We all know that Massachusetts has some amazing local family-run restaurants and eateries throughout the Bay State. And some of those local family-run spots serve some of the absolute best comfort food throughout the state. These local joints can sometimes be operating a little under-the-radar. While they may also be among the best hole-in-the-wall spots to hit up for a great meal, given the fact they're family-run, they may also fall into the "Mom and Pop" restaurant categories. And now we know what joint is the best Mom and Pop restaurant in all of Massachusetts.

For any family-run restaurant to have a great legacy, obviously it's been serving up some quality meals for quite some time. It seems that 'Love Food' has found America's best Mom and Pop restaurants in every state. The spot they happened to pick in the Bay State has also previously been recognized as being among the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Massachusetts.

What Massachusetts Spot is the Best Mom and Pop Restaurant in the State?

If you find yourself in Boston's North End, you may just pass by the best Mom and Pop restaurant in the Bay State at Theo's Cozy Corner.

There are plenty of great things social media had to say about Theo's Cozy Corner. Here's why 'Love Food' says it's the best Mom and Pop restaurant in Massachusetts.

A super-popular breakfast and lunch destination, this tiny spot in Boston's North End started out simply as Cozy Corner. Current owner Theo Cristo began working here as a dishwasher in 1989; he eventually ended up buying the restaurant and added his name. The joint serves up Italian and American classics, including pasta and sandwiches, while the house special is moqueca, a seafood stew from Cristo's native Brazil.

With plenty of online edification, it seems like this is the spot to head to for your next must-try breakfast joint. You had me sold at "breakfast".
