"Anchovies looks like a standard little pub that you can find in just about any Boston neighborhood. But standard little pubs usually aren’t filled with people housing burrata ravioli and linguini with clams at one in the morning. Is this place a dive? An Italian restaurant? A little of both? It doesn’t matter, because it’s the type of easy-going and fun place where you might make new friends by the end of the night. It’s hard to have a bad time here, and that applies whether you’re there for the chicken parm or to sit at the bar by yourself with a beer." - dan secatore
