"North End restaurant Tony & Elaine’s rolled out the red-and-white checkered tablecloths at the beginning of 2019, serving nostalgic riffs on Italian favorites, such as spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parm, and fontina arancini. One can’t go wrong with the mushroom risotto, which pairs creamy risotto with a hearty helping of mixed mushrooms with herbs and a drizzle of truffle oil." - Nathan Tavares
