Restaurant Review: LoConte's in Boston, MA

Today I had the pleasure of visiting LoConte's Italian Restaurant in Boston's North End!

For a Saturday afternoon, LoConte's was surprisingly empty, likely due to the snow (darn you Boston!) My friend and I were seated at a four-top table in a windowed nook. Bread arrived at our table quickly, with olive oil, butter, and parmesan/herb combo. Delicious! Our garlic bread appetizer was reminiscent of the one I make at home, with olive oil, parsley, and parmesan.

My generous Chicken Cacciatore entrée was accompanied by a choice of pasta, which, while good, paled in comparison to the main dish.

The Cacciatore was hearty, with a zesty, chunky sauce of fresh veggies.

Elise ordered the Chicken Marsala, which was smothered with mushrooms and a sweet Marsala wine sauce.

The service at LoConte's was warm and attentive. The pricing was also reasonable: my entree was $21 and could have fed three people! If you’re looking for a new place to try in the North End, check out LoConte's.
