Top 5 Italian Restaurants in Boston

Top Tier EditorialSourcesThe Boston Globe

  1. 1

    Giulia

    Cambridge

    Chef Michael Pagliarini's seasonal Italian restaurant near Porter Square — the Globe praises consistency, excellence, and the pasta-table experience.

  2. 2

    Pammy's

    Cambridge

    The Globe calls it classy but never pretentious — the Bolognese is the best you've ever had, cuts of meat and fish typical of Michelin-starred spots.

  3. 3

    La Padrona Boston

    Back Bay

    Jody Adams' splurge in the new Raffles Boston — the Globe says the room conjures a Fellini-era steakhouse, with secluded banquettes and muted lighting.

  4. 4

    Carmelina's

    North End

    The Globe's North End standout — modern Italian comfort food with fresh pastas, golden fried calamari, and littlenecks in white wine.

  5. 5

    Coppa

    South End

    The Globe calls Ken Oringer's enoteca 'a meat-lover's Italian paradiso' — house salumi and pork tagliatelle are the move.
