Al Dente, Boston: Find Authentic Italian in the North End

July 31, 2015July 23, 2014 by LustForTheWorld

Boston’s North End has some of the best Italian cuisine outside of Italy. Visit Al Dente and order the Shrimp and Calamari Fra Diavalo and you won’t be disappointed; Large shrimp and calamari, sauteed in olive oil, served in a spicy marinara sauce, white wine and served over homemade linguine. These are the best noodles I have ever eaten in my life, and I spent two weeks in Italy.

Al Dente is a small and cozy restaurant with low lighting, which creates a romantic ambiance: perfect for date night, but horrible for food photography (as you can see in my picture above). The wait staff is pleasant, attentive and happy to make recommendations. This was my first North End experience and I will definitely be back!

Al Tranvai Florence: Enjoy A Meal With Us

July 31, 2015March 12, 2014 by LustForTheWorld

When you’re visiting Florence, skip the expensive tourist trap restaurants and head to Al Tranvai to find well priced local Tuscan cuisine.

The neighborhood is a breath of fresh air compared to the more touristy spots of the city. At Al Tranvai, there are no menus. Instead, there is a list of selections to choose from on a chalkboard by the front door. A lot of the food choices are local Florentine fare (the waitress will be happy to explain if you have questions). The restaurant is a small, cozy building with a rustic feel. It’s usually filled with Italian locals, which is a sign that the food is excellent!

Make sure to try the Tiramisu and the house wine!
