“We made a last minute attempt to get a table and were told on the phone that they would do the best to accommodate us at 830 which they did. We were lucky to get the only available table at the time. The food and service were outstanding. We shared an argula salad which was enough for 2. The linguine seafood scampi had lots of seafood and sauce was light and flavorful. My husband liked the spiciness of his fra diavlo pasta. This was our first time there and now know to reserve ahead! We'll be back.”

“Lovely atmosphere; we were there after dark, nice dim lighting. Food delicious (chicken piccata, seafood linguini, veal parm, lobster ravioli). The ravioli was one of my best meals during our few days. The noodles that came with veal/chicken were weird & too dense/gummy. A veggie would’ve been better. Quite pricey as everything in North End. Have to be in that vaca spending mindset.”

Brassica Kitchen + Cafe 3710 Washington St, Jamaica Plain Cafe • $$
3710 Washington St, Jamaica Plain

“We stopped into the Brassica Kitchen and Cafe as a party of three on a Saturday evening in March. I read that this was a popular spot in the Jamaica Plains section of Boston and decided to book a reservation. I recommend booking early because this is a popular location.The restaurant is located on the street with street parking available. When we entered the restaurant, all of the tables were taken. However, we were seated quickly when the next table opened up. While we waited, we were greeted by the bartender who recommended a drink of the menu based on our taste.Once seated, we reviewed the menu, which included many unique items you won't find at traditional restaurants. There is an option on the menu to try most of the dishes that they call "The Ride" which consists of many small plates. Two of us ordered "The Ride" and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. Our waiter brought a small dish every few minutes and explained what was on each dish. Everything was very unique and delicious. We also ordered the fried chicken, which was very good.The service during our meal was great. During our dining experience, the bartender came over to our table to bring us another drink order and had a drink with us. The only issue we had was the donut (part of "The Ride") at the end never came out. They ended up getting us the donut to go and added a piece of flan in the bag.Overall, we really enjoyed our dining experience, and all of the the food and drinks were top quality. I highly recommend stopping into Brassica Kitchen and Cafe if you are in the Boston area and want to try something unique.”

“Definitely in the vicinity of 1 Michelin star. The service and atmosphere are relaxed and attentive, but not stuffy. The food is very good, with a few standouts: the snapper appetizer, scallops main, and desserts were excellent. The pasta main was a disappointment: too al dente and spicy, and in general, we found most dishes to be on the spicy side. So, I would say 5/5 hospitality, 4/5 food. Dinner took about 2 - 2 1/2 hours, and they were happy to accommodate our needs on that. Service was very attentive but not particularly warm; no mention of the occasion we were celebrating or any special treats from the chef or anything like that. Overall, a great option for a special occasion.”

Mamma Maria 3 N Square, Boston Italian • $$$
3 N Square, Boston

“Right in the heart of the North End, Mamma Maria's is among one of the many fabulous Italian restaurants. We got there as soon as they opened but had a reservation. It filled out after about a half hour and had enough space in between tables. The menu was not too extensive but filled with home runs. We started with the carpaccio and it was our first time trying it. I liked the flavor but wished we got to try the burrata as well. The bread came with a pesto sauce that was an excellent snack while waiting for dinner. For our main dishes we got the Rabbit Pasta and the Pasta Con Sugo. Both hit the spot on a cold winter night; the staff came with pepper and cheese which I think is a nice touch. And for our anniversary they gave us some dessert I had never heard of. It was actually good and it rounded out a solid night. The service and staff was attentive and quick and we were filled up and satisfied in under and hour. Overall, it was solid Italian food and quality waiting staff but I feel there are better options for Italian in the North End”

I ordered the house-made tortellini with prosciutto and peas in a cream sauce and did not have to eat again for a day. Parking is hard as its in a residential neighborhood and they will NOT seat you until everyone in the party is there. There is NO room to wait inside, so plan accordingly. But...all that is a minor inconvenience to get authentic homemade italian food. Wine is very affordable and service is attentive. Just GO!”

“pros:- came in with no reservation! we stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting Boston for a conference. we didn't know this place was so popular until we saw the reviews saying some people had reserved months in advance. we were seated promptly and was told that they needed the table 1.5 hrs later, which was plenty for us.- the food was delicious! the food being served on pans were a cute touch, and the pasta was great also. we liked crazy Alfredo and wild mushroom penne.- the prices are not that bad either, the portions are large. the warm bread and olive oil was nothing special thoughcons:- it was super loud inside. it's hard to converse with one another.- space was super tight. it was hard to sit with your coats and bags because there was nowhere to put them- service was rushed, and I was told to leave before the 1.5 hrs mark. it was cold out and my ride wasn't available so I had to stand outside in the freezing cold.- there was a 3% kitchen appreciation fee added to the bill, in addition to the service tip. it's not a lot, but I didn't know any other restaurant doing this so it was a bit of a surprise for meoverall it was a good experience! I wouldn't wait months for a reservation but it was still a good trip nonetheless :)”

