November 5, 2013 Remi

We were exhausted after running around the whole day, so we decided to eat relatively close to the hotel. We happened upon Remi for dinner. They have a very colorful decor with high ceilings – really quite stunning. I liked that the bread basket had so many options. A little goat cheese spread for the […]

October 24, 2013 Ribelle

Ribelle glows in bright red neon at night, the only thing to alert you that this nondescript building in Washington Squsre is Tim Maslow’s new restaurant. Ribelle, pronounced Ri-bell-ay, means rebel in Italian. We arrive around 7 on Wednesday to a half full restaurant, which is surprising. I’m obsessed with the lighting fixtures and the […]

September 20, 2013 Sportello

Sporetllo might be one of my all time favorite restaurants. The food there is always tasty and I dig the upscale diner set up. I had a few co-workers come in from out of town and I brought them here – we were one more than expected, and they couldn’t accommodate us, so we had […]

August 2, 2013 B Street Bar

Located in Newton Center, B Street used to be the Pie and Baking Co. In 2010 Ellen Kaplansky reinvented the bakery into this neighborhood eatery. It is a great location with plenty of on street and lot parking. We went on a Sunday night, and it was pretty empty. It was hard to get a […]

June 27, 2013 Cinquecentro

Cinquecentro took over the old space that Rocca once occupied. Located in the South End, at 500 Harrison Street, Cinquecentro translates into 500 in Italian. Here’s why this is one of the best spots in the South End, it has a huge free parking lot next door. Everything here is bold and makes a statement, […]

October 12, 2010 Il Casale

We ventured out here in the beginning of October for a second try. It was great the first time, but will it be consistently good the second time around? We order some of the same things, and some new things. We order the pistachio and burrata again ($5). Still amazing. The burrata is creamy and […]

October 6, 2010 Sportello

Sportello is another one of those places that has been on my list for quite some time. My birthday was coming up..and what better way to spend it than with good friends at a Barbara Lynch restaurant. The night was cold and rainy-thank goodness for the valet out front ($16).  Note that Menton, Barbara Lynch’s […]

June 7, 2010 Papa Razzi

The food just didn’t stand up to this food snobs high standards.

February 15, 2010 Ashmont Grill

After going to Tavolo the other night, we decided to go back for a second try. When we got there, it was closed for renovations. So we walked a block down the street to the Ashmont Grill, their sister restaurant. It was dim and chic inside with exposed brick and pictures of food spanning the […]

February 7, 2010 Il Casale (2/2010)

I’ve never been to Belmont before. Somehow in my head I made Belmont an hour from Boston. Yup, it’s 20 minutes. I have a confession to make, I love watching Chronicle. I saw Il Casale featured last year and it has been on my ‘must try’ list ever since. I read all these reviews saying […]
