North End Restaurant Picks for Pizza and Pasta with Seafood

Looking for good pizza other than Reginas. Heard that Umertos is good for Sicilian. Any restaurants sell the thin crusted type with minimal toppings that you get in Italy? Also what is a good pick for a casual restaurant which serves al dente pasta, red sauce, with the freshest seafood?

Am mostly interested in the North End unless there%26#39;s something great near Fenway Park. Go Sox.

Thanks!!

I%26#39;ve never been to Italy, but I like the pizza at Antico Forno. It has a pretty thin, brick oven crust.

For red sauce and seafood, I%26#39;d definitely go with The Daily Catch.

For some reason I thought I had heard that Galleria Umberto had closed - I hope that was some kind of dream induced from spending too much time on TripAdvisor. We used to go there all that time on Saturdays while our son was in Italian school, particularly for the arancini.

There is only one restaurant in the Boston area (that I know of) that is somewhat reminiscent of genuine Neapolitan pizza like they make at Michele%26#39;s in Naples. It%26#39;s a new place in Saugus called Angela%26#39;s that has a coal-fired oven. If you order the plain pizza it can evoke memories of the real thing. It would be wicked hard for an out-of-towner to find, and would certainly require a car to get there, and frankly probably isn%26#39;t worth the effort. But for the record, here is their website:

Thanks to both of you.

Had some slices from Umbertos in March as well as arancini and calzones and then basically waddled back to my mom%26#39;s house in the Boston suburbs. Hopefully Umberto%26#39;s hasn%26#39;t closed since then! Thanks for the tip about Angela%26#39;s. A trip to Saugus is in the stars next time I visit my mom.

My favorite for Italian Seafood is The Daily Catch -- the tiny place on Hanover Street or their slightly larger spot, with outdoor dining on Northern Ave. Only seafood ... no meat options.

My two favorite dishes are Monkfish Masala and Swordfish Vinaigrette. My husband swears by clams vongole in white sauce and my kids eat fried or backed haddock and pasta w/ red sauce.

Thanks for the specific menu picks forgotmypword!
