Description:
The glass front wall of Piccola Venezia ("little Venice") shows off the exposed-brick dining room, decorated with photos and posters and filled with happy locals and out-of-towners. Portions are large, and the homey food tends to be heavy on red sauce. You might begin with the appetizer sampler, an artery-clogging delight featuring fried calamari, garlic bread with cheese, mozzarella sticks, and sautéed shrimp; a more traditional starter is tasty pasta e fagioli (bean and pasta soup). Then dig into a big plate of chicken parmigiana, eggplant rolatini, or grilled pork chops with vinegar peppers. This is a good place to try traditional Italian-American favorites such as polenta (home-style, not the yuppie croutons available at so many other places) and baccala (reconstituted salt cod).

Way better choices in the North End

While our food was good, and service decent, it just was not memorable. The calamari was average-served with a very basic marinara and no lemon (possibly forgotten) and I usually like...
