Diners have spoken, and only one eatery in Massachusetts was worthy of OpenTable’s 2025 list of top 100 restaurants.
While “some lists are decided by critics,” OpenTable’s list is determined by diner reviews and demand.
Six Massachusetts restaurants made the list in 2024, but only one remained this year: Krasi in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood.
An authentic Greek restaurant, Krasi works to embody the ancient hospitality concept known as Philoxenia, which translates to “love of strangers.”
“We’re more than a Greek restaurant — we’re the place where impeccable wines and a bit of playful charm come together effortlessly,” Krasi’s website reads. “Our space is sleek, chic, and just a bit rebellious, with Greek-inspired décor that’s all about making a statement.”
The menu specializes in dishes inspired by Greece’s 13 regions and rich agricultural landscape. Standout options include Giouvetsi (braised lamb) from the hills of Thessaly and fresh seafood (Amberjack, octopus or squid) inspired by the shores of Crete.
Diners can pair their meal with a glass (or bottle) of Greek wine off Krasi’s extensive and carefully crafted menu. Wine enthusiasts can also expand their knowledge at Krasi’s wine symposium that takes place on every Wednesday from 5–9:30 p.m.
Reservations for either the symposium or to dine at Krasi in general are strongly encouraged. The restaurant is at 48 Gloucester St., Boston.
While Krasi was the only Massachusetts restaurant featured on OpenTable’s list, two more eateries in New England made the cut. They were Fore Street and Scales, both in Portland, Maine.
