A Mediterranean Cafe serving up Italian-American cuisine. The menu features a Kobe beef burger (a reasonable $12), traditional pizzas, lobster ravioli, autumn risotto, and a variety of entrees. The atmosphere is modern, sleek, and uppity with silver/white walls and sleek metal accents. The seats are a modernized cork- so that's what they do with the discarded wine corks!. The double sided mirror hides the enormous flat screen when it's not running the latest game. This is a great new restaurant sure to have crowds gather. If you don't like the food, stick to the great bar drinks (Champagne, favorite fruit, favorite new cocktail- $10). A new favorite all around in the Back Bay...

Fresh ingredients and a creative menu. Although sometimes hard to find on posh Newbury Street, Croma's prices are reasonable and rarely exceed $16 for an entree. Great place for a date night or dinner out with a friend.

Italian restaurant on Boylston. Vinny T's offers typical Italian fare includes pastas, pizzas, and Italian style entrees. Although good, Vinny T's isn't a front runner for a "place to go" for Italian (but who can blame it, it's competing with the North End). A great place for large parties(or friends) and consistent service, but by-pass it for dates or when you're trying to impress someone.

Open until 2, Despinas is one of the few places that stays open for the bar goer's late night snacks. Franko, a loyal employee for years, will serve you up a slice of Greek style pizza ($1.50)at this late-night pizza joint. There is always a game on the tv (and they serve beers just in case you want a topper) Try the chicken wings, fried crisp. They also have your typical casual food (mozz sticks, sub sandwhiches, pasta, and awesomely huge calzones). Don't go for 5-Star cuisine, go for good ol' grub food.

Your basic neighborhood pizza joint.

This restaurant is inside the Prudential center. The focus is pizza and light Italian. Good restaurant for the family. Most children are far less adventurous than their adult counterparts. Luckily, CPK has a children's menu. For $4.99, kids 10 and under have a choice of pizza, pasta, or curly mac 'n cheese. Meals come with a drink; dessert can be added for an extra 50 cents.

You don't go here for the decor or the service. You go for the best pizza anywhere -- but only the original is in the North End.

Near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Newbury Street Pizza Pie-er is a small establishment with an interesting menu. They've expanded the traditional pizza to have an array of crusts (4), sauces (10), and toppings (34). The crusts and sauces are the largest differentiators that you don't see at other establishments, and it's refreshing to see a focus on healthier fare as well (this includes items such as whole wheat or multigrain crusts). Plenty of veggie and meat options to please anyone in your crowd, The staff is friendly, the tabletops resemble pizzas with lots of toppings, and the ambience is much more pleasant than you would assume from the location and the facade. When the other pizza options nearby can be greasy and college-infested, Pizza Pie-er makes for a cleaner, tastier option. Or dozens of options! Good for a quick bite on your way to the Berklee Performance Center, shopping on Newbury Street, or on your way down to the The Esplanade Extra perk? Not just a lunch or dinner sit-down spot. Late night delivery is available til 1230 during the week and 1:30 Friday and Saturday, and late night takeout til 1 am during the week and 2 am on Friday and Saturday!
