A welcoming contemporary restaurant with a touch of rustic charm, State Street Provisions is today’s answer to the taverns that once offered respite to the fishermen and tradesmen who worked in Boston’s bustling Long Wharf. Historically inspired but forward thinking food and drink menus feature fresh ingredients from near and far, while the comfortable space meets the needs and passing fancies of residents, workers and visitors alike. State Street Provisions is located at the intersection of State Street and Atlantic Avenue on Long Wharf, one of Boston’s most storied landmarks. Breaking ground in 1710, the Wharf was a vibrant hub for the Colonial U.S. shipping industry and originally extended nearly half a mile from the shoreline at Faneuil Hall.

Always a great experience at Maggiano’s! My only take back is there booths and tables can be congested. I server Tomas was phenomenal and the food was very good. I will always comeback here. They do things the right way!

Only ding on the service was that following shift change, we had trouble getting our check. Only ding on the "chowda" was it could have been a little warmer. Otherwise, this remains a great spot for a good meal!

This is the 2nd time at shy bird for brunch. Went with my daughters,24 & 21 and they loved it as much as I did. Started with the grilled banana bread. Delicious. I had the chicken Benedict and daughters had a wrap and a burrito. All meals were generous and very tasty. When I am in southie I will be sure to include a stop at shy bird.
