A night out in the South End

Boston en Noche

Don't worry, you don't need to speak Spanish to appreciate the gorgeous interior and calm, nighttime ambiance of this restaurant. Through thick, wood-slatted doors and down a set of stairs sit two adjoined, dimly lit rooms. Mirrored walls reflect the ceiling, decorated with hand blown Italian pendants meant to look like the starry night sky.

Night owls rejoice: The kitchen is open until 1:30 a.m.
