Pazza on Porter is a vibrant Italian eatery where homemade pasta and lively atmosphere meet, making it the perfect spot for dining and cocktails in East Boston.
"Italian restaurant Pazza on Porter is serving up its regular menu on New Year’s Eve but will also have a live DJ and Knob Creek cocktail specials from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. At midnight enjoy a complimentary champagne toast. Plus, you can make it a double feature and head back to Pazza the following morning for the restaurant’s pajama-themed New Year’s Day brunch. Reservations for both days are available here." - Celina Colby, Erika Adams
"Just like Nonna’s kitchen, this stylish Italian spot in East Boston can feed a crowd. Make a reservation for the sleek red banquets indoors or on the expansive back patio. Choose from a menu of classic dishes like garlic bread, Tuscan pesto chicken pasta, and Italian cutlets, plus a build-your-own parm option. After dinner check out Next Door, the craft cocktail speakeasy hidden behind a secret door." - Celina Colby, Erika Adams, Karen Wilber
"The patio at Eastie’s Pazza on Porter is officially open, too, and the Italian spot is now slinging lunch on Fridays, plus $1 oysters from noon to 4 p.m." - Nathan Tavares
"East Boston Italian restaurant Pazza on Porter is throwing two Halloween parties Saturday, October 29. The first, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., is kid-friendly, with a costume party and treats for children who dress up, a photographer taking family photos, themed pancakes, and free drinks for little ones. The second event, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., is a 21-plus costume party with prizes for the best-dressed, a DJ, and food and drink specials like pumpkin gnocchi with sage and brown butter sauce and a pumpkin-spice vodka shot." - Adam H. Callaghan
"This East Boston newcomer has only been around since late 2019 but has already gained popularity for its satisfying menu of Italian food. During the pandemic, all pastas are $10 and free delivery is available to East Boston, Winthrop, Chelsea, and the Beachmont section of Revere, noon to 9 p.m. daily. For those who don’t want to have to think too much, try one of the $40 date-night combos for two; one of the options includes a bottle of Chianti, burrata, alla Pazza (fusilli with vodka sauce, sausage, and mushrooms), Bolognese, and cannoli. Order: (617) 418-5702 / Official Site" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
