Well, I just found out that my dad is sending me to Boston for a while.
Don't know if I'm going to be there a week or whether longer.
Now, I am open to suggestions for really great Italian restaurants.
I'll be leaving next Monday.

That's just a screenshot I took of the Yahoo Images search results for "Italian food". So each pic is from a different unknown source. That is, unless I had clicked on any of them prior and went to the source website.
That particular one and a few other Banquet TV dinners, including the Salisbury Steak, IMO, are actually pretty good (for the money and minor effort). In fact I had the Chicken Parm w/ Ziti a few hours before posting that image. What I do is make a small hero sandwich with the meat to go along with the side dishes. They make a great inexpensive, convenient late-night snack. Especially when you get them on sale for a buck!
Then there’s a deli, I think, on Harrison. Near a weird bas relief sun on a brick wall (if its still there). Can’t remember the name.
Great slices of pizza.
But Bovas — canolis and cookies to die for! Your sweet tooth will be appeased!!
Yes. But I wasn’t recollecting *that* Joe Tecce’s; was thinking about the old one, down a dark ally; in the ‘60’s’
If you were savvy of their ways....you could order *Joe’s Coffee* and a coke bottle covered with aluminum foil would come to the table, containing cheap Chianti. [no liquor license]:) ...that Joe Tecce’s:)
Italian North end near the Old North Church. Take your pick, they’re all amazing.
** Raymond Patriarca Sr. who ran New England’s largest crime “family” from his Federal Hill neighborhood in Providence. He named Gennaro “Jerry” Angiulo to run the Boston rackets from his North End office at 98 Prince Street. It was in this office that the FBI, in January 1981, planted electronic surveillance equipment. The evidence gathered from these surveillance activities ultimately led to Angiulo’s arrest and conviction in 1986, along with two of his brothers, under Federal racketeering charges.**
Interesting! I remember the wine in Coke bottles but not that it was in a different location.
Joseph Tecce, who died at 94 in 2006, had simple beginnings with a fruit stand at Salem and Cross streets in the 1940s.
He later opened Bella Napoli, a Salem Street pizzeria. After a fire destroyed the shop, he launched The Fabulous Joe Tecce’s Restaurant at Salem and Cross streets.
In 1966, the restaurant moved to North Washington Street, where it cultivated a following among boldfaced names like Tip O’Neill, Michael Dukakis, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Al Pacino, Nat King Cole, Bobby Orr, and Larry Bird.
