The Best New Restaurants Around Boston, July 2025 | Eater Boston

"Chef Tony Susi knows his way around a plate of pasta, and it shows at this charming revival of his early aughts North End hot spot Sage. Susi and business partner Jen Matarazzo have resuscitated the restaurant as Little Sage, tucked into the former Locale pizza kitchen on Hanover Street. The smoked ricotta ravioli with blistered cherry tomatoes and crispy bits of garlic is a must-order, as well as the puffy potato gnocchi and thick strands of chitarra blanketed in a pork shoulder ragu and topped with pecorino and fragrant fried rosemary. (If you’re mourning the loss of Locale’s pizza, keep your head up. The kitchen is still whipping up pies for takeout and delivery.)" - Erika Adams
