Dear Italian Friends.....my husband and I are missing Italy. It has been 3 months since we have returned! Does anyone have any suggestions for good "real-like" Italian food in the Boston, MA, Louisville - Lexington, KY area? I can't wait til next summer for another great meal! Ciao for now!

If you find anything in Louisville or Lexington would you let me know? I'll be needing a fix over the holidays.

I don't know anything about Lexington, Ky, but in Boston there is a somewhat overlooked but fabulous Sardinian restaurant called Maurizio's:

While I was looking up the address, I came across this article from the Boston Globe:

My husband spent years living in the North End in Boston (their Little Italy). You can't go wrong with just about any of the restaurants there. It's fun just to walk around and a lot of the locals still speak Italian.
