The Best Restaurants on Newbury Street in Boston | Eater Boston

"Enter through sibling restaurant Faccia a Faccia and ask the host to point you to the staircase that will take you downstairs to Bar Pallino. Once downstairs, you’ll enter a sleek, dimly lit space, intended to evoke a modern Paris wine bar. Grab a table along the record–lined walls, or sit at the bar and order a glass of natural wine from the impressive program. Alternatively, opt for an expertly mixed cocktail (mezcal is a specialty). The rotating menu includes shareable plates like ricotta toast, stuffed olives, grilled lamb ribs, and fresh pasta from the Faccia a Faccia menu. The fresh gelato is also a hit. Bar Pallino hosts gluten-free pizza nights — keep an eye out on Instagram." - Anna Darrow
