Crazy Good Dining
The latest outpost for DePasquale Ventures of Mare and Bricco fame, AquaPazza (135 Richmond St., 857-350-3105, aquapazza-boston.com) recently made its debut in the North End. Translated as “crazy water,” this Italian eatery promises seafood, and lots of it. Both small plates and full entrees are available, from raw bar items like oysters, tuna crudo and shrimp cocktail to intriguing dishes like crab carbonara, scallop ceviche, grilled octopus and the daily whole fish. Meat even gets its due with the Delmonico ribeye, while the bar offers a wide selection of wine by the glass and bottle along with creative cocktails and a select list of both regional and Italian craft beers.
