The Scene
Canestaro's is mostly known as a popular takeout option for neighborhood students and professionals (and the odd Red Sox player). But it also offers a pair of comfy dining environments (an expansive sidewalk patio, and an attractive, sunny dining room) in which to enjoy its huge pasta dishes and homemade desserts. Youthful servers are pleased to keep water glasses and baskets of freshly baked rolls filled. A limited wine list yields surprisingly good selections.
The Food
The menu stretches over several pages to include an endless assortment of pastas, sandwiches and appetizers. Quality is impressively high, thanks to the kitchen's use of top-flight ingredients including imported meats and cheeses. Fresh Caprese salad (with exceptionally fresh mozzarella) and a hefty veal-Parmesan sandwich are sturdy entrees; split a small, thin-crust pizza on the side (try the Pollo for its pesto crust and chunks of chicken).
