"And two Massachusetts eateries in particular have earned that very honor: La Padrona and McGonagle's Pub. Both dining destinations can count themselves among the absolute best restaurants in Boston. La Padrona is a high-end Italian spot that opened in May of 2024 in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood; from James Beard award-winning chef Jody Adams, it sits in the Raffles Hotel where it has earned all manner of accolades."
"A prime-time table at La Padrona is one of the toughest reservations to get in Boston, but if you're willing to eat late, you can secure a spot. The space feels like you're attending the world's most elegant home dinner party, with modern yet comfy furnishings and warm lighting. For the menu, the team sources local ingredients to create New England-meets-Italy cuisine. Dishes include cacio e pepe foccaccia, grilled sweet farm peppers, charred arrowhead cabbage, seared scallops, sweet corn agnolotti, rabbit ragu fazzolett"
The New York Times' annual list of the 50 best restaurants in America includes two Massachusetts venues: La Padrona and McGonagle's Pub. La Padrona opened in May 2024 in Boston's Back Bay inside the Raffles Hotel and is led by James Beard award-winning chef Jody Adams. La Padrona offers regional Italian fare, notable design, and has earned local accolades including Boston Magazine's 2025 best Italian restaurant. McGonagle's Pub opened in December 2024 in Dorchester and presents a cozy, slightly upscale pub atmosphere with well-prepared comfort dishes and classic preparations. The list spans everything from hole-in-the-wall spots to fine dining.
