Editorial fromThe post-bubble years have been good to neighborhood restaurants, and Canestaro's is just that to the Fenway. It's a family-run place with the kind of menu that mixes Italian, American and Italian-American staples in a low-key but…

The Best Pizza on Earth – I came to this restaurant before a red sox game just hoping to fill my stomach so I didn't get ripped off inside Fenway with their prices. Lucky for me I stumbled into the right place, just a block away from the park on Peterborough St. I had hands down the best pizza of my life. The dough must be a restaurant secret, because I've never had anything like it. I got the Caprese Pizza before the game which had the freshest tomatoes. I went back after the game to take home the BBQ chicken pizza which wa... read more

Best Pizza in Boston!! – Canestaro is a "Best of Boston" for us, whenever we go out for pizza or pasta. it's a great place to go with co-workers. Canestaro has a small, local and comfy feel to it (16 Peterborough Street is in the Fenway neighborhood). The food at Canestaro is very good. The service was exceptional. Our waitress made us feel like we were old friends. She offered the right amount of suggestions and descriptions of the shared appetizers, pizza and toppings, and the gourmet pasta entrees. She checked back to mak... read more

Best Italian in Boston – We discovered this nice little hideaway on our way to a Red Sox game. Surprisingly, not crowded with only an hour to go before gametime. It's located on a quiet residential street off the beginning of Park Drive (opposite The Fens). The menu features a good variety of appetizers, fresh salads and gourmet pasta dishes. Everything was priced under $16! We finished with an international coffee and tiramisu for dessert. Highly recommended.

Canestaro Does It Right! – I love this Fenway restaurant, from the nice decor to the pretty waitresses to the great food. You can tell everything is fresh and made to order, from the suberb flavors of every single dish. I know, I think I have tried them all. Great date place, without the big bucks! If the weather is bad, they do free delivery. But you want to go to the restaurant and try it.

Best Pizza in Fenway area – I've tried most of the pizza around Fenway Park, and Canestaro's is by far the best. Fast service, and good food at reasonable prices. If you are going to the Red Sox it is only a couple extra blocks of walking then most of the regular haunts, but it is well worth it.

Our spot – Living in the Fenway area, my future wife and I like to call this place "our spot". We love the neighborhood/family feel of the place not to mention the food is great too. From the sandwiches, pizzas and entrees, to the ever changing specials, there is a dish for everyone.
