- TTimHawaii •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis is one of our favorites, because their homemade pasta and sauces are outstanding. We highly recommend all of them, especially the Mezzi Pacheri al Ragu! Their presentation is unique and interesting, and we have only experienced excellent waitstaff during our many visits. Highly recommend making advanced reservations through OpenTable, as this is a popular restaurant.More infoTrattoria Il PaninoPrice: Moderate• Italian• North End•4.5

From the time we arrived and walked into the awesome ambiance to our server Edward (who provided great service with a smile) to the waitresses that brought out our decadent and delicious food! Like EVERYTHING was so tasty! The drinks were not only beautiful, but super delish! Thank you for the experience! We will be back!More infoButtermilk & BourbonPrice: Moderate• Southern• Back Bay•4.5
- PpaulGreater Boston •13 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoIt’s it’s really hard to find an authentic restaurant irrespective of the cuisine and culture. This restaurant knocked it out of the park. I’ve dined all over the world and I can honestly say this is one of the best meals that I’ve had in the last 10 years. In addition to that, I didn’t have to remortgage the house to enjoy the food. This is my must stop place when I go to Boston from now on.More infoKrasiPrice: Expensive• Greek• Back Bay•4.8
