Quincy Market is a big food court at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace. In this building you will find one food stall next to the other offering Italian, Indian, Mexican, Asian, American, healthy food, seafood (clam chowder), pastries and desserts for a decent price. In the centre of the building under the beautiful cupola there is an area to sit down and eat your take-away food. It's a great place for a quick lunch.

Restaurant Name: Daily Catch

The Daily Catch is a small family owned italian restaurant. They serve fresh seafood prepared in authentic Sicilian style. The kitchen with only one cook takes up a corner of the place. You have to choose your meal from a blackboard on the wall. The meal is served in the pan it was cooked in, and wine must be drunk out of a plastic cup but this won't spoil the delicious food and great atmosphere.

As the restaurant is very popular and only has about 16 seats, be prepared to line up outside.

Payment: cash only

Favorite Dish: I liked the homemade black pasta (with squid ink) putanesca (olives, anchovy puree, sauteed with mushrooms, pepper and red onions).

Restaurant Name: Caffé Vittoria

Caffé Vittoria is situated in the heart of North End. Established in 1929, it was the first Italian coffeeshop in Boston. It still has a great old-fashioned and romantic feel. The charming old building has four levels of seating with golden pillars, metal ceilings and antique espresso makers on display.

It's the perfect place for coffee and desert after lunch or dinner in a North End Italian restaurant.

Favorite Dish: Try the cannolli (Sicilian pastrie), it's yummy.
