Shrewsbury Street might be hailed as Worcester’s Italian restaurant row, but the Hamilton Street neighborhood is making a strong play of its own with three family-owned favorites.
La Cucina’s family “gravy” recipe attracts a regular crowd at 294 Hamilton Street. Old photos adorn a collection of antique doors, eliciting a transportive ambience. Order the meatballs and gravy to complete your Italian journey.
Rosalina’s at 83 Hamilton Street is the perfect place for a big party. With long tables, homemade raviolis, and a BYOB policy, there’s no better place to bring your Italian family (except maybe your nonna’s house.)
Owner Pina Conte’s Italian roots inhibit every inch of Mari e Monti on 19 Wall Street. The Vitello Marsala alone has been known to attract politicos from all over the state. Make sure to splurge for the Pappardelle.
Great food always brings people together and these three Italian gems are steadily rejuvenating Hamilton Street’s neighborly spirit.
