Why You Should Go: Leonardo da Vinci famously said "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” and nowhere is this more true than in the artistically delicious dishes at Savino’s Grill in Belmont. Come and sample the contemporary Italian and Mediterranean culinary craftsmanship of Tom Cutrone in Cushing Square.

What You Should Taste: Spoil your taste buds with starters like Steamed Mussels or Italian Charcuterie, sided by the Baby Spinach Salad with Grilled Hangar Steak or Red and White Romaine. For mains, we love the perfectly Roasted Half Chicken, Pistachio Crusted Tilapia, and the Spinach Pappardelle.

What You Should Know: Chef Tom Cutrone opened this popular Belmont eatery after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, and some stints on Boston-area hot spots like Le Bocage, Tuscan Grill, and L’Espalier. With a rotating seasonal menu of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and weekly specials like Monday Past Night, Mid-Week Bites and Flights, and Sundown Bar Specials, you’ll find that Savino’s is simply delicious.
