Best of Boston 2026: Best Hotel Restaurant

Jody Adams has a knack for delivering spectacular northern Italian cuisine in luxury hotel settings, as at her beloved and bygone Rialto. Her newer perch at the Back Bay's grand Raffles Boston hotel—with Eric Papachristos and Jon Mendez, collectively A Street Hospitality—is now the place to celebrate big business deals, birthdays, and anniversaries. Every aspect has been polished to a high gleam: the theatrically palatial décor, the exacting service, the trophy-laden wine list, and, above all, the luxurious seafood, steaks, chops, and house-made pastas.
