what is the consensus of the top 5 sit down places in the north end? its so hard to tell which ones are tourist traps

I don’t agree with the idea that all “tourist traps” have bad food. Like mama Maria definitely gets out of towners but it’s still awesome. Same with famiglia Giorgio - line of tourists out the door but the freshhh pasta with veal + pork + beef bolognese is unmatched.
Lived in the hood for years and years, my fave for an expensive dinner are Prezza, Asaggio, Mare, vinoteca di Monica (the one on Richmond). For casual it’s Artu, aquapazza, and La Summa or beneventos if you want red sauce style

All of them are tourist traps but a few have good food. Aqua Pazza and Bricco have been kind to me. (They have basically the same menu.)

Bricco’s deli sandwiches are unspeakably fantastic

I think the north end is best for people who like seafood because they do have a few good seafood places you cant really replicate in the suburbs. if you just want chicken parm or some ziti with meat sauce you an get that anywhere within 45 min of boston

They all have the same menu with slightly different focus, they have a good portion of north end real estate.
