NORTH END. Come to this local favorite and feast on goodies such as risotto, gnocchi, homemade Abruzzi style spaghetti, wild mushroom ravioli, and other Italian specialties. The wine list is well-selected and holds a good number of white and red wines. The mustard colored walls, soft lighting and linen-covered tables make for an inviting interior. As the restaurant seats only 39 at a time, reservations are suggested.

FENWAY DISTRICT. Woody's serves as both an ideal lunch spot and a great nightlife option. This bar makes a mean thin-crust pizza that's cooked to perfection on a wood-fired oven. In fact, these pizzas have become legendary with local baseball regulars and symphony goers. Order toppings that run the gamut, from goat cheese to arugula and jerk chicken. Full bar provides a variety of options with approximately 18 beers on tap. The interior is pleasant, featuring yellow walls, blue accents, and lovely wood trim.

WEST METRO. A visit to IL Capriccio offers diners a pleasant excursion from downtown Boston to the suburb of Waltham. The Northern Italian cuisine is expertly prepared and presented. The menu is seasonal, but some terrific standbys remain, like the porcini souffle, gnocchi, ravioli and quail. The wine selection is well-selected and flawlessly served at the table. The interior of this establishment is plush and dimly lit, and the atmosphere is calming.

BACK BAY. This elegant French restaurant, set in a circa-1873 townhouse, promises ambience as classy as the food. That's saying a lot, considering that the menu offers poached dayboat halibut, sautéed medallions of organic Vermont veal, and grilled partridge. The dessert menu is full of sweet delicacies, including chocolate soufflé and toasted almond crème brûlée. A great choice for special occasions. NB They're open for afternoon tea on Saturdays.

DOWNTOWN. In a vague nod to its name, this contemporary French restaurant features a circular shape. Its air of sophistication is gracious rather than intimidating, thanks to a warm, welcoming staff. Main courses include well conceived numbers like pepper-crusted New Zealand venison chop, seared Chatham cod, and Scottish salmon with Yukon gold potatoes. A favorite dessert is tapioca parfait, but "hot apple soup" shouldn't be overlooked either.

CAMBRIDGE. The decor isn't the focus at this Harvard Square raw stop, but folks clamor for its fresh sushi, prepared to perfection and at very reasonable rates. Cafe Sushi has been part of the neighborhood scene since the early '80s, and their experience shines through in the terrific rolls. In fact, local rumor has it that the fresh mackerel can't be beat.
