One of the best parts about traveling to a foreign country is trying the local cuisine. But when you don’t have the time or money to escape the Bay State, well, there’s an alternative that will make you feel as though you’re somewhere else. There are hundreds upon hundreds of international restaurants in the state, and for that we are lucky. And Doña Habana is a Cuban restaurant in Massachusetts that will transport you to Old Havana the moment you walk through its doors.
Named after a mythical character from Cuban culture, Doña Habana aims to celebrate the food, culture, and history of Cuba. Owners Hector and Nivia Pina first opened the restaurant in 2016.
