Intimate Italian dining in the North End. Large open front overlooking all the action on Hanover St, the main street in the North End. Marble tables, brick walls, large Black and White photos of the family in Sicily. This is truly like taking a trip to an

On a pizza loverâs bucket list. The original location had a line that quickly moved. Guys chose to get slices of pepperoni to go. No congregating at the bar. Location in a neighborhood on building corner. Worth the walk. Check the bucket list.

Dino's is a little place located in Boston's North End located a short walk from the touristy Hanover Street. Its in the heart and soul on a tight street where walking is best surrounded by the smaller shops frequented by the people who live in the area. Definitely Italian, their sauce is wonderful, the service is simple, and the entire place is about 7 or 8 tables. You feel like you are dining at friends house. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the small wine selection is perfect fr the dishes they serve. This is not haute cuisine, this is dining with your Uncle Dino and you'll be glad you did.

In a beautifully maintained classic house on a small neighborhood square, this idyllic restaurant has exceptional preparations from the highest quality ingredients. The ambiance is understated class which fits perfectly with the structure in which it's housed. And then there's the waitstaff which seamlessly flows (after you've gotten past the not so welcoming front door personnel) with whatever is appropriate at the time from the beginning of the meal to the end. Thanks, Enrique (and your bus boy)! When all was done, it ranked with other top meals that I've had around the world over the years. Oh, for what it's worth, the wine list is solely Italian. There's quite an array. As someone who considers himself quite knowledgeable about wines, I had to lean heavily on Enrique for assistance. He came through with an excellent recommendation which wasn't even, in the scheme of things, particularly expensive.

My husband and I stopped in Pinocchios pizza after reading the reviews on trip advisor and from a blog. I love the thicker Sicilian pizza and this was delicious! I had a great combination of toppings, sauce and just the right crunch on that delicious crust. I would definitely go back for more and would recommend this if you were visiting Cambridge or Harvard University. Pizza sold by the slice or by the pie and they also sell pastas. Limited seating.

I've dined at Toscano multiple times, and each experience has been fantastic. The atmosphere of Toscano pulls you into the restaurant and into the right attitude for their dining experience. The staff is very helpful, and the food quality is very good. The pasta is handmade and upon tasting it, we laughed because if helped us understand the saying "perfectly cooked pasta".

This small two-sided shop (one side for sandwich and salad prep...the other for fresh pasta to go and drinks) is VERY good at what it does. It doesnât have seating, but grab an Italian sandwich and find a nearby historic square to dine al fresco. My calabrese special (Prosciutto ham, buffalo mozzarell, tomatoes, pesto and balsamic) was just that...special. Tip: a âsmallâ will do except the most hungry. Prices are very reasonable for the quality! A small sandwich is about $12. Note: there are no tables here, but sister spots close by do.

We went for an early casual family dinner. Staff welcoming and very accommodating, with service excellent. Menu explained including what to expect with their pizza. We started with calamari which was perfectly fried, crisp and not greasy. The Margherita pizza and the prosciutto were excellent. But the best was the swordfish. Great atmosphere.

Small local venue that is a happy place with excellent drinks and food. But the service is even better. Just a store front along the very commercial section of Cambridge Street and parking is a challenge but worth the effort. Italian as good as Federal Hill pin Providence and better than most in the North End of Boston.

Finally got a reservation. The question was: is it really the best restaurant in Cambridge? And the conclusion is: itâs a definite contender. It had a pleasant ambience and we enjoyed in particular that it has cloth covered benches and sound proofing. I had the boar tagliatelle and it was very good as was our dessert: an amaretto almond torte. Also they served a blue flower earl grey tea which I had never had before and really enjoyed
