"For loaded Italian plates and a more casual atmosphere, head to Carlo’s Cucina Italiana in Allston. This family-owned and operated spot has been dishing out saltimbocca and Sunday sauce since the 1970s. They also offer a hearty lunch menu with packed paninis and savory pasta." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares, Celina Colby, Eater Staff
