"Via Cannuccia makes the best pasta in Dorchester and should be date night go-to. Use it when you’re trying to have one of those “let’s get out of the house and put on real clothes” nights—post up at a table in the colorful room covered with vintage-looking artwork, take advantage of the under-$30 wine list, and order a ton of plates off the vegetarian-friendly menu. The dishes rotate often, but look for the homemade gnocchi with butter and sage, baked chicken pie with mushrooms, and crispy eggplant parmigiana with tomato coulis and pesto basil." - tanya edwards, joel ang, dan secatore
