July 22, 2013 Strega Waterfront

Date night! We headed over to Strega Waterfront – my co-workers RAVE about it. We had been to Strega in the North End, and didn’t love it, but hey, they deserve a second shot. We arrive down in Fort Point and are greeting by a guy who looks a little like Paulie from the Sopranos. […]

July 15, 2013 Nebo

Nebo opened on June 20th of this year just next door to Trade. The restaurant, owned by the Pallotta sisters, Carla and Christine, was originally located in the North End before moving to the Financial District. The decor is industrial and modern, love the feel. The one downside to the open ceilings is that it can […]

July 11, 2013 San Diego

It was raining like crazy when we were supposed to take off to go to San Diego. The traffic was a nightmare – you would think that New Englanders would be used to this weather, but never fail – when it rains, people drive like idiots. The crew was stuck in traffic, coming from Quincy. […]

June 27, 2013 Cinquecentro

Cinquecentro took over the old space that Rocca once occupied. Located in the South End, at 500 Harrison Street, Cinquecentro translates into 500 in Italian. Here’s why this is one of the best spots in the South End, it has a huge free parking lot next door. Everything here is bold and makes a statement, […]

September 17, 2012 June in New York

Back in June, I went to NY for a business pitch. We went on a Thursday, with the pitch on Friday morning. Since we were both already there, my husband and I decided to stay for the weekend. We stayed at the Hudson Hotel for business so we just decided to stay there for the […]

May 17, 2011 Prezza

We had been to Prezza before (see post) and decided to go back for another try since we were going to be in the North End anyway. I apologize for the grainy photos, but it was pretty dark. I ordered the same appetizer as last time-the crispy shrimp ($16). Four enormous shrimps that looked more […]

March 9, 2011 Bricco

Located on Hanover Street in the North End, I was looking forward to making a second trip to Bricco, this time, for restaurant week. In general I think people love or hate restaurant week. The premise is that for $30 you can get a 3 course dinner or lunch for $20. It used to be […]

January 25, 2011 Altra Strada in the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Casino

We like to go to Foxwoods to meet up with friend’s of ours who live in CT. Usually, we end up at David Burke’s on Sunday for brunch. Brunch runs from 11am-3:30pm and you order off the menu. (see website for more information http://www.davidburkeprime.com/menu.html). This last time, we changed it up and went to Alta […]

November 22, 2010 Basta Pasta

We went here on a Friday night-trying to use a buywithme coupon. Unfortunately, so was half of Cambridge. Something should have tipped me off when I called to place my take out order and got a busy signal for about 10 minutes…and when I finally got through I was told it was going to be […]

Alma is his mother’s name, the logo is her signature, and nove is for her nine children (nove is the Italian word for nine). Alma […]
