    Better than the North End. We both got the Frutti de marre. Pasta and lots of fresh seafood! The chacutteri board was one of the best we have had. Wine selection great. Enjoyed a bottle of Borrolo. Making the rez was easy. We were a few minutes late and they sat us right away. Seem very organized with seating people quickly. Nice decor for Christmas. We were able to walk to the Emerson Colonial theater after dinner. It was a 3 min walk. We sat around 5 pm and had an app, dinner, and had time to spare getting to the show. Thank you Maggianos!

    Krasi delivers a bustling, upscale Mediterranean dining experience with standout Greek dishes and attentive service in a slightly cramped setting. Although my table by the door felt drafty and some offerings, like the octopus, seemed pricey for their portions, the tableside tzatziki preparation and especially the flavorful, filling lamb made it worthwhile. The knowledgeable staff’s thoughtful wine recommendations and the overall quality of ingredients make Krasi an ideal choice for special occasions or a memorable date night.
