This was such a surprise! We got out of a concert late on a Tuesday night and found this kitchen open until 1am or later. It’s a small bar with amazing food and awesome service. Have not had better service at five star restaurants. We got salads, fried mozzarella and an amazing eggplant parm sub. Delicious soft fresh bread with oil for dipping was brought out with the drinks. We were there for an hour and the bill was extremely fair.

Anchovies is a red sauce joint with its own particular spin on Italian American classics. Come for the cozy quirky time worn atmosphere. Delight in the office beat but very friendly servers. Done on the interpretation of ItaloAmerican classic dishes. Enjoy cocktails beers and wines. This is clearly a local favorite. Enjoy.

What a nice and cozy atmosphere. Really not easy to find in the US. Easy to meet interesting people. Fair prices and knowledgeable service. Great drinks and interesting small (food) menue. We LOVED it

Great dive bar that feels so homey. Perfect mix of reasonably priced drinks, quality appetizers, tasty food, friendly staff, and not too much seating to where it almost feels exclusive. Definitely a gem of South End. 10/10 would recommend!

Definitely dive bar vibes but with extremely friendly customer service, and awesome eats!
I really enjoyed my chicken Parm, salad and whatever deliciousness you created to dip the bread in is awesome, you should bottle it and sell it.
Love the wine pour too…
A server, the gentlemen with a mohawk, did a great job.
Thank you chef!

I've got this pasta in my top 3 Italian cuisine experiences of all time, and I travel all over the country eating Italian food. Very surprising too as it appeared to just be a basic bar w bar food. I'll be back in Boston in a week and I can't wait to come here again.

The downside at Anchovies is that they don't take reservations and the wait can be long, and there's very little room to actually wait inside. Once we sat down, the service was excellent as was the food. Great specials, linguini with clams is great, linguini with mussels was terrific, the lasagna special was great.

Had a fun dinner with friends here! All our food was great - my boyfriend loved the calamari and I really enjoyed my calzone (and it was big enough for leftovers!).

Super down to earth and attentive bartenders. Great menu of comfort Italian food with vegetarian options. Laid back and comfy atmosphere.

A great late night spot serving up strong drinks and humongous calzones. 11/10 recommend if you're looking for a memorable experience.

Good food, good service and wonderful atmosphere. What else would you need?

My boyfriend and I came here to get dinner as it was close to our Airbnb and it was nice! It has a grunge dive bar feel and the booths are old and a little sticky, not too many vegetarian options but the staff are friendly and the drinks are great! We had a good time.

Great local place! Excellent bar food (a surprise fantastic Italian kitchen in a bar!), really nice service, reasonable prices. Glad we found it!

I love their simple and comforting food, specially their meatball sub, which is oh so cheesy and delicious! The ambiance is also incredible, although the place is often too crowded. Beer selection is fine, but it could be better. Would love to have more IPA options on tap. Overall, I love and always have fun at this place!

Cozy, traditional bar vibe that stands out amongst the higher-end bars in this neighborhood. Good Italian food, delicious crispy french fries. Front tables are bar service, back tables are table service. It gets packed!

Anchovies was so fun and full of vibrancy! The bartenders were super helpful and let me charge my phone behind the bar. We had a wonderful time there!

Party of five came here on the first night in Boston. Three of the five of us enjoyed our dinner. Ost disliked dish was the Chicken Piccanta. Its a small place where five adults had to squeeze into a booth for four.
Kimberly Osborne
Loved this place! A great Friday night hangout if you want good food and great atmosphere. No wait time. Great beer prices.

This place is the jam. It is a dive bar that serves some damn good pasta. I think I ordered the "ricardio" or something along those lines. It was pasta with chicken, mushrooms, and a tomato cream sauce. You definitely get your money's worth here. They serve food until 1:30 AM, so don't settle for anything else if you're looking for a late night meal. It's got all the good vibes and banter from the bartender and the regulars. I wish I lived in Boston so that I could be a regular.