Everyone seemed to be having a good time, enjoying the light music and the buzz of conversation. The service was very attentive to our every need.For dinner, I ordered the saltimbocca, which was veal wrapped in prosciutto, served with maitake mushrooms and truffle whipped potatoes. It was cooked to perfection and super tender, but I couldn't help thinking that the portion could've been a bit more generous, given the price.My date went for the Mafaldine, a pasta dish with shiitake and oyster mushrooms, black truffle butter, and Parmigiano. She couldn't stop raving about how amazing the mushrooms were and how this dish easily became one of her favorites.No doubt, I'll be heading back to Sorellina for more. But next time, I'll be keeping a closer eye on portion sizes and the price tag.”

I would definitely recommend Angela’s Cafe to anyone looking for an amazing bite to eat for breakfast in East Boston! One piece of advice that I must share is to make sure to come early and prepare to wait to be seated, especially during weekends, holidays, etc. All of the locals (myself included) know how amazing the food is here, and the restaurant is on the smaller side, so there is frequently a line out the door for breakfast! It’s totally worth the wait though!”

Instead- it's like finding a small restaurant in Italy. It's quiet, but feels like home. The menu isn't large, but the food is always spot on. Whether it's appetizers, pasta, meat or fish--- always great. Last time I asked them to accommodate my restricted diet and Pino (the owner) served up an amazing meal! Maria was our waitress and she was great, and as an Italian born local, was able to give us some great details about the area and perspective as well.I highly recommend this place -- and can't wait to go back!!”

“Came as a group of nine on a Thursday evening with a reservation for 8:30pm. We sat at a long high-top table and ended up ordering as groups of four and five people to make splitting food easier.My group of four split a charcuterie board and two pizzas, the Salsiccia and Margherita. I personally don't eat a lot of cheese outside of pizza so I only ate the pizzas, meats, and the complimentary bread. I preferred the Margherita pizza, but both had great texture and flavors. We ended up getting a refill on our bread at some point as well.They have a large drink selection, and I opted for the Sippin' Easy non-alcoholic drink. It was super tasty and I would've happily ordered a second.Our server was friendly and patient as our group of nine was all over the place with deciding what we wanted.I personally wouldn't choose to come back just because I'm not a huge charcuterie person, but I'll say this is a good spot for hanging out with friends or family, or even for date night.”

Service was quick, parking is bare minimum behind the building close to 7 spots. Seating was very tight maybe 6 tables. If you wish to purchase a live lobster you can choose it out the tank.

“FRIDAY 3/8/24. The Manager Gene call me was very apologetic. Gave a refund for my orders. It’s a very popular seafood restaurant and unfortunately things happen. The big thing is they acknowledge the problem and took corrective action to make me a satisfied customer. OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!Friday 3/1/24 I drove 29 miles for 42 minutes to get Seafood from this restaurant. A few weeks ago I ordered 2 3lbs live lobsters, because I couldn’t get live Lobster that size at my local seafood stores. This time I wanted to try to fried seafood. I ordered the skipper’s platter (fish, shrimp & calamari). Also order a 3 pound live lobster. I wanted to substitute the calamari with scallops. Of course, I was informed that it be extra charge. That was not an issue for me. When I drove back home, realize that they upgraded the skipper’s platter to the captain’s platter (fish, shrimp, scallop’s & clam bellies). The shrimp was delicious. The fish was bland - no taste. The scallop’s was huge, but when I bit into one of them got a mouth full of sand. Try another one same results. My total bill was $142.49 tip included. I try calling on 3/2/24 (Saturday Morning) to speak with manager/supervisor no one was available. The service was excellent. Also the atmosphere was good. My server (Mike) was outstanding. Not Happy with my Meal!”

BTW it says they validate parking at sister restaurant form parking but did it right at the table. Walk from garage is a straight shot of maybe 5 blocks. All easy!”

“A chic vegan cafe experience in South Boston.Recently took a visit on a Sunday morning for breakfast. With bright decors and bar taking the center stage, the place exuded casual elegance, reminiscent of a chic wine bar.Along with the Namaste on Vacay Smoothie, I got the Strawberry Pistachio Hazelnut Croissant. Filled with strawberry jam and sprinkled with pistachios, the croissant was soft and indulgent. While it strayed from the traditional flaky and buttery texture I favor, it was still enjoyable.From their breakfast menu, I got the Seitan Wings and the Breakfast Sandwich 2.0. Glazed with a maple hot sauce, the wings were very tender, and its classic combination with the ranch dipping sauce was satisfying. The sandwich was a decent vegan take on the classic egg sandwich with a slight kick from the hot sauce. However, it felt a tad overpriced given the ingredients and portion size.Overall, a good spot for a casual yet elegant vegan cafe experience. Since they also serve dinner, I might come back to explore more of their offerings.Parking: Free street parking along West Broadway”
