Definitely a great atmosphere. Don’t go here if you expect to not wait in line. Just expect a line, period. It’s an intimate setting, as in you’re close to everyone else, but in a good way! We ended up sitting family style with 2 other families and had the best time talking and meeting new people. Good food, new friends, and excellent experience.

What a lovely spot! We tried the calamari meatballs to share for the table. It was good, but not great. Was interesting to try for the first time but next time I’ll definitely try fried calamari.
We ordered the aglio olio, puttanesca, and the Alfredo. We added on the shrimp/scallops/calamari to some of the pans. My favorite was the scallops! The best pasta was the aglio although the puttanesca and Alfredo were great as well.
I would definitely come here again. It’s so fun being in the kitchen and seeing them make the food right there.
The service was friendly, and staff were helpful. Only negative is the bathroom is kinda messy, but for a small shop it is expected.

A very small place with only about 4 + 6 + 8 + 2 + 2 seating available. It’s a cash only place and no reservations. The service is ok. Food is great. I will recommend to try the Lobster Fra Diavolo. The portion is big enough to serve two persons. Be ready to get your hand dirty tho for the lobster. We also had the calamari platter and the black pasta with Alfredo sauce. Both of them taste good but not impressed.

It is horrible! The foods make me vomit! I will never ever go there again!!!
What the hell! It’s so disgusting that it’s hard to swallow! It tastes terrible! ! !
We come on Friday at around 10:50. There is no one in line. The restaurant is small and can sit about 20 people. We finish our meal at around 12:10 and the restaurant is full at that time. We order two pastas and one starter. They all taste really good.
The calamari is lightly breaded and crispy. The calamari itself is fresh and the batter has some spicy so the crispy layer also has some flavor!
Aglio olio - black pasta: At my first glance, the pasta is not that appealing comparing to others with a lot of seafood. The first bite of the pasta is not that surprising. However, after taking a few more bites, I gradually know why this pasta is so popular. The olive oil has a rich flavor of garlic, calamari and anchovy. The black pasta is well-cooked so it is still chewy. After finishing the pasta, we use the bread to mop the pan so that the bread is soaked with the olive oil and the minced garlic and calamari. We even asked for extra bread.
Frutti di mare: This dish is cooked with 5 kinds of seafood (calamari, clam, mussel, scallop and shrimp). If you want to try out all the seafood on the menu, but do not want to order the lobster FRA Diavolo, this is the dish to go. We choose the red sauce, which is tomato based. The linguine is thinner than the black pasta and the sauce has the strong seafood flavor in it. We not only soak the bread in the sauce, but also ask for a spoon to drink the sauce. The sauce is not heavy and tastes like a tomato soup with rich seafood flavor.
In addition, the service is good and we got a clean plate for every dish so that the flavors are not mixed together. Overall, I would recommend to my friend and would like to come again in the future. Also, this restaurant is cash only.

Lovely CASH only hole in the wall seafood place best known for black squid pasta and fried fish dishes. I first learned about Daily Catch at its Brookline location. Unlike that location this one is open for lunch. It is tiny first come first serve so either plan to stand in line or be there at the opening.
Great service and honest people too. The last time I visited I forgot a backpack with a laptop and iPad. When I returned hours earlier the waiter recognized me and handed the backpack back.

We visited on long weekend, had to wait 2+ hrs to get a seat for 2. No reservations. However, it’s the best food I’ve ever had. There is just something special about this place, something magical. Recommended to bring your own stool, for waiting outside.

Pasta is to die for! One of the best I’ve ever had. We loved it that much we went back twice in 2 days.
Only downside, and it’s that good It can be really busy to get in- they don’t take bookings and you have to queue - lunch time during the week we walked straight in!
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Cash only No bookings you have to queue (I’ve heard up to 2 hours on an evening) And they only use plastic cups - which is a bit weird to drink your wine out of
Definitely not worth the wait
