About The Salty Pig
The Salty Pig sits in Back Bay, and the room reads exactly the way the Boston dining establishment expects a italian salumeria kitchen at this address to read — considered, particular, and exact about the things it cares about. Snacky Italian — go for the salumi board.
The cooking turns on signatures the Boston regulars order without looking at the menu: Salumi Board, Pizzas, and Cured Egg Yolk Pasta. The kitchen runs at the $$ register, with a wine programme that is either deep where the room is loud and tight where the room is quiet, and a service floor that has clearly worked at this register before.
For a solo dining dinner in Boston, this is one of the addresses you should already know about. Reservations skew easy; dress is smart casual. The averaged Food/Ambience/Value line sits at 8.9/10 — high enough to mean the room is doing more right than wrong, calibrated against the sharpest other tables in the city.
Why It's Perfect for Solo Dining
