Pagliuca's - Boston, MA

Pagliuca's Restaurant is another one of the very small Italian restaurants that calls the North End home. Pagliuca's serves traditional Italian cuisine: standard home-style fare with several antipasto choices and many pasta selections. The menu also features some quality seafood or chicken entrees.

This tiny North End eatery strives for simplicity with its low-key approach to decor and focused approach to cooking. The menu changes fairly often, but you can expect simple Italian food like chicken escarole soup, veal cacciatore and an appetizer of roasted sweet peppers.

Pagliuca's does take reservations for parties of four or more; grab a few friends and call ahead to avoid waiting in line. (from http://www.pagliucasrestaurant.com)
