great for seeing the sights around it. The Paul Revere house is just down the road from here as well as a great pizza place. They have gelato and coffee and all sorts of pastries. The atmosphere is very nice with quiet music playing and and overall very pleasant vibe. Good place to go, I would recommend it.

We finish every food tour with a stop a Caffe Vittoria!!! The B-25 is my favorite and do not leave without having the tiramisu!! The staff is always so welcoming and fun.

This place is so goood! The tiramisu is to die for! Make sure you take cash when you visit. They don’t accept cards 😊

Cash only. Good service. The drinks and food are delicious and outstanding! It’s a place with history and stories. Pretty cool to try out. I came three times and tried three different coffee with alcohol. They are all pretty good.

Tourist trap like everything else in North end. Cash only which is fine, but bring me back the exact change dont decide to keep 35 cents of my change for yourself. I would have gave a dollar tip on a less than $3 coffee but since they decided to create their own tip they lost out.

I ordered two cup of drinks. Hot coco and cappuccino. Italian style coffee. The atmosphere of the cafe was cozy

The only place in Boston they are not friendly is Little Italy.

Iconic spot where a nice cup of Cappucino and Traditional Canoli comes with a smile. Highly recommend that folks try their other offerings too.

Absolutely the best cappuccino in the city.Great old school atmosphere with awesome service and product.A must stop if youre in the North End...

Stopped in for a hot cocoa. Holy s*#!. Best one i’ve ever had. I will be back to try the menu up and down.

Awesome place. So many cool antique stuff. Very nice coffee. You wanna try cappuccino and Tiramisu. Also they have a great variety of special coffees. Keep in mind its hard to find parking here and they accept only cash. The Citizens bank is just across the street.

Avoid. Dirty service and dirty cafe. There are a lot better cafes with better service in the area.

In the mood for a cannoli, napoleone, eclair, or cappuccino the real Italian style while sightseeing on the North End? Then this is your perfect spot to visit. The café exudes a wonderful Italian atmosphere, and the pastries, coffees, and drinks are delightful. My vanilla cannoli had a crunchy biscuit with a tender ricotta cream filling, and my cappuccino was steaming hot, topped with a nice layer of milk foam and chocolate dusting. The real thing.

Amazing caffe mocha and cappuccino, fun place to sit and play a crossword puzzle while sipping espresso drinks. Very busy, but cool history and near a lot of other sites and pattiseries.

Good cappuccino, and a nice patio but the waitresses were a bit rude unfortunately. Hopefully it was a just a bad day.

Espresso with a shot of Jameson and a biscotti makes for a nice break on a bike ride. Most restaurants and cafes have outdoor seating taking up parking spaces on both sides of the street so parking it tough. So, ride a bike! :)

Tiramisu! All time favorite here.

The coffee and espresso was great. Our waitress even remembered us from the night prior. A must go to.

Great customer service Great Coffee.The ice cream was awesome

I rarely leave reviews but the cappuccinos and lattes here are the best I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend going here!

Note: Cash OnlyIt’s Crowded at night but in a good way. The place has a lovely atmosphere; alive with music, new couples kissing, and family get-togethers. The back of this cafe is open and you can see the old men sitting outdoors and telling stories. It felt like a different country.We had affogato and the tiramisu. Both recommended. Yummy.

After a nice dinner, this is the place to be for some great desserts. The hot chocolate and cheesecake are my favorites. Its a cash-only establishment. The service is excellent.

Lavazza coffee! What else do I need to say? If you love coffee then stop by Caffe Vittoria.

Very tasty cannoli and Rum Cake. Old Italian atmosphere. Cannoli was stuffed with ricotta and chocolate chips. The cherry soda I had was flavorful

This place is very charming with its feel of a real authentic Italian cafe right in the heart of the North End. Excellent expresso and pastries. I believe they’re known for their cappuccinos which I order all the time! Fun fact.. they also serve liquor so great late night after dinner place to grab expresso martinis away from the other popular spots in the area. Cash only!

The cappucino is fantastic. Perfect foam on top. Wanted to show out of town friends the old part of the restaurant, but apparently thats closed during the daytime hours.

Quaint cafe in the heart of the North End. Great service, friendly staff, and excellent coffee and dessert options. We enjoyed our selections and we’re looking forward to coming again on our next trip to Boston!

I come here whenever I’m in town to get that classic Italian cafe vibe. Prices are decent, espressos are good, and the service is solid. It’s all very good...but let’s be honest - I’m here for the vibe.

One of the best Italian pastry - tiramisu. Thank you 😊

Old school Italian coffee and desserts. Cash only. Perfect mix of locals and tourists. Quaint and loud and bustling just the way it should be.

Great coffee and people watching. Bring cash - no credit cards

Comfortable relaxing atmosphere & friendly staff

Extremely bad service. Rude staff. Stay away from this place. The waitress that helped us had an attitude as if something really bad had just happened to her. They had great coffee that I couldn’t enjoy due to the horrible service I received from not just one but two waitresses. I was going to ask for another cup of coffee but my son said let’s get the eff out of this dump.

I took some food from Mikes Pastry, and wanted a nice place to eat it. Since Vittoria was just next door, with some tables outside, I stepped in to order some coffee to go with Mikes cannoliThe place was mostly empty, waitresses were either on their phones, or chatting idly, and the nearest one asked if I wanted my order to go, or dine in. When I said dine in, she said I can sit anywhere, but I am not allowed to eat anything from Mikes Pastry, eyeing the box we had from there.I was surprised at her attitude, but attributed to having a long day, and perhaps she dealt with a lot of people who sat on their table with Mikes pastries without ordering anything, eating and then leaving. So I politely asked if we can eat the pastries while having their coffee. She curtly said no, I can order from them and leave, and THEN eat from Mikes Pastry.This was simply not logical to me in any sense. I would have happily enjoyed their coffee/espresso to go with the pastries, and that would have made great sense given theyre right next door. But to take the complete opposite route is simply discouraging me as a paying customer, especially with the curt responses they had.

Music is very good. Coffee is very good. Service is very relaxed 🙂

A great place in a cold winter night for a coffee or tea with some delicious Italian pastries.The service was ok

One of the best cafes Ive been in a long time. A quaint and lovely place, with friendly staff and fantastic menu. The coffee and sweets honestly gave me such a happiness burst! If you have some time to spend in a relaxing and warm atmosphere with a good coffee and sweets, this is the place for you.

It was great desserts, coffee and a good crowd...nice.to see the north end busy again

Poor service. Nice decoration business. Management on social distancing: poor. Only cash, but the menu must be found online. Coffee is not hot, it is colder than hot. I repeat very poor customer service. Very uncomfortable environment.

Our choice of dessert and after dinner drinks in the North End.

Busy little cafe but once you find a seat you wont be disappointed!!! Amazing specialty coffees and tea mistos and unbelievable pastries. Biggest Lobster Tails in little italy. Yum!!!!
