Sam LaGrassa’s, Boston
Sam LaGrassa's is TripAdvisor's best-rated restaurant/food spot in all of Boston. Is it all that it's hyped up to be?

La Bottega, Ottawa
I recently visited 'La Bottega' in Ottawa's buzzy Byward market. Most people would simply walk by it as it looks like an Italian food market. However, in the back, there is a little restaurant that seats no more than 20 people and a build your own sandwich bar.
