Established in 1929, Caffe Vittoria on Hanover Street holds the title of Boston's first Italian cafe, and the four-level space crammed with antique espresso machines and faded photographs is among the most atmospheric coffee rooms in New England. The menu runs to rich espresso, cannoli, tiramisu, affogato, and gelato in a setting that feels genuinely unchanged by time. Cash only and open until midnight daily, it remains a pilgrimage destination for anyone serious about Italian-style espresso culture.
