Reliable service, serving up your typical greek pizza, piping hot. Unusual toppings: linguica, eggplant, jalapeno, meatball. Giant calzone so big they call it The King ($12.10). Subs, sandwiches, spaghetti, salads and appetizers.

This place doesn't look inviting from the outside (small windows), but inside it is a bright family restaurant. One of the best non-dive spots to watch the Sox.

Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays: 2 meals for $16 (with more than 5 options to choose from, a salad, and bread).

Wednesdays: $4 pizza night (any large pizza for $4!)

A nice little place reminiscent of the North End, where you can dress up a little and get together with family and friends for good food and coffee. Proprietors Tony and Donna Oliviero will make sure that everyone feels welcome, and the atmosphere is very warm and casual. The front seating section is very nice with the open kitchen. Lots of politicians and well known people in the Italian American community come to dine there. John, the daytime espresso guy, makes a killer foamy brew. The lounge is a great place for an after-dinner drink. On a nice evening, top it all off with a leisurely stroll to Piers Park on Marginal Street. The views of Boston from there are truly magical. TIP: Thursdays and Fridays feature live entertainment.
