The Best Restaurants in Boston’s North End | Eater Boston

"After you’ve feasted at your favorite trattoria or walked up and down Hanover Street browsing pastry-filled windows, you’ll want to step into Caffe Vittoria for a cappuccino. Decorated with vintage espresso machines, celebrity photos, and memorabilia from the Bel Paese, Caffe Vittoria has been serving coffee and pastries since 1929. There’s an unwritten rule in Italy that mandates cappuccino should not be ordered in the afternoon — but this isn’t Italy. Indulge in a cappuccino, tiramisù, or affogato (hot espresso poured over creamy gelato). For those who want something a little boozy, the babà rum cake is a good choice with homage to its Neapolitan origins." - Erika Adams
