Best of Boston

1998 Best Italian Restaurant, Take-Out

Cremaldi’s

Food so good you won’t want to go out for dinner. Although the containers should feed two or three people, don’t underestimate the hog factor once you dig in. It’s a toss-up which lasagna is the best, meatless traditional or chicken and spinach, but the veal parmesan is hands-down better than any other in town. There’s even Thai chicken for those who (strangely) don’t want to eat Italian.
