New list names best Italian restaurant in every New England state

BOSTON — With nearly every city and town in America home to at least one Italian restaurant, it’s no secret why the cuisine continues to rank among the most popular in the country each year.

The website 24/7 Tempo recently reviewed data from Eater, Yelp, The Daily Meal, Fodors, and Gayot to create its “Best Italian Restaurant in Every State” list.

“The results reveal a vast and varied landscape of Italian and Italian-American cooking,” 24/7 Tempo wrote. “There are places that strive for authenticity and preserve tradition, like the celebrity-magnet Mother Wolf in Los Angeles, but also high-end restaurants creating imaginative variations on the theme, like Scampo in Boston.”

The best Italian restaurant in every New England state was named as follows:

• Connecticut: Grano Arso in Chester
• Maine: Ports of Italy in Boothbay Harbor & Rockport
• Massachusetts: Scampo in Boston
• New Hampshire: Campo Enoteca in Manchester
• Rhode Island: Al Forno in Providence
• Vermont: Sarducci’s in Montpelier
