Our 2003 Grand Opening

Mayor Menino, Jonathan, and Jim

Italian Express has been located in East Boston since 1993. We started out as a small take-out place that soon became well-known for having the best Italian food around! After years of hard work and a clear vision for the future, we have since become a famous Boston landmark with visitors from all over the world!

Jim’s grandmother, Nonni, was a major inspiration for our restaurant and that is why her picture is featured on our website. We are happy to continue the tradition of bringing families together to enjoy a homemade meal at an affordable price.

All of our food is made-to-order with the freshest ingredients available; including our famous pizzas, sauté pasta dinners, house specialty dinners, hot/cold subs, soups, salads, and appetizers. We developed our “authentic Italian style pizza” after traveling around Italy and researched pizza making from Tuscany to Sicily!  

Our customers truly love our food and friendly atmosphere (checkout the Reviews section on our website). Food portions are generous and the value can’t be beat! You will feel like family after your first visit. Come be a part of our family today!

You can enjoy our food by Eat-in, Take-out, Delivery, or Catering. We encourage you to become a fan of our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter for special discounts and various promotions. See you soon. Grazie!  –  Jim and Jonathan
