   I remeber going to this little gem with my family when I was a wee lad. My California lady friend were staying at the Parker House thinking at was probably gone. Much to our delight a small walk down the alley behind the hotel broughtus to this delightful little restaurant. It is just the way I remeber it with small tile floor and cozy booths. My friend a gnocchi maven declared it was the best she ever had tasted! I had fish with a sublime Italian sauce. I recall dining there in the summer on the balcony terrace with its old world feeling.I have lived for many years in San Francisco. Unlike the trendy San Francisco restaurant scene where less than one handful of restaurants from 50 years or beyond are still extant, Boston still has an abundance of wonderful old eateries , Durgin Parks, Jake Wirths, Rgeinas Pizza Anthonys Pier 4, Union Oyster House the Ritz etc. Boston remain an island of constancy in with exception of New Orleans in ephemeral cities of America.

   favorite of all time: I am a lifelong resident of Boston, and to me, no matter where I go, no Italian restaurant compares to Marliave's. This is by far the best Italian food anywhere. The sauce is to die for, and the veal is oh so tender. I highly, highly recommend this restaurant!
