We stayed at the Marriott near the airport. Drive about 3 miles to here on a Monday night with a bottle of red wine in hand. Were seated immediately and received good service. I'd order the veal marsala over the creamy chicken saltimbocca. Mushroom appetizer was delicious.

This quaint little restaurant has some of the best food around. It's wood fired stoves & outdoor patio add atmosphere to this hidden gem.
You can taste the old time flavor the wood fired oven imparts on the food. If you're in the area & looking for a nice lunch, then do yourself the favor and experience Ciao for yourself.

They will make a sandwich on fresh baked Italian with any meat they have in the case...
Reviewed By robertinSJ - San Jose, California
The aroma of fresh bread!! A great little deli. We were drawn in by the smell of the bread and bought some olives, hard cheese and a sandwich to share for lunch. Around the corner is a small square in front of the Paul Revere house with benches where we sat and ate. After we ate we walked back and bought more olives,cheese and a loaf of bread to take home. I wish I lived in the neighborhood and could shop here regularly as there are many other products for cooking that I walk like in my pantry.

I do not know what all of those people who recently visited are talking about. We had tried this place when it first opened and thought I had one of the best pastries ever. Well we happened to be driving our friends home today and stopped for coffee. The coffee was good but all of the 6 pastries we chose were horrible.they were dry tasteless and seemed old. In fact I took mine back and swapped for a cookie which also tasted old. Maybe there is new baker or something but we would never return there again.

Bova's is on Salem Street in the North End of Boston. Seems to always be crowded but he line moves along very quickly. There is a another pastry shop on Hanover that attracts a very, very large crowd but my favorite is Bova's They offer really everything possible from an Italian bakery...and oh so great. Really a must place for that cannoli or special cookie.

I love eating on the deck of this restaurant, watching the boats and the airplanes landing at a distance. The food is amazing. The lobster roll is made of 100% lobster (not like a lot of expensive, fancy places downtown Boston where you pay outrageous prices for mayo,potatoes,bread, and eventually some chunks of - maybe - lobster). Clam chowder also is very good. It is a little pricy, but the fish is fresh (they also sell it on the spot) so I find it worth the price. The inside of the restaurant is pretty bare bones, I prefer going during the summer or when the weather is good because it is nicer to eat outside. The only thing really annoying is that they don't accept credit cards and you have to pay cash.

Based on all the reviews that I read I had to try the Italian sub at Monica’s. Great choice. This extra large sub was full of meat with cheese and toppings on a 12 inch hard roll. There was no skimping here on the fillings. They offer a variety of sandwiches as well as specialty lunch meats, cheeses, and fresh pasta. Wished I lived closer so that I could try them all.

It started with their prices being misleading in regards to their soft serve ice cream, I guess the prices are the same for both hard and soft. I ordered a medium soft serve and not only was I charged over five dollars it is not listed as to what sizes cost. Then came the nuts on a sundae. I was asked which type of nuts I would like and said peanuts. Now I have had many a sundae but when I am told the price is a dollar more than the price listed I naturally asked why the difference. One dollar for nuts was the response. I always thought hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry were standard toppings. I have a choice and will stay away from this place. Check out the convenience store located behind royal roast beef on Bennington St. Same ice cream, cheaper, cleaner, two dollar soft serve cones and no extra cost for nuts. And the staff is wonderful !

Forget about the endless lines at Mike's Pastry. Maria's is the real deal. They serve the most delicious lobster tails in the North End. Maria's pizzelles are scrumptious. Unlike other bakeries nearby, Maria's cannolli are never filled in advance. This assures that the shell will be crunchy when you finally dig in!

After a very long drive, we decided to stroll down the beach from our Airbnb to this neighborhood restaurant. The place was packed-full of locals. We were seated next to a group of six "goombahs" out for a Friday dinner without the wives. We were immediately welcomed "into the family"! Outstanding shrimp scampi and spaghetti with extra gaaalick. Will never forget this place....put this on your agenda....pronto!
