...Picchi now rules all four corners of the Sant' Ambrogio quarter: his Teatro del Sale, housed in part of a former 14th century convent, is his latest stage set. The justly celebrated (and very pricey) Il Cibrèo came first in 1979, followed quickly by the more affordable Trattoria Cibreo, then the Cibrèo Caffè across the street. At the convivial Teatro del Sale, a membership fee of $7 opens the door to a buffet of creative yet nostalgic cuisine (prix fixe $32), with a theatrical revue or concert after dinner.

The routine repeated itself until Eric pulled up at a trattoria moments before closing...
...North End is not the only answer for those seeking an authentic Italian dinner. Trattoria Pulcinella, a mere 10 minute walk up Concord Street at the intersection of Huron Avenue, is a jewel in Boston's somewhat chintzy crown of Italian restaurants. Aside from its pleasant atmosphere and consistently excellent food, Trattoria Pulcinella boasts the additional advantage of proximity. The restaurant's warm, rustic interior is cozy on slower nights but can become cramped as the oilcloth-topped tables are filled with people. Ochre colored sponge-painted walls lend warmth to the room, and empty Chianti bottles swing demurely from...
