The best bakeries, pizzerias, and restaurants in the Hub’s Little Italy
By by Tommy Ranucci for Eaters – Boston loves Italian food, and there’s no better neighborhood to find the stuff than the North End. In this hub of marinara, a diner can find handmade ricotta gnocchi, margherita pizza, arancini, veal saltimbocca, and so much more.
The old Italian proverb “chi mangia bene, vive bene” (which translates roughly to “those who eat well live well”) is a way of life for restaurants and diners in the North End.
From Hanover Street to Salem Street to North Square Park, this neighborhood boasts an incredibly high concentration of Italian American restaurants, trattorias, delis, and bakeries.
One can wine and dine in style over an eight-course dinner or casually snack on pizza and cannoli while sightseeing.
Start your exploration of the North End with these excellent spots.
