Boston 🉑 Free drinks 🤫 Family-friendly meals

🍝 Nappi’s Restaurant: Boston’s BYOB Italian Gem—Cozy, Cheap, Consistently Amazing Tired of $50 entrees, $20 cocktails, and $25 whiskey shots? This family-run spot in Medford is a game-changer—BYOB (shhh, enjoy it quietly 😉) and full of homestyle, no-fuss Italian food. I’ve been 5 times, and it’s never let me down. 🌟 Why It’s a Must No fancy decor, over-the-top service, or “Instagrammable” plates—just simple, delicious food. Cash-only, no menu (they’ll tell you the day’s specials), and portions so big, we left with leftovers for lunch tomorrow 🥡. 🍴 The Dishes We Devoured Joey Shrimp: Even I loved the sauce. I usually hate tangy tomato sauces, but theirs is light—mildly sour, slightly sweet, and perfect with plump, juicy shrimp. Meatballs: My personal favorite. Huge, dense, and packed with flavor—no mushy texture here. So good, I mopped up the sauce with bread (don’t judge). Chicken Cutlet Pasta: Crispy-fried cutlet tossed with pasta—crunchy, savory, and so aromatic. That “fried then sauteed” scent? Unbeatable 👃. Veal Pasta: Tender veal with soft, homemade pasta—creamy, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The pasta texture? Chef’s kiss 👩🍳💋. 🥃 Pairing Perfection Brought my Austin Hope and a 9-year wheated bourbon (barrel-proof!)—sipping that with the food? Bliss. No overpriced drinks, just your favorite bottle and great company. 💸 The Price Tag $50 per person with leftovers—insane for the quality. This is how Italian food should feel: cozy, filling, and zero pretense. 📍 Nappi’s Restaurant: 370 Salem St, Medford. Cash only, BYOB encouraged—go hungry, leave happy. #BostonItalian #BYOBAwesome #HomestyleEats
