I think we have found our new favorite North End restaurant:
I should start by saying that it has been a while since we've dined in the North End, and that's mostly because it's a drive and not always easy to find parking, we're getting older (read: less patient), or we need a really special reason to spoil ourselves with a fine dining experience. 🤪 We decided to do a fun family outing despite the cold winter weather and I'm so glad we did!
Little Sage is on Hanover Street and is owned by renowned Italian chef, Tony Susi. It features handcrafted pastas, oven-roasted dishes, and has a cute little bar side separate from the main dining area.
🍴We started with their herbed flatbread which was so good on its own but when paired with the burrata, it was perfection! The burrata is plated with roasted delicata squash, a brown butter vinaigrette, pepitas, and arugula.
🍴Our teenager enjoyed the bucatini ala gricia with leoncini pancetta, black pepper, and pecorino pepato. A huge portion so we brought half home!
🍴The husband had the baked fazoletti pasta with short rib, spinach, fontina, and cherry tomatoes. It was nothing like he has eaten before and it was delicious!
🍴I really appreciated how our waiter, Michael, double checked my food allergies that are listed in my account before we ordered. I devoured the paccheri with roasted Joyberry Farm mushrooms, brussel sprouts, and black truffle butter. So, so goooood!
🍴And then to polish off such a yummy experience, we enjoyed a special serving of the olive oil cake which was served beautifully with mascarpone and amarena cherries. We were full by this time and yet somehow the cake disappeared! 🤣
So the next time you're in Boston's North End and you're looking for a great new place to try, check out Little Sage! I think you're gonna love it as much as we did!
