"An offshoot of the Eastern Standard mothership, Standard Italian is holding its own in Fenway. Chef Brian Rae, an alum of famed Cambridge Italian restaurant Rialto, leads a crowd-pleasing menu of generously portioned pasta (the rye campanelle and buckwheat pappardelle are must-orders) plus entrees to share, like the crispy porchetta with sausage stuffing and crispy fingerling potatoes. If Rae’s Roman tripe stew is on the menu, count yourself lucky and order it straight away." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares, Celina Colby, Eater Staff
