You might think that an Italian restaurant in the North End would just blend into the neighborhood’s relatively one-note food scene, but that’s not at all the case with Table. The Hanover Street eatery truly stands out from the crowd, thanks to its unique, family-style dining experiences. Guests here all sit down together at communal tables and share a feast of Italian-American favorites—reminiscent of those marathon Sunday dinners at nonna’s house. All of the meals are prix fixe, taking you through seven courses of fantastic food, courtesy of chef-owner Jen Royle. Homestyle dishes, combined with a warm and friendly atmosphere, will make you feel like you're amongst newfound family and friends. We love the concept so much that we now serve their gelato at Time Out Market Boston.
Known for its Italian American population and what seems like unlimited places to eat, Boston’s North End is a foodie must. As the densest dining neighborhood in New England, the choices are basically limitless for whatever you’re craving—a piping hot cappuccino from Caffe Vittoria, melted mozzarella dripping off a slice of pizza, handmade gnocchi tossed or even fresh sushi.
