The Hungry I

Nestled on historic Beacon Hill, The Hungry I has often been called the most romantic restaurant in the city. With its French-influenced menu (changed seasonally by chef/owner Peter Ballarin) as well as its cozy, candlelit interior, three working fireplaces and lush outdoor patio for fair weather days, it is easy to see why.

The menu is small but varied, offering a mix of local ingredients flavored with various ethnic accents. Hungry I's most popular entree has to be the venison au poivre noir. Succulent slices of meat are coated in black pepper and served with a read wine reduction sauce enriched with sour cream. On the other hand our pistachio coated scallops in a vermouth citrus butter may well swoon you in our al fresco patio.

Chef/Owner Peter is a Seventh generation baker which gives the restaurants breads and pastries a unique flair, particularly the restaurants infamous walnut pie!

The Hungry I also hosts small weddings, parties, or private affairs for 12-30 guests.
