Cheap and delicious pizza, with a thin and crispy crust and a sauce that's slightly sweet. The slices are enormous (the equivalent of at least two average slices or 1/4 pie), so don't order a second one until you've finished the first (which had probably gotten cold by then anyway). Tons of different toppings, and unique choices such as Shrimp Scampi. People who don't like the tourist traps are drawn to 'mom and pop'-style places such as this. Most slices are under $3, so what's not to love? Bonus: beer and wine served. Every night: Get a 2.00 14 oz. Draft with Any Pizza Slice!

Wonderful pizza, casual atmosphere, friendly staff Best of Boston 2006 A Phantom Gourmet "Hidden Jewel"

Frank sometimes shows up, but this place is mainly run by his son John. Great fish market, some of the local restaurants purchase this fish.

Cute little North End market and bodega offering everything from grocery items, deli meats and cheeses, prepared foods, smoothies, and salads. A neighborhood jewel, but do not expect them to have alot of options: space is small. Amidst all of the restaurants, you'd think that the grocery selection for residents of the North End would be more plentiful. With this in mind, Going Bananas is exactly what's needed when the gourmet chops are closed or simply don't have what you need. This is a small grocery store that sells many different cheeses, herbs and product of good quality, if just a little pricey. The smoothies are a recent addition, and the sandwiches are first rate. The guy making the sandwiches is a perfectionist, and the prosciutto & mozzarella is one of the best in town.

This place has absolutely pristine oysters that you order individually off of something similar to a sushi menu. Kumamoto, Wellfleet, Bee's River...so many varieties of oyster to choose from, not to mention clams, crab claws and shrimp. Their lobster roll (the hot one, not the one with mayo which is served cold) is overflowing with the meat of 2 chick lobsters and drizzled with butter on brioche, served with Belgian twice-fried fries. Somewhat non-traditional but extremely delicious. The clam chowder is first rate, and every bowl is cooked to order. This North End hotspot has a great selection of champagnes and wines by the bottle and glass.

In the space of the old La Brace comes Paesan's, a local pizzeria and restaurant owned by a local North Ender. The current place has flat screen tv's at every table and touts itself as a great place to watcht the Red Sox or Celtics. Has full bar as well.

Mix an eclectic taste in music, a choice location in the North End, a fun, young clientele, and an authentic Italian menu and staff, and—voila! Rabia's. Nestled on a cozy street, Rabia's is a simple yet tasty choice for Italian and Mediterranean dining. The glass vineyard ceiling, complete with illuminated crystal grapes, and a large window front that opens during the warmer months, give the classy interior a romantic touch without overdoing it. Thankfully, the prices won't cause your wallet to feel outdone either. Traditional pastas average $13, and more elaborate meals run $16-27, including the seafood dishes, such as lobster ravioli ($19) and shrimp and clams linguini ($18). A small selection of desserts helps redefine paradise, offering a truly phenomenal tiramasu ($8). Show up early to avoid long waits on weekend nights; couples stand a better chance at getting a table first than large groups, even if you have reservations.

Budget-minded diners can cut back on their bill by skipping a second appetizer and indulging in complimentary bread, olive oil and imported olives.
