Joe Tecce's Ristorante and Cafe

One of Boston's most popular destination restaurants

Founded in 1948, Joe Tecce's Restaurant, located in Boston's North End, has been serving traditional Neapolitan Italian food for over 50 years. This family-owned operation and Boston landmark offers classic Italian food with a European flair.
Joe Tecce's Restaurant did not come about overnight. Back in the 1940's, Joe Tecce started out by selling fruit on Salem Street in the North End. Soon Tecce joined his brother in the pizza business and in 1948 opened a pizza place of his own named Joe Tecce's. The two brothers worked from the hours of 5:00pm until 7:00am.
"The restaurant was built over a lifetime," explains owner Salvatore Tecce, who has been a lifelong North End resident and knows how to bring the unique "neighborhood flavor" to the table.
"The reputation, the food and the rooms was a way of life for my father, brothers and me. Joe Tecce's is a place where all walks of life gather to dine."
In 1966, the restaurant moved from the corner of Salem and Cross Streets to its present location on North Washington Street, where it has become one of the most popular destination restaurants in the city.
When Joe Tecce retired from the day-to-day operation of the restaurant business, his three sons, Sal, Joseph, and Robert took over and still run the restaurant today. Joseph Tecce is a chef in the restaurant, Robert welcomes guests and handles the finances, and Sal, in his own words, "works on whatever my two brother's don't do."
