The Boston Globe launched Project Takeout, encouraging you to get food to go that you can afford from local, independent restaurants. Takeout doesnât just support these small businesses, it supports those they employ. Pre-pandemic, 1 in 10 Massachusetts jobs was located within the four walls of a restaurant.
So where are you getting takeout from tonight? To help you decide, weâve created an Ultimate Takeout Guide, with 100 recommendations divided among four geographic regions. Below, youâll find 11 of our favorites from west of the city.

Restaurants have been trying everything they can think of to stay afloat throughout the pandemic. One of the latest ideas arrives fresh from the farm.
Chef Ana Sortun, of Oleana, Sofra, and Sarma, believes so deeply in serving local, seasonal produce that she fell in love with the farmer growing her vegetables. Her husband, Chris Kurth, owns Sudburyâs Siena Farms, named for their daughter. The farm is known for glorious sunflowers, a vibrant presence at local farmersâ markets, and CSA shares stocked with high-quality produce.
