monton into the rough and
tumble world of pizza dough
in 1961. Interior design of
the spanking new pizzeria
reflects the 80s trend
towards light, glass, brass,

color schemes.

No plastic bucket seats or

a real bar cutfitted with a
full selection of semi-adult

cocktails ($3.50), and draft
beer ($1.60 per 12-ounce

simplicity of pasta makes it a
natural for Boston’s. A .con-

six basic, pastorial favorites

Ribs and steak, two selec-
