It's no secret that we have a loud and proud foodie population here in New England, and with good reason. Our restaurant industry is killing it, and there's never a shortage of new establishments opening their doors to the public. You can never run out of places to visit for your next dining experience, especially in Massachusetts.

When it comes to food, there's nothing like the classic comfort options. These dishes are often sentimental and nostalgic in nature, and remind you of childhood days when calories didn't matter and you could eat to your heart's content. This writer's favorite comfort food would have to be mac & cheese, cause come on. It's mac & cheese.

Cheapism, a digital blog, recently shared this list of the best comfort food restaurants in each state. Their choice for Massachusetts is a family-owned Italian restaurant in the heart of Boston's historic North End.
