Which North End Restaurant To Chose???

Three teens and two adults looking for a place in the North End where we can park(preferably in the garage near Millenium Hotel) and enjoy a nice but not pricey italian dinner on a monday night. Just getting off a long flight and heading to the Cape after. Read one post that said La Summa does not allow jeans and we will definitely be in them. Already craving a cannoli at Mike%26#39;s Pastry so what is nearby??? thanks

Many of the restaurants have Valet parking. If you don%26#39;t mind paying for the priviledge, there shouldn%26#39;t be a problem. Or take the Blue Line Subway, which comes near the North End. Then you can head back to the Airport to pick up your car,

Hi,

LaSumma certainly does allow jeans. I wouldn%26#39;t show up there in gym shorts and flip flops (although they probably wouldn%26#39;t care), but it%26#39;s not fancy at all.

Another good option is Antico Forno, which is on Salem St., one block over from Hanover (where Mike%26#39;s is).

If you don%26#39;t mind a little walking, you could also go to Massimino%26#39;s Cucina Italiana , which I tried for the first time yesterday and I really enjoyed the meal very much. It%26#39;s a bit off the tourist path, so it%26#39;s not as crowded as other places. However, it%26#39;s in the North Station side of the North End, so maybe it%26#39;s a few blocks further walk than La Summa or Antico Forno.

There is parking in the garage next to the Aquarium - and a nice walk to the North End along the waterfront.

For dinner, I recommend Strega on Hanover Street. Excellent food and a fun atomsphere. I think the teenagers will like it. as well as the adults. http://www.stregaristorante.com

Mike%26#39;s Pastry is about a block away on the other side of the street.

BeantownMan--beat me to it! I was getting ready to write that you can wear jeans and go to La Summa. By all means, give La Summa a try--I look forward to going back there!

Many great choices in the North End, but for canoli you must go to Modern Pastry. Can%26#39;t remember the name, but I ate at a good restaurant right across the street fro Modern that was casual.

Another vote for La Summa.

Sounds like I may have to try La Summa this time around and will definitely check out the others on another visit.

Thanks
