Frommer's Review
The long, fast-moving line snaking toward the door is your first clue that this cafeteria-style spot just off the Freedom Trail is a bargain. Then you notice that most of the customers are locals and businesspeople. The food is worth the wait. You can fill up on a couple of slices of pizza, but for the true experience, try arancini (a deep-fried rice ball filled with ground beef, peas, and cheese). Calzones -- ham and cheese; spinach; spinach and cheese; or spinach, sausage, and cheese -- and mozzarella-stuffed potato croquettes (panzarotti) are also tasty. Study the cases of food while you wait and be ready to order at once when you reach the head of the line. Pause for a quick lunch and get on with your sightseeing.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
