Caffè Paradiso

Boston


Some regulars here are so dedicated that they organize their business calendars so they don't miss their spot at the counter. The bartender masterfully minds the espresso machine and pours neat cognacs with efficient and understated finesse. It's a great place to watch Premier League and Serie A football, and the cannoli and cappuccini are strong contenders for Boston's best.
