Best of Boston

Any meal that begins with Josh Ziskin’s tried-and-true cicchetti—bite-size sage leaves dunked in tempura batter and fried with salty anchovies; crisp arancini filled with braised beef and cheese; Tuscan meatballs with porcini and prosciutto—is bound to be a success. Follow these up with a rosy, wood-grilled hanger steak and Ziskin’s signature tagliatelle Bolognese, and you’ll be as befuddled as we are that this Brookline Village hideaway continues to fly under the radar.
