looking for Boston dinner recommendations

Anonymous
Looking for some great places that would take reservations but not super fancy (probably about 6 people total). I'll be traveling to Boston several times in the next couple months and will have a nephew at Boston College. Any type of good food is fine but first preference would be Italian or steak (with a seafood option).

The college students like Earls.
It’s not fancy but always delivers and PSA… technically a chain and I know people hate that.

North end has great Italian, would u wanna do Italian?

Do you want something closer to BC which is in the burbs of Boston?

Barcelona wine bar is a little closer and easy parking.

I have at least 4 trips planned. Nephew appreciates good food and I think will want to meet for at least one meal each time I visit. Definitely Italian but looking for recommendations. I think Northend would be a good 30 minute uber ride, so probably should look for a couple places closer too if possible.

It might be fun to try a spot in different location.

Earls at the prudential center then you could walk Newbury street.

Barcelona is Brookline has cute shops

Tatte for the win for breakfast btw.

I’ll try to think of a place closer to BC and maybe one in Cambridge.

Faneuil hall if you want a good food hall with great seafood, Pizzeria Regina

Porto in the Prudential Center or Lolita on Newbury St (both are a hike from BC though)

Barcelona is good too and the Brookline one isn’t far from campus.

You can eat at all of these places in DC (although maybe OP’s nephew isn’t from the DC area).

I don’t know Boston (am on here to pick up recs myself!), but I’d want places without DC locations.

No duh! I literally said that in my post.

Of course I’ve never been to those places in Dc and after going in Boston (because it’s where college kids like to go and it’s where they asked to go) I then realized we had those in DC too.

Still haven’t been to DC locations.

P.s. I would not recommend the same restaurants for you as I would a college student in the suburbs of Boston.

You should try Bricco or Black Sheep… but the later might not be fancy enough for you
