"Put on your shiniest shoes for a night out at La Padrona, the glitzy Italian newcomer inside luxury hotel and residency Raffles in Back Bay. Named Eater Boston’s best new restaurant in 2024, this showstopper has just about everything you want in a big, spendy night out: A sexy dining room buzzing with energy, extravagant entrees to share with the table, and ice-cold martini service to boot. Must-try dish: The competition is stiff, but the milk-braised rabbit ragu fazzoletti is one of the best pasta dishes in town." - Erika Adams
