who gave this place five stars?? I was thinking maybe 2. by pickyonparkdrive on 10/3/2009 via Citysearch
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 on 6/23/2009 via Citysearch
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 on 9/10/2008 via Citysearch
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 on 9/13/2007 via Insider Pages
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…

Best Taste of Boston Pizza!! by janababy on 10/22/2006 via Citysearch
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 on 8/8/2006 via Citysearch
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. on 3/21/2006 via Judy's Book
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. on 3/10/2006 via Judy's Book
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. on 2/13/2006 via Judy's Book
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…

Best Pizza in Boston!! by johnmaloni on 2/11/2005 via Citysearch
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 on 2/12/2004 via Citysearch
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 on 12/10/2003 via Citysearch
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 on 4/7/2003 via Citysearch
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…

Great takeout by anonymous7 on 6/12/2002 via Citysearch
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.…
