Thrilled to be included on the list from our friends at Table Magazine.
Italian families, look away.
TABLE Director of Operations, Star Laliberte, never thought she’d be the person recommending Italian restaurants. When you grow up convinced your family makes the best sauce, pasta, and Sunday meals on earth, eating Italian out feels… mildly traitorous.
But every once in a while, a place earns a seat at the table.
These Italian restaurants aren’t trying to recreate Nonna’s kitchen—they’re offering something different: regional traditions, fresh perspectives, and house-made pasta worth leaving home for.
(Please don’t tell her relatives she said that.) 😉
