La Padrona

La Padrona is located in Boston's luxe new Raffles Hotel and exudes high-end hospitality. The latest restaurant from A Street Hospitality (Porto, Saloniki), a supergroup which includes multi-time James Beard award-winning chef-owner Jody Adams and operator Eric Papachristos, La Padrona does authentic, regional Italian cuisine, from Tuscan-style flatbread to broiche gelato sandwiches for dessert. With hand-made pastas, humanely harvested seafood and meats, farm herbs and vegetables on the menu and top-shelf spirits on the bar, it was named the best new restaurant of 2024 by Boston magazine. The multi-level restaurant, meanwhile, is drenched in dark woods, rich fabrics and other design details inspired by an upscale villa.
