Row 34 was really good. Hit up Abita on the travel board. He will steer you right.

Do not have names but Newburry Street is a great place to eat and walk around. I have had the best Indian meal of my life there.

I like the Daily Catch for Italian/Seafood.

There's one on Hanover in the North End, but the one in Brookline has a much better parking situation. Food is pretty equal in both locations. Hanover street is much cooler to walk around and people watch though and closer to the arena/downtown.

I haven't been to the Waterfront location.

Depends on the type of food, area of town, price point, etc.

Top of mind?

Yvonne’s
Mamma Maria
Giacomo’s
Row 34
Krasi
Uni

Edit: reading through the suggestions already given and it is mostly horrible advice.

I'll add Pauli's (right next door to Neptune) to the list. They don't have the seafood selection that Neptune provides but, they offer two variations (classic cold or hot buttered) of lobster rolls that are stuffed full of meat.

Trying to remember the Italian place on the North End (because there's a million) but it's escaping me. I just remember a little nonna who spoke very little English and had even less patience with my wife.

When you put your name down at Neptune’s there is an Italian place just to the left next door (at least a couple of years ago). We had wine there while we waited and ended up going back for lunch a day later. It was damn good in its own right.

There is Toro a couple of blocks from Flour in South End on Washington. It is really good and have the razor clams if they have them. Toro in New York wasn’t nearly as good.

Kelly's roast beef sandwich (strong preference to the Revere Beach location).
D'Angelo lobster roll.
Harpoon Brewing pretzel.


I'm a man of the people & my offerings reflect as much.

Dolce Vita Ristorante (Italian)

We went here around cinco de mayo. The owner serenaded the dining room later in the night with the staff playing instruments and back up. It was awesome. I got the swordfish. There was a bigger variety of things on the menu than a typical Italian place. Atmosphere was great.
