Rocca Boston

The place will Rocca your world, from the stunning U-shaped bar to the second floor’s lovely, warm-hued dining room. Go for the whole-roasted fish or buridda, a fish stew served with toasted ciabatta. Dive into plates of achingly fresh pasta like the corzetti layered with red wine-braised rabbit or capellini piled high with tiny clams.

Temple Bar Boston

Temple Bar features a warm atmosphere thanks to some soft lighting, exposed brick, and oak paneling. The food features typical bistro dishes with lots of New England seafood, high-brow pizzas, and hearty meat dishes.

33 Restaurant & Lounge Boston

Complete with a decked-out lounge including an LED-lit bar and plasma playing modernist videos, 33 is a dramatic place with an equally daring dinner menu (soft-shell crab tempura, butter-roasted Maine lobster, and truffled mac ’n’ cheese) plus a bar menu for late-night snacking.

Alchemist Boston

Under lights salvaged from an old church, barkeeps shake up martinis with fresh-squeezed juices. Diners savor comfort food like calamari with crumbly feta and peppers and Guinness-and-ice cream floats.
