Editors’ choice Tie

Il Ponte, Woburn

Chef and owner Beni Kurti has cooked in Michelin-starred kitchens, and that pedigree is apparent in every dish he puts out at Il Ponte. A native of Italy, Kurti has created a refined menu that reflects his heritage in dishes ranging from traditional pasta Bolognese to honey lavender roast duck. A selection of wood-fired pizzas is also available—a casual dining choice crafted with the same care as the rest of the offerings. 428 Main St., Woburn, 781-933-0408, ilpontew.com

Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant and Marketplace, Beverly

Casual, homestyle cooking is at the heart of Giuseppe’s mission, and the restaurant does it exceptionally well. The menu is full of hearty pastas, savory pizzas, and house-made sauce. The meatballs, gnocchi, and more are made by hand. Guests can sit in the welcoming dining room or grab dishes from the prepared food case—or both, if your delightful meal leaves you eager for more. 27 Enon St., Beverly, 978-720-8339, giuseppesfinefood.com
