restaurants in Boston?

DH and I are going to Boston this weekend, any recommendations on where to eat? We are staying near the North End so I want to try some of the great Italian restaurants there but there are so many to choose from! Any help would be much appreciated, TIA!

My FAVORITE PLACE in Boston is Mike's pastry's in the North End!!! The best green almond paste cookies, pignoli cookies, cannoli's!!! The line on the weekends is always out the door...BUT WORTH THE WAIT!!!! I make my sister bring them down when she comes in to visit. Or I must admit....You can order online for next day shipping...( and we did)!Chat Icon

The restaurant I love there, is Stephanie's on Newbury! The food is DELISH!!!

My favorite restaurant in the North End is Al Dente...they have the best homemade pasta and vodka sauce...one of their special appetizers are these outrageous spinach crepes in a parmesean cream sauce...and definitely Mike's Pastry...way better than Modern and usually a little bit shorter of a line!

Not in the North End, in East Boston, but Santarpio's makes awesome pizza

Pomodoro's used to be great, but a quick look online and looks like they've gone downhill a bit.

Also, not italian but great places to eat:

Kingfish Hall in Faneuil Hall
Top of the Hub at the Pru
Fire & Ice
D.ic.k's Last Resort is a fun night out too.
Black Rose in Faneuil Hall is a bar at night, but they have great food for lunch.


If you have a car and want some stuff that is great local food and yet touristy at the same time
Kelly's on Revere Beach
Hilltop Steak House on Rt 1 in Saugus
Clam Box - Ipswich MA
Woodman's - Essex
1640 Hart House - Ipswich

Go to Finale for desserts! It's located right by the Park Plaze hotel.

We just got back and Al Dente was amazing! Based on your rec, we got the spinach crepes and they were the best thing I ate all weekend (with the exception of the cannoli's from both Modern AND Mikes of course)! Thanks!

Not italian but there is an awesome thai restaurant right across the street from The Pru on Boyleston. I forget the name but you go down a few stairs - it's the only thai place on the block.
