  • Al Fresco Dining in Boston's Suburbs
    Al fresco dining in Boston’s suburbs By Kathy Shiels Tully JOHN BLANDING/GLOBE STAFF Diners inside Rosaria Steakhouse in Saugus look out at the patio and rock garden. Alleys. Sidewalks. Parking lots. Hectic intersections and interstate highways. And don’t forget “parklets.” Al fresco dining spots are popping up all over, and most of them can’t boast scenic waterfront or mountaintop views. Instead, they’re being incorporated into new restaurants or added to venerable establishments, amid some of Greater Boston’s least-scenic venues. Photos: Al fresco dining BARRY CHIN/GLOBE STAFF Mia Regazza waitress Dawn Kelly serves the Corcoran Family from Whitman on the restaurant's outdoor dining area. BARRY CHIN/GLOBE STAFF At Mia Regazza, a white Chestnut Hill-style fence encloses an outdoor patio next to a parking lot. JONATHAN WIGGS/GLOBE STAFF The patio at Spiga Ristorante in Needham has potted flowers, herbs, and bushes to block the view of the parking lot.
