Table

The only option at Table in the North End is the incredible, no-substitutions $125 pre-fixe meal. And while it might sound like a nightmare to your picky friend who only eats buttered noodles, you’re never going to have a bad meal here. The menu changes regularly, but almost always starts with whole bulbs of roasted garlic and bread, some kind of stracciatella and vegetable dish, a pasta course, grilled fish and/or meat, and meatballs for the table. Some past plates we’ve loved have been grilled octopus with cannelloni beans and chicken milanese smothered in arugula, red onion, sunflower seeds, and shaved parmesan. The restaurant is just one cozy room with two communal tables, and it’s the perfect place to come hungry with at least three friends and have an evening.
