Daily Catch Review

You've just got to love this place—for the noise, the intimacy, the complete absence of pretense, and, above all, the food. Shoulder-crowdingly small and always brightly lighted, the storefront restaurant, a local staple for more than 30 years, specializes in calamari dishes, black-squid-ink pastas, and linguine with clam sauce. There's something about a big skillet of linguine and calamari that would seem less perfect if served on fine white china.

    Daily Catch Review

    Though I had read about the Daily Catch, we were drawn to this tiny restaurant by the delicious smells wafting out. We had a fantastic lunch, particularly those of us who had the squid pasta. It was so good that we returned for lunch here the following day, and we are pretty discriminating diners.

    Excellent so-ital seafood spot

    With Giacomo's, one of the two best Southern Italian seafood spots in the North End. Also one of the tiniest restaurants in Boston, so expect a wait. Please note that the Daily Catch outpost in the Waterfront area by the Courthouse is miles below the North End location and a must to avoid.

    A bit more expensive than I expected

    For dinner the least expensive was fish and chips for 16.50. Other than the price it was great. Went there about 5:30 and had a nice quiet meal. Walking by the Barking Crab you could here the noise level was very high. I had met someone I had not seen in nearly 2 years and we wanted a chance to talk, so this was perfect. And the view was great. The waiter was very helpful with our dietary problems. Took a walk up to Fanieul Hall for desert after.
