The Best Restaurants In The North End - Boston - The Infatuation

"Carmelina’s is one of those rare restaurants that make us reevaluate everything we thought we knew about what constitutes a great meal. The menu is small and features loads of seafood (this is, after all, a Sicilian spot), and in the dining room, you just might hear gasps of delight as servers carry piping hot pans of chicken parm out of the open kitchen. Our favorites here are the juicy seared tuna arrabbiata with briny olive tapenade and the lemony spaghetti, served with what seems like an entire bed of littleneck clams. If you only have time to visit one spot in the North End, make it this one. Just be sure to get a reservation unless you’re going for a late lunch or (very) early dinner." - lala thaddeus, tanya edwards
