North End, Boston, MA

The facilities:  you'll have to take my word on this one

Trattoria Il Panino is without doubt my favorite Italian Restaurant ever. It serves up authentic cuisine from Italy's Almafi Coast. TIP is situated in the historic North End of Boston; it's right around the corner from Mike's Pastry (a story unto itself with cannoli the size of a Yule log). It has the further distinction of being the only restaurant I've ever been in where you have to literally go into the kitchen to use the facilities. The picture doesn't do it justice.  Check out the ravioli colored with squid ink.
