"The North End is awash in Italian restaurants — this is arguably the U.S.’s most famous Little Italy, after all — but there are a few spots that stand out amid a sea of spaghetti. Carmelina’s is one of those restaurants. The menu is rooted in coastal Sicilian fare, which means there’s a lot of seafood (mussels, calamari, shrimp, clams, you name it) and there’s also a ton of pasta, from carbonara and fettuccine to Carmelina’s famed Sunday Macaroni, with penne, meatballs, Sulmona sausage, and beef rib tossed in a tomato sauce and a dollop of whipped ricotta on top." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares, Celina Colby, Eater Staff
