Opening soon!

Entrees here will cost between $12 and $26, and they have a Kid's Menu with items under $10. You can add fresh homemade pasta for $3 more. There's a lot of seafood available, and the Veal is a category on its own. Try the Al Dente Special, where they throw everything but the kitchen sink into it: veal, chicken, shrimp, broccoli, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, red and yellow peppers, all tossed together in a white wine garlic butter sauce for $18.95. The only negative is that they don't allow splitting of entrees.

Bacco, in Boston's North End, is a neighborhood restaurant as well as a dining hotspot for the rest of the city. Inside there are 2 floors of dining and bars, with windows opening onto the streets below. The menu is Northern Italian with Mediterranean influences and the wine list is extensive, and predominately Italian. There are usually great happy hour deals with half price appetizers.

A lively family-owned restaurant in the North End, L'Osteria serves Italian favorites cheaper than most of its neighbors, and indeed, the lower prices may be its only claim to fame. The unspectacular but varied fare features a wide selection of veal, chicken, and seafood. The juicy veal piemontese, stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella, is quite tasty, though the bowl of accompanying pasta bears close resemblance to dining hall options. Dessert ($6) options limited to tiramisu and amaretto cake. Entrees $13-$17. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.
