Rosalina’s Kitchen on Hamilton Street has as many quiet corners for private conversations as it does long open tables for gregarious groups. The wait staff is frank and fearless, so you might as well tell them exactly what you’re looking for in your experience because they will do their best to deliver.

Accommodations are modest, marked by banquet chairs and plastic picnic table cloths. Wood molding spans the perimeter and two different styles of tile flooring converge in the center of the dining room. None of this will matter when you taste the ravioli. Rosalina’s handmade raviolis ($18) are the great equalizer here, stretched tenderly around a ricotta filling delicious enough to be its own dish.
