Ristorante Saraceno
286 Hanover St 617 227 5888
"Italian, obviously. Cosy (especially downstairs), friendly, and good quality. I paid around 19 euro for a soup and a main course about a year ago, that is about 23 dollar."
Legal Seafood restaurant
Airport Terminal C (United Airlines)
(617) 568-2811
"Reportedly not the best Legal in town, but quite qood nevertheless. Conveniently close to the Hyatt Harborside hotel and once inside, you forget that you are at an airport. Good food, with attention to the way it is presented. Main courses from around $14, which puts it two classes above the Hyatt's own restaurant: one for better food and another for lower price."
"Note that there is also a Legal Seafood snackbar, at the other end of the terminal. You'll want the restaurant instead."
Ida's Restaurant
3 Mechanic St., Boston. 617-523-0015
Price: Moderate. Open only Thurs-Sat. (no web site)
"This is a very small family-run Italian restaurant in the North End,
which is the Italian district. Mechanic St. is an alley off of Hanover
Street, the main street running through the North End. Mechanic St. overlooks
the Boston exit of the Sumner Tunnel. Reservations recommended. If you call
or go there, tell them that you are friends of "Al from MIT".
By public transportation, take the Blue Line from the Airport to Government Center, and then the Green Line north to Haymarket. If you exit the station by the escalator, make a 180 degree turn to the right at the top of the escalator. On your left will be the Big Dig. Bear left and cross the Big Dig to Cross St. Turn right and then left onto Hanover. Mechanic St. is the first alley on your right. Map (slightly obsolete due to Big Dig construction):
