A Guide to Restuarants in Cleveland Circle in Boston

Located right on the Green Line, Cleveland Circle is a bustling place for Boston College students and residents of the Brighton/Brookline area right outside of  Boston. With a few bars, a movie theater, and apartments throwing constant college parties the area is frequently visited by anyone within a few mile radius. Its greatest strength, however, is in the multitude of places to grab food, either for a quick bite or a sit down meal.




With more than a half-dozen choices it may be a little hard to decide where you want to eat. One good thing I can tell you is that there are no places you need to specifically avoid (with the exception of Mary Anne’s Bar), but you will encounter different types of experiences depending on where you decide to go. The purpose of this article is to give you a guide to the food and experiences offered at each eating establishment.




The first thing you’ll notice is that you have your choice of pizza. Located almost right next to each other Presto Pizza and Pino’s Pizza are both solid choices as pizzeria restaurants. Both are priced about the same and provde quality pizza. Pino’s has more specials, however, particularly in terms of ordering slices. Presto has better subs and pasta dishes, on the other hand, so if those are what you’ve got your eye on then that’s the way to go. They both have similar pizzeria atmospheres and can fill up easily when busy, potentially depriving you of a seat. If you are looking for a quick slice of pizza my personal recommendation is to stop by Pino’s Pizza.
