"Bova’s is nothing short of a Boston tradition. Founded in 1926 by Antonio Bova, the bakery continues to operate as a family-owned business in the North End nearly a century later. With a selection of breads, cookies, and prepared foods like arancini and stromboli, Bova’s is Boston’s go-to for Italian bakes. Stop in for their famous chocolate mousse brick (an extremely popular menu item at Bova’s, the bricks are large square-shaped slices of cake that come in a variety of flavors), lobster tails, and sfogliatelle. You can also make Bova’s the last stop to cap off a night out in the North End — the bakery is famously open 24/7." - Katie Draisen
