About Peregrine Restaurant
PEREGRINE IS THE STORY OF TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION, AND THE COMFORT OF A SHARED MEAL ALONG THE WAY.
Mediterranean in nature, Peregrine is an exploration of the cuisine and culture from the Italian islands of Sardinia and Sicily — as well as the neighboring influences of Corsica and Catalonia. Named in part for the Peregrine falcon common to these places, the restaurant takes its cues from everything that bird might see throughout its journey. The name also means traveler, who we readily welcome to our corner of Boston's iconic Beacon Hill.
OUR CUISINE
Menus are designed to be enjoyed leisurely, in courses, with well selected wines to match. The flavors and techniques of the kitchen evoke the regional Italian specialties Peregrine is primarily influenced by, as well as the traditions of Corsica and Catalonia - influences applied to the seasonality and traditions of New England.
