Benatti

Benatti brings upscale Italian food to an area known for Portuguese and Brazilian restaurants. Things could get ugly during soccer season, but it's worth it for perfect porcini risotto, tortelloni in a sauce of walnuts and heady aged balsamic from Modena, well-turned entrees, and desserts that are far better than anyone disillusioned by the average Italian-restaurant dolci has hope to expect. (Try the Negroni terrine.) This is the kind of food you think about long after it's gone. (Boston Globe)
