We’re so excited to feature the newly opened concept from the team behind Boston’s beloved Eastern Standard. Bringing a warm, modern take on Italian dining, Standard Italian is a celebration of handmade pastas, stuzzichini (little snacks), and amazing entrées, all crafted with the thoughtful execution that made Eastern Standard a favorite. From lasagna to Chef Brian Rae’s famous porchetta, their menu is built around rich, comforting flavors that pair beautifully with Italian wines.
To highlight their all-Italian wine list, Wine Director Andrew Thompson, curated a lineup showcasing the depth and diversity of Italian winemaking. From Cortese to Carignano he’s got four wines picked out that we know you’ll love. It’s the perfect spot for a cozy winter dinner so be sure to snag a table for yourself soon.
