Best Restaurant for Pasta in Every State

Popular Boston chef Lydia Shire’s culinary hotspot combines Italian cuisine with global flavors in a spacious, modern interior. House-made ravioli and cavatelli and spaghetti with a choice of seven different sauces are among the pasta offerings, and the lobster pizza is a customer favorite.

This chic restaurant offers contemporary Italian dishes inspired by the cuisine of Rome, as well as outstanding wine and cocktails. The chef’s tasting menu is optional but highly recommended, although you can’t go wrong with the paccheri arrabbiata with lamb neck ragù or the ziti alla Norma with roasted eggplant and ricotta.

Enjoy pizza and cocktails at Giulia’s chic modern bar, or grab a table and experience a fresh, tableside pulled mozzarella and a hearty pasta dish. Guests love the cacio e pepe, the ricotta meatballs, and the panna cotta.

Excellence abounds at Tarasque. Whether it’s the customer service, the prices, or the comforting old world cuisine, this local favorite delivers. Fresh, locally sourced Southern ingredients like peanuts and butter beans enliven dishes and elevate the flavors of classic pasta sauces like puttanesca and bolognese.

Southern Italian family traditions permeate the atmosphere and cuisine at this restaurant in the Ritz Carlton. Try the burrata caprese or the beef carpaccio then dive into a housemade tagliatelle, Sicilian rigatoni, or grandma’s ziti with Amalfi coast anchovies.
