The 38 Best Restaurants in Boston | Eater Boston

"This tiny gift of a restaurant — truly, the dining room is not much bigger than yours at home — has quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in Boston’s saturated Italian restaurant scene. The tightly edited menu features a handful of pizzas, pasta, and small plates that are all hits, from the clams bathing in a broth studded with melt-in-your-mouth guanciale to the tiny pockets of cappelletti bursting with warm taleggio cheese. Don’t leave without ordering a bowl of tiramisu at the end of the meal. If you drive: Parking on Centre Street is free but fills up quickly. Head for the large municipal lot behind Casa Verde instead; it’s also free, and it is located one block away from the restaurant." - Erika Adams
