It’s the most flavorful time of the year again when we get to celebrate the glorious flavors of fall here in New England. Whether you start your morning off with a pumpkin iced macchiato from Dunkin Donuts or kick the weekend off right with a cold 20 Pounds of Pumpkin brew from Sam Adams, there are many ways to celebrate the best flavor of the season. Here, we have rounded up five of the best places to get a pumpkin flavored specialty.

It’s baaack!  The standout pumpkin ravioli dish at this lovely Beacon Hill haute spot is one of the most anticipated fall dishes among locals.

Creamy, pillowy pumpkin stuffed tortellini rings don’t get much better than when they are made fresh in the North End. Giacamo’s does this dish the best, tossing their soft handmade pasta with a decadently rich sage mascarpone cream sauce. Don’t be surprised when you finish every last bite.

Who said pumpkin has to be enjoyed only as a dish?  We love ours in a cocktail form and Sumaio Hunan Kitchen has just what we are looking for. Kendall Square’s newly opened haute spot features a  bourbon-based Fall-Filling cocktail (only available through the end of October) complete with pumpkin and apple flavors combined with ginger and a dash of sparkling brut.
