featured in so many tv shows and their lobster ravioli looks incredible among everything else that they serve here welcome to rhino's place i believe that guy theory shout out to guy fieri calls this one of the best italian especially pasta restaurants in the united states and they don't take reservations all i know is that it's extremely popular oftentimes there's a line waiting out the door to get in and yeah they don't accept reservations but i think we got here at a good time let's go eat rhinos place it is open right for three please thank you very much okay oh yeah amazing place just about 10 tables or so and i am looking forward to this meal got our order in got some of the specials and had to get the lobster ravioli when the menu is not too extensive when it's precise and concise you know that they do it well i'm here in the kitchen with the amazing chefs here at rhino's place the sauces are going the aroma of the tomato the homemade pastas boiling oh man it smells so good we're gonna see a little bit of the cooking and especially see as they make the lobster ravioli the homemade pasta station oh yeah known especially for their homemade pasta here [Music] and that's one of the standout reasons why rhino's place is so good the quality the care pasta made to order by hand yeah lobster raviolis okay amazing what type of sauce is it in the lobster ravioli brandy cream oh ho ho man i think so wow [Music] okay what is this one something okay um [Music] [Music] oh this one i ordered also okay yes i think i had these three dishes oh wow okay okay veal marsala yeah wow that is beautiful amazing kitchen amazing pastas the aromas the garlic the cheese i think those three dishes were our three dishes so i'm gonna run back to the table to start eating thank you guys very much oh man these portions are huge and they were just rocking that kitchen with the sauces with the the wine the aroma of wine the parmesan the fresh handmade pasta when you come here you feel like your family and these portion sizes are huge look at the size of this bolognese it's like an entire basin full it's massive so i've got four dishes here but i have to begin with that centerpiece the lobster ravioli huge pockets of ravioli there's even pieces of lobster floating around that sauce you can tell how rich it is how creamy it is you can smell the brandy look at the size of this lobster ravioli i don't think that's a one biter i think we better we better slice it in half [Music] you can see filled with i think uh probably some ricotta and then lobster as well wow oh that's unbelievable the creaminess the richness that aroma of the the brandy and the herbs in there all that's rich and incredible i'm going to dig into the massive bolognese with a homemade handmade spaghetti big chunks i think it said a combination of veal and pork in the meat sauce oh man the taste of the meat sauce the bolognese the tartness of the tomato that sprinkle of parsley on top the parmesan folded throughout oh man that's just bursting with flavor it's so fresh it's so incredibly good okay next dish that i got is the veal veal cutlets marsala so there's white wine sauce in here there's mushrooms and then you could order it with the the fresh handmade pasta so i got i think it's called kuselini and there's ham in here too let's let's cut a piece of the veal this is so aromatic too the aroma of that white wine the mushrooms the parsley balance everything on one bite the tartness that reduction of white wine the fresh parsley on top again the tangliness and the chewiness the al dente noodles the oh the tenderness of that meal i didn't even notice until taking a few chews and the mushrooms are just excellent and then the final dish that we got is eggplant filled with ricotta and tomato sauce and a bunch of parmesan on top as well look at that cross section just completely completely filled with what i call that thin sheets of eggplant wow that looks cheesy [Music] all the smokiness of that the richness of the ricotta but then counterbalanced by the tartness of the tomato i think there's some pesto in there too the flavor of the basil but not not overpowering smokey wow that is amazing the entire roll just kind of like melts with tunes in your mouth all four things that we ordered the next level outstanding you can tell that this is the restaurant the type of restaurant where you cannot make a bad order everything would just be at the highest level of quality and balanced and just flavor to perfection okay moving back into the lobster raviolis [Music] down the best ravioli i've ever had they're just like balloons of ricotta and lobster the tenderness of the veal the mushrooms the white wine [Music] then moving back to the spaghetti [Music] and i can safely say that's one of the best plates of spaghetti i've ever had in my life the garlic the aromatic bay leaves and then just that parmesan folded throughout and that's on top of the quality handmade pasta these eggplant rolls are also seriously good completely melts in your mouth and the smokiness is what you love so much i love how you could order the pasta on the side too but i thought it would be amazing to have it all mixed together and that was not a mistake so good to have all the sauces mixed together with the veal with the wine there's some ham in here that's powering the flavor as well [Music] you'll want to rehydrate it with as much of that rich lobster sauce as possible [Music] oh man that was just unbelievably good and the service the hospitality