The 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… Read Full Editorial
who gave this place five stars?? I was thinking maybe 2. by pickyonparkdrive via Citysearch on 10/3/2009
We got the mussels appetizer, chicken cacciatore special and the veal marsala.
Pros: The atmosphere is a laid-back and the place was bustling, but we were able to get a seat on a Friday night. The service was friendly and the long menu…
CANESTARO - Great food, friendly people, lovely surroundings by George12 via Citysearch on 6/23/2009
Just steps from Fenway Park is A GEM OF A PLACE! Canestaro, I have loved it for years, but am surprised that some people still haven't discovered it. It's just around the corner from Fenway Park on Peterborough St (where Park Drive…
Great food ... sloth-like service by BigHal via Citysearch on 9/10/2008
The place has great food!!! The place is in a quiet out-of-the-mainstream location, yet a 3 minute walk to Fenway Park and Beacon St. Make friends with Tom out back and get there a bit early and you will have an excellent parking…
THE place for good food fast by SouthEnder Z via Insider Pages on 9/13/2007
We have this place on speed dial in our house. Their pizzas are excellent (get the Greek one) and their pastas are always delivered hot with good size portions. Our favorites are the tortellini bellisimo and the penne vodka. The staff…
Hidden, casual pizza joint near the Fenway impresses with standout ingredients and pleasant surroundings. by Contributor via Citysearch on 2/26/2007
The Scene
Canestaro's is mostly known as a popular takeout option for neighborhood students and professionals (and the odd Red Sox player). But it also offers a pair of comfy dining environments (an expansive sidewalk patio, and…
Best Taste of Boston Pizza!! by janababy via Citysearch on 10/22/2006
I was in town for business, the first time to Boston, and wanted to try some of the local pizza. The Fairmont Copley recommended Pizzeria Regina, but after reading the very mixed reviews, looked further and found this highly recommended…
The Best Pizza on Earth by joepasta via Citysearch on 8/8/2006
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…
A Nice Neighborhood Italian Restaurant by moriah c. via Judy's Book on 3/21/2006
When I used to live in Fenway, it was a refreshing treat to walk over to Canestaro to get italian food. Beware of all the Fenway tourists though and opt to visit on a weekday. Their bread is great as well as their pizza and pasta. The…
Not as Fancy as other Top Notch Italian Restaruants by Aditya M. via Judy's Book on 3/10/2006
This restaruant is like a up scale pizza place. Its is more fancy than the pizza type diners but is not as fancy as some of the Italian restaruants in the Boston North End. The people here a nice and in my experiences here the food is made…
Romantic and Friendly by Teena T. via Judy's Book on 2/13/2006
This is one step above the everyday pizza place. Quite a few pasta dishes (including linguine primavera, basil gnocchi, and tortellini with chicken) are offered in addition to the pizza. The service is exceptional and friendly. There are…
Great Italian in the Fenway Area by w j c. via Judy's Book on 2/3/2006
The North End isn't the only place in Boston for great Italian cuisine and pizza. Canastero is located in the Fenway district of the city and is of a great place to go for a meal especially if don’t want to hike across town.The pizza here…
Delicious by Fran K via Insider Pages on 4/4/2005
Canestaro's has some of the finest Italian
cuisine anywhere! They also serve fresh
seafood and other great dishes. You
get your money's worth on portions.
Canestaro Restaurant & Pizzeria by Van D via Insider Pages on 3/22/2005
Great takeout option for neighborhood students and pros. Nice looking environment where you can relax and dine in. Service is top notch.
Best Pizza in Boston!! by johnmaloni via Citysearch on 2/11/2005
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…
Best Italian in Boston by stephen_pizonne via Citysearch on 2/12/2004
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…
Canestaro Does It Right! by bostonloanshark via Citysearch on 12/10/2003
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…
Best Pizza in Fenway area by McBain via Citysearch on 4/7/2003
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…
Our spot by cabinboy21 via Citysearch on 1/31/2003
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…
The Best by dmerrill12 via Citysearch on 7/27/2002
Simply put, Canestaro's is the best in boston by far.
Great takeout by anonymous7 via Citysearch on 6/12/2002
I live in Back Bay and always order pizza from Canestaros. Their non-pizza dishes are also delicious. Delivery service is always consistent-30-45 minutes and the drivers friendly. The thin crust pizza is absolutely wonderful--not greasy.…
