 Not familiar with it because I've only been to Boston once.  We did have a
 recommendation to try La Summa in the North End and it was great.  We got
 there about 1:30 or so while walking the Freedom Trail [btw, this is an
 absolute must for tourists to Boston].  I opened the door and this little dog
 started barking.  I noticed a sign that said Hours 4:30 => and turned to the
 wife and told her they only served dinner.  We started to walk away and this
 little old lady stuck her head out and asked us what we wanted.  I told her
 we stopped by to eat but didn't know they only served dinner.  She said, 'well,
 we're open for You'.  We declined, but she insisted, 'it's No problem,
 everything is ready for tonite anyway, come on in'.  We did.  She runs the
 place with her niece.  We had a delightful italian meal all by ourselves with
 them waiting on us and chatting.  Wonderful place.
