2025 Best Neighborhood Restaurant, Fenway--Kenmore

Standard Italian

This Italian newcomer shares the winning formula of famous next-door sibling Eastern Standard: service trained to owner Garrett Harker’s exacting hospitality standards, beverages by cocktail demigod Jackson Cannon, and a crowd-pleasing menu with enough refinement to fascinate the food nerds, including northern Italian standouts like a stunning porchetta, rabbit ragu, and lasagna Bolognese.
