"Unlike many other Boston neighborhoods, Jamaica Plain (locals call it J.P.) is home to few Italian restaurants. Tonino fills that void with aplomb; the 28-seater is the embodiment of somebody’s favorite cute neighborhood spot. The pasta- and pizza-focused menu put together by the chef and owner, Luke Fetbroth, is taut and efficient. His best trait seems to be taking a handful of ingredients and doing as little to them as possible. The maitake and oyster-mushroom lumache is simple and flawless, its creaminess coming from roasted garlic crème fraîche. Then there’s toasted cubes of housemade bread, each smeared with a borderline inappropriate amount of butter and draped with a single length of anchovy. It is a salty, buttery, perfect one-biter."

"13th on Best Restaurants of Boston Magazine 2024 (36 in ‘23) Laura’s reco This Centre Street gem is a distillation of the J.P. vibe: hip and chill, informal and eclectic, family- and vegetarian-friendly. That it knows and serves its area so well accounts for the ongoing scrum for seats here. Plus, pretty much everyone wants in on Tonino’s unusual take on pizza, a medium-thick Roman style growing in popularity in the United States. Then there are the mind-blowing handmade pasta dishes; the vivid salads; and the perfect bowl of littlenecks and guanciale in exquisite broth. Toss in a thoughtful list of wines and digestifs, and you have the Platonic ideal of a neighborhood Italian joint for one of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods"
