The 38 Best Restaurants in Boston | Eater Boston

"The first solo restaurant from James Beard Award winner Karen Akunowicz, Fox & the Knife was named one of Eater’s best new restaurants in the country when it opened in 2019, and today it remains Akunowicz’s love letter to Italian cooking, particularly the Emilia-Romagna region. Her stacked team consists of master bakers, pasta makers, and chefs who turn out beautiful dishes, such as spaghetti with clams, saffron, and tomato butter, and tagliatelle Bolognese. Pair it all with an amaro flight. Must-try dish: The luxurious focaccia, stuffed with melty mozzarella and creamy taleggio, is just as good as it sounds — and it makes for one hell of a cheese pull." - Erika Adams
