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.

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.

We had a very nice time. We both enjoyed our meal and thought it was well prepared. We both had fish. I had the Swordfish and she had Haddock. The doors were open so there was a feeling of being outside. Over all we were both happy we decided to go there.

We enjoyed the calamari for an appetizer. I had the Halibut with truffle sauce, amazing! My colleague had the 6 oz fillet with truffle butter and whipped potatoes. Very good!

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.

We were headed home to LA from a long weekend in Rhode Island and wanted a great lunch experience to send us home. We could not have chosen better. A lovely place, a great waiter to guide us through the menu and we pretty much had to tear ourselves away to get to Logan. Wonderful, fresh seafood (and other options) , great cocktails and a short wine list that hit every note for us. Definitely on the "we'll be back" list

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.
