Italians in Boston???
 
Where do local Italians eat in Boston and Bar Harbor???

Probably lobster in Bar Harbor, and Thai or Chinese food in Boston

Wha? American-Italians? Southern Italians? Northern Italians? You mean descendants of Italian immigrants? More specifics would be helpful.

I would imagine the North End of boston since that is the equivalent of "little italy". Authentic, fantastic italian food.

I'm Italian and live in Boston. I eat not only Italian, Japaneese, Chineese, Afganistan, Mexican, French, American Bistro, Jewish Deli, Syrian, Indian, Ethiiopian, I live in a multi ethnic area and we enjoy each others food.

Another Boston Italian here.

When we want to eat good Italian food, we either just stay home, or go to mom's!

regynacarbone: The "North End" of Boston is famous for "Italian" food and desserts. Definately visit there!!

Wow, good for you!!! How many true Italians are of the all inclusive variety...... of american/italian, southern and northern all mixed up into one person searching for food. Cheers to all those all inclusive italians out there! The northend is wonderful and blows little italy in nyc away as far as food goes. walk the streets and go for your all inclusive gut instinct!

If you're seeking Italian food, then a walk down Hanover St. (main drag in Boston's Northend) will offer up many restaurant options. I was up in the area recently and altho we didn't eat dinner there, we did stroll over to the area for dessert. Enjoyed gelato & pastries at "Vittoria's Cafe" on Hanover St., which is 2 storefronts away from another well-known spot, "Mike's Pastries" .... of course, after we finished up at Vittoria's, we bought take-away from Mike's. Mmmmmmmm, tasty cannolli's !

Now that construction in Boston is finished and they've taken down the old highway, it's sooooo much nicer to stroll over to the North End. I can't believe how much different it looks now that the old ugly green elevated highway is gone!
