"We’re suckers for a perma-packed, high-energy Italian/Mediterranean restaurant with a busy bar and open kitchen. Scampo ticks all those boxes and more. Located in the basement of the Liberty Hotel (formerly the Charles Street jail), the restaurant has a large orange and wood-covered space, and an energetic staff that feels like they might break into a song and dance routine at any moment. It's a great spot for a group dinner where you can order shareable plates of crispy soft shell crab risotto and duck with celery root gnocchi. Or, just sit at the bar and get an appetizer and lobster pizza for under $60. photo credit: Natalie Schaefer" - Tanya Edwards
