It’s the beginning of a new year, and the “best of” lists are still coming. On Tuesday, Yelp released its annual list of the “Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S.,” a quirky roundup recognizing both fine-dining and ultra-casual eateries from across the country. Three Massachusetts restaurants were featured, including No. 49 Carmelina’s, a North End restaurant that has been serving Sicilian classics with a modern twist since 2012.
Carmelina’s was joined by Pruller Restaurant (No. 76), a Brazilian restaurant in Marlborough, and JJ’s Caffe (No. 78), a cozy breakfast and lunch spot in Brockton. New England was also represented with the inclusion of fast casual Hometown Cafe & Poké Bar (No. 40) in Providence, R.I., and Otaru Sushi Bar (No. 81) in New Haven, Conn.
