We leave Boston's famous North End for a moment to hit up the city's South End, a neighborhood that may not possess the name recognition when it comes to essential Italian food, yet possesses some of the best regional cuisine in the city. One such place is Anchovies on Columbus Street, in between Braddock Park and Holyoke Street near Prudential Station. One immediately unique aspect of Anchovies is that this is essentially a dive bar, yet the kitchen here is cranking out some truly memorable and delicious Italian cuisine, from its specialty lasagna to lobster stuffed cannelloni and a savory pesto sauce to die for.

Heading back to the North End for our final spot, Hanover Street boasts one of the city's best Italian joints when it comes to primo, prime fare lasagna, namely Panza Restaurant. The 'free form' lasagna includes "black pepper pasta sheets, chicken, mushrooms, spinach and a plum tomato ricotta sauce." Add to this Panza's affordable prices and friendly service, and you have one seriously recommended Italian eatery here in the city of Boston.
