Last Friday Sergio and I were invited to The Taste of the North End; Boston’s Italian neighborhood. Proceeds from the event benefited North End Waterfront Health, where my good friend Vincenzo Scibelli works. Below is a picture of Vincenzo and his colleague, Noreen Manning.
Billy Costa was on hand (as usual) as Master of Ceremonies and he did a nice job kicking off the event, but it was Boston Bruins hockey player, Andrew Ference, who came to the event with his daughter who got most of the attention. One part handsome and one part good sport this Boston Bruin was nice enough to pose with Sergio for a photo.
With so many great restaurants to pick from it was tough to identify a personal favorite, but I have listed my top three plates. First was Aragosta which served a pasta in a veal, pork and beef sauce that was covered in a blanket of cheese; Second was Mamma Maria’s braised rabbit with polenta; And third was Carmelina’s meatballs – MMM…

What about Tresca Restaurant? They were voted best bite for their ricotta gnocchi.

I just had to make it to this post right when my tummy informed me it’s lunch time… must be fate. I don’t know much of Boston, but if it produces people like yourself and my old, beloved buddy Ruthie (a true, to-the-bone Southie) Giannasoli, then it has to have something good to it. Hate to admit it, but if there’s a state west of the Ol’ Miss’ I’ve been there. East of the line? Not so much. Must remedy that someday…
