Giacomos (cash only and first come first serve) and la familia Giorgio’s are probably my two favs. Carmelinas is pretty good as well. For drinks I love love Parla. I wouldn’t go for a nice dinner, but Parla has this awesome dungeon crawler cocktail menu where you roll a die and they bring you special surprise drinks and you fill out a loyalty card. Can get expensive, but the drinks are great and it’s a fun little experience.

It can be hit or miss but there’s some really great restaurants and bakeries if you can sift through the tourist traps. Also pretty entertaining for people watching but Hanover can erupt into a shitshow pretty quickly on the weekends.

Why would you ever try and drive to that area, do you know Cambridge at all?

Ah, no worries. It also depends on what you get I suppose. Haven’t been there in over a year, so maybe quality has gone down? Usually liked their chicken parm and calamari. Also their portions can be more family style, which I agree, is sort of annoying.
Def not second grader vibes at Parla. Unless they’re helping to carry you out the door 😂
