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.

I saw the good reviews on Google and decided to give it a try. The restaurant did not disappoint. I had the Chilean Sea Bass, and my friend had the Chicken Parmesan. Both were excellent. We had a pleasant meal and were well attended to. I would certainly go back again.

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.

Went out on a business dinner and everyone loved it. Manager Lynn played host, and gave personal attention to our group. Matt our server was excellent. Great vibe on the rooftop, and inside dining room was also lively with a great atmosphere. We hade the seafood tower and I hade the Filet which was cooked perfectly. Top notch place.

Overall, a great experience. Food was outstanding; the lobster with ravioli (a special) was brimming with local lobster and a healthy sized portion). The server, Alfredo, was charming, knowledgeable and responsive. My one suggestion: the staff bringing out the food should know which guest gets which entree/appetizer vs “who gets the….” A bit amateurish.

New Bedford

About the restaurant

Serves fresh, bold and innovative food that reflects the history of New Bedford and celebrates the New Bedford fishermen, their catch and their culture.

Menu focuses on local fishermen’s catch of the day, old school seafood favorites and a sprinkling of modern seafood interpretations. Menu ranges from raw bar, to warm and cold lobster rolls, baked cod, bacon wrapped scallops, bouillabaisse and grilled NY Strip.

Large bar and spectacular views of the artful New Bedford Fishing Fleet. Large covered outside deck overlooking the fishing boats and harbor. Centrally located beside the Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Ferries. Large parking lot.

And, of course, the hospitality is second to none. Service is what built the business.

About the restaurant

Located on the third floor of Eataly Boston, Terra is a unique restaurant inspired by earth and fire. The dining room centers around a wood-burning Italian grill, where the Terra culinary team cooks raw ingredients over burning flames, allowing the simple flavors to shine.

In every earthy dish, the fire’s smoked warmth rekindles our fundamental connection to the elements. Plentiful and playful, the grilled plates are perfect to share around the restaurant's rustic tables, especially when paired with seasonal drinks.