is on the next level you literally feel like you're going to someone's home they take care of you guarantee that's some of the best service you'll find in all of boston we've got one more place to go on this italian food tour of boston and it's also in east boston but this time we're eating pizza [Music] so here we are in boston uh boston is part of the pizza belt stretches from philadelphia up to boston and new haven and there are three pizzerias here they're legendary it's a gallery alberto there's regina and there's centaurpias and they're all great but of the three centaurpia is the mega bomb and that's where we're going right now down the road from the airport underneath the highway bridge and i can smell the pizza kind of occupies this entire corner underneath the bridge on the side of the road what a spot here we are okay see the side state sausage pizza figure it out what a spot you come in here you're thinking pizza and immediately at the door there's this kebab girl that just greets you you smell the smoke of the grilled meat so they're not only famous for pizza but grilled meat as well [Music] we come from louisville kentucky where it's like the pizza headquarters yeah wow i mean papa john's pizza hut what did you guys order the meat lovers the meat lovers [Music] [Music] joanna a hot cherry peppers hot cherry peppers [Music] the kebabs are served like an appetizer you they serve it to you you eat it before your pizza arrived we got a mix of chicken and beef they also have lamb which they already ran out of for today and i love just the style serves it with peppers and then also with literally like a half a loaf of bread on top oh it's so incredibly juicy so tender that's just like simple smoky and flavorful double pepper yeah sure let's do a pepper [Music] just like clearly exactly what it needs to be it's so juicy oh okay let's do a pepper oh it's so juicy perfectly briny and sour and there's a classic italian right here awesome oh it's so good so much flavor too i can call that red perfect appetizer and pizza should be like almost ready oh thank you [Music] wow i think this is the next one thank you very much awesome [Music] okay tear in [Music] oh i was terrified that after 20 years it wouldn't be as good as it was and now i'm thinking maybe it's gotten better wow sausage and garlic the only one to order at centerpiece oh just look at the way but the way that it's so thin at the at the very center of the pizza and then it gets thicker and thicker as you go to the edge in the middle your first bite is just this melty gooeyness of cheese and garlic and sausage the dough is so perfect it's almost like you don't even realize it's there it just melts into the cheese it's one the dough is one with the cheese the crush a little sprinkle of oregano or something on there and garlic oh man my god do you like the pizza what about yin it's really good and it's so it's so good when it's so hot like i said the whole the whole pizza just melts in your mouth it's dripping yeah it's dripping it's so juicy wow and a crunchy charred crust oh it's just like a melting juicy pizza it's so perfectly good yeah you can actually see the chunks of garlic on here not just garlic powder not just like dried garlic that's real chopped garlic that also makes a huge difference i'll go with some chili flakes on this piece i think like part of what makes it so incredible also is how it's so hot i mean it would be good cold it would be good at any temperature but that heat and just like the melting sliding juicy ingredients just like takes it to the next level that bite looks ridiculous there's so much cheese at the bottom this is the center it was in the center and all that cheese just accumulates it's like curd food oh wow is it the same sentence oh wow and then chase it out with one of the peppers [Music] a few comments number one is that we were all saying how the sausage it doesn't overpower the pizza it's not too salty it's almost like subtly there in the background you're just eating and then all of a sudden you remembered you ordered the sausage and then you do know that it's there but it's not overpowering and then the other thing is that it doesn't feel too heavy too greasy it's almost like a clean clean tasting pizza any other comments all i would say is i wrote a book on pizza i put this is one of the best pizzas in the world but i hadn't been for two decades and i was panicking that it wouldn't live up and it'd be thinking back was looking through rose-colored glasses but today this pizza is as good as it ever was so you wrote yeah you wrote the book on pizza and this is still one of the best for the best in the world very unique yeah but don't pile stuff on this pizza get the sausage and garlic that's it oh yeah the bite that is the ultimate bite that's a beautiful bite like that the high concentration of cheese and the oregano the oregano and all the oils and juices that have accumulated into the center of the pizza oh yeah i figured they have to fold it right that's free that's legit yeah good that's naples that's a pro move right there oh yeah with that oregano a beautiful like experience and how long has it been since you've been here 40 years old and you're from boston i'm from boston yeah [Laughter] thank you very much [Music] so that brings us to the end of this kind of a mini italian american food tour of boston starting in the north end with that incredible chicken parmesan sub and then moving on to rhino's place again the owner she was so
