"The competition for the best scoop in Boston is fierce, but Toscanini’s might be the most dominant force in the scene. The legendary ice cream shop has received local and national acclaim including from the New York Times for its superior scoops, notably the pleasantly bitter burnt caramel and the B3 — brown butter, brown sugar, and brownies. Get both, and pair with a coffee or tea from local outfits Barismo and Mem. The shop also has a second location near Kendall Square." - Tanya Edwards
