Carlo's Cucina Italiana

This Allston trattoria pleases guests with their made from scratch pastas and other Southern Italian homemade goodies. Try the savory chicken marsala or the veal alla saltimboca (veal layered with proscuitto and fontina cheese and covered with a cream sauce). If you're looking for ambiance and a snazzy decor, you might want to bypass Carlo's because here it's all about the food, which they do quite well! This spot is very popular, so be prepared to wait.
