our story

Tucked away in the heart of Dorchester, Via Cannuccia is a hidden gem that brings a slice of Rome to the neighborhood. This cozy trattoria is a welcoming space where locals gather for delicious, authentic Italian dishes, served with love. On weekends, it transforms into a lively breakfast spot, offering fresh-baked pastries and breads to enjoy with neighbors or bring home.

We offer our community and beyond locally-sourced seasonal ingredients to create old-world tastes in a newly reimagined setting.

NEW YORK TIMES

“Via Cannuccia might be the closest Boston gets to a true Roman trattoria.”

BOSTON MAGAZINE

“Quaresima’s handcrafted pasta doesn’t just taste like Rome—it tastes like his Roman childhood."
