Mama Maria
Nationally acclaimed regional Italian Cuisine served in a 19th Century 3-story brownstone, Mamma Maria’s overlooks America’s oldest public square in the heart of Boston’s historic North End. The New York Times raves: “Boston’s North End is filled with Italian Restaurants, but this one is different from the rest – not only for its location inside an old brownstone, but also its rustic Tuscan food.” It evokes a cross between an Italian villa and a stately Boston mansion, with romantic tables arranged in rooms decorated with Renaissance-style paintings. The menu features 120 Italian and American wines and countryside fare such as pappardelle pasta with roasted rabbit and rosemary, osso buco with saffron risotto and oxtail ravioli.

Union Oyster House
If you’d like to dine where Daniel Webster drank his tumbler of brandy and water, or where JFK enjoyed meals in his favorite booth a century later, then you shouldn’t miss the Union Oyster House. One of the city’s famous landmarks and America’s oldest restaurants, the Oyster House boasts an amazing history dating back to 1826. The food is tasty, traditional New England far, popular with visitors walking on the adjacent Freedom Trail and savvy locals. Try oyster stew or the cold seafood sampler of oysters, clams, and shrimp to start. Follow with a broiled or grilled dish such as scrod or salmon, or perhaps friend seafood or grilled pork loin. A “shore dinner” of chowder, steamers or mussels, lobster, corn potatoes and dessert is an excellent
introduction to local favorites. Notice the plaque marking John F. Kennedy’s favorite booth (no. 18) where he often sat to read the Sunday papers.
