"Standard Italian opened its doors just shy of a year ago as the third Fenway restaurant by the long-loved Eastern Standard team. Though Boston has no shortage of Italian spots, the house-made breads and pastas and the many stuzzichini and antipasti offerings at the elevated bistro quickly won the neighborhood over. The grilled mortadella skewer ($7) is a delectable bite that works well as one of several appetizers for dinner or a post-martini snack."
"The porchetta ($36) has graced the menu since the restaurant opened, and probably always will. The tender roasted pork loin and belly are served over fingerling potatoes with a drizzle of pork jus for a perpetually satisfying dinner. Fall and winter flavors are coming through with this butternut squash tortelloni ($34) flavored with brown butter, balsamic, and sage."
"If you're up for a nightcap even after one of Standard Italian's martinis with sidecars, head to Fool's Errand, Tiffani Faison's tiny cocktail and snack bar on Boylston Street. Recently reopened with a new menu, it offers some dynamic pairings, or you can select the Choose Your Own Adventure option on the menu and get a custom drink made for your preferences. Every Sunday is chicken Parm night at Standard Italian."
