Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa ate a classic North End meal of pasta and espresso martinis.

“The Bachelor” star and his Massachusetts-native fiancée were spotted at a popular Boston restaurant this weekend, eating a classic North End meal of pasta, espresso martinis, and other Italian dishes. 

A spokesperson for Bricco in the North End told Boston.com that Season 29’s Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa, the Newton woman who received the final rose (and an engagement ring), dined at the restaurant Saturday with Pasquarosa’s family. They ordered meatballs, octopus, seabass, pasta, dry-aged ribeye, dessert, and the restaurant’s locally-famous espresso martinis.

The reality TV couple and family then went to the MIA Lounge, located on the roof of Umbria. All three restaurants are owned by DePasquale Ventures, the restaurant group from Frank DePasquale. 

“Grant and Juliana, along with her family, had a great time at Bricco and Umbria,” an emailed statement from Bricco management said. “They all seemed to get along really well and there were a lot of laughs at the table. Grant was a super nice guy and very respectful, and the whole party was very gracious and took good care of our staff.”

Pasquarosa also tagged Umbria in an Instagram story video with the caption “too many espresso martinis were had.”

Bostonians could be seeing more of the Bachelor Nation couple. People magazine reported that Ellis is interested in moving to Pasquarosa’s Boston. 

“I love the dynamic that her town has and that her family has, and I want to be close to that,” Ellis told the publication.
