About the restaurant

Trattoria Il Panino is the kind of place that one would expect to find along the Amalfi Coast. It is a warm, friendly, unpretentious and a food-focused environment. From the casual and positive energy of the atmosphere and waitstaff, to the serious and professional energy of the kitchen, the front
and back of the house form a desirable marriage. The entrance on 260 Hanover street has a full liquor license.

My family & I had my college graduation dinner here tonight. Whenever they visit me in Boston, we come here to eat — it’s been this way for 5 years & especially after tonight’s service, I don’t think that will ever change! My grandmother is a bit picky with her food and thought the salmon was a little undercooked, so the waiter kindly took it back to the kitchen. The manager brought out the recooked meal & my grandmother loved it. I’m also a waitress so I appreciated the patience of the wait staff, kitchen, and management 😊 The staff shared their congratulations & even brought out a surprise slice of cake to celebrate. Can’t wait to come back!

About the restaurant

The Union Oyster House, located on the Freedom Trail, near Faneuil Hall, enjoys the unique distinction of being America's oldest restaurant. This Boston fixture, housed in a building dating back to Pre-Revolutionary days, started serving food in 1826 and has continued ever since with the stalls and oyster bar, where Daniel Webster was a constant customer, in their original positions.

Located at 40 Brattle Street in Harvard Square, Alden & Harlow serves thoughtfully sourced, honest American food in a subterranean, modern and comfortable space. Replicating the style of cooking he does for family and friends in his home kitchen, Chef Michael Scelfo prepares humble, unpretentious food that honors tradition of place in its quality. It's how he connects with anyone who joins them at their table.
