Best of Boston

2018 Best Neighborhood Restaurant, South Boston

Publico

It’s clear this Southie newcomer lives up to its name ("for the public good" in Latin): On any given evening, you’ll find a motley crew of neighborhood folks enjoying globetrotting bites (see: the leche de tigre–drizzled ceviche), crowd-pleasing flatbreads, and playful cocktails.
