I was told there was a great and inexpensive Italian place essentially behind Sagra but on Elm Street. I like Sagra (not great Italian food but a fun bar for an early date) but I recently heard about this other restaurant and can't remember the name. Does anyone know of this restaurant? Thanks!

This place looks amazing!
I'm planning a trip there right now.
You're post has made me very happy :)

Thank you for the recommendation!

We did end up going this past weekend and it was great. The food was fantastic, and the service was very pleasant (and authentic). Everyone was happy with the new place. It was exactly what I was looking for and thank you again.

Slim pickings seems about right; maybe we'll give Vinalia a try...
Thanks for the info!

I'm trying to plan a dinner around going to Les Zygomates afterwards...does anyone have any recommendations for a comfortable (relaxing?) meal near Les Zygomates that's not Chinese food? Thanks for the help!

We went to the Grotto and it was fantastic!

Thank you so much for the recommendation. It was perfect and a great first experience with Chowhound!

We're looking to expand our experience in the North End and are searching for some recommendations of the best places that aren't extremely expensive (<= $30 for an entree).

We have friends that visit and really enjoy Dom's (which I've seen some pretty unhappy reviews for). We usually go there and have a great meal but we're looking for something different this time; a fun place for a group of 6-8 people. If you have a recommendation for a fun/goof place outside of the North End I'd like to hear that too!

Thanks for any help!

Nevermind! I just found it. Thanks!

I can't seem to find this deal...Is it a special offer for the restaurant that you were looking at or is it a deal from Open Table that can be applied to all restaurants?

I was thinking some romantic Italian would be nice...

that sounds perfect; I'm going to give it a try.
Thank you!

great idea, thanks!

Does anyone know of a romantic place in/near Boston where they might be able to have flowers waiting at a table upon request? I'm hoping that maybe someone has done this before with good results...
