Throw a rock in the North End and you’ll hit a restaurant serving that most American of Italian-American dishes, spaghetti and meatballs. But at Anthony Caturano’s elegant Italian restaurant and wood-fired chophouse, rustic meatballs made with pork, veal and beef are served as an appetizer and in a big secondo of ribs and sausage in tomato sauce over soft polenta. Fuhgeddabout the Jersey Shore Italian-American imitators: Prezza does the real Abruzzese peasant-food deal, presented with uncommon refinement.
