Boston isn’t short on Italian food — it’s easy to find variations inspired by different regions of the old country, as well as the red sauce variety popularized by so many Italian-American grandmas. And the North End doesn’t have a patent on the stuff, either — there are excellent options throughout the city and its surrounding ‘burbs.

Here are 30 restaurants that showcase some of the best Italian and Italian-American food the Boston area has to offer, from Sicilian-inspired seafood to hefty plates of pasta.

Note: While pizza is probably America’s favorite Italian offering, dedicated pizzerias don’t appear on this map; they’ve got their own. We’ve also omitted sub shops, keeping this map to mostly full-service options (with a couple exceptions) — but we’ll feature Boston’s best Italian-inspired sandwich joints at a later date.
