Hands down, one of the best Italian restaurants you will experience. Don't come for fine dining, but do come for some incredible Italian comfort food made with love by the dedicated owners, Jeff and Ida. In Jeff's words, they have neither a freezer or microwave and commit to making the freshest most flavorful food they can. Always spring for the $2 upcharge to get the fresh pasta. A bit lacking on atmosphere and feels a bit like an elevated pizza and sub shop, but does offer table service, beer and wine. Expect long waits on weekends, but don't let that dissuade you. Put your name on the wait list and get a drink nearby and they'll text you when the table is ready.

Excellent fully stocked liquor store. Here in Massachusetts, very few grocery stores and pharmacies are allowed to sell liquor, meaning you'll need to go to a package store to stock up.

It is walking distance, but has easy free parking too. Open Monday-Friday 10am to 11pm, Saturday from 9am-11pm, and Sunday from noon-11pm. Highly recommend.
