I was really disappointed to see that this place still serves foie gras. No matter how nicely the dish is presented, the production of foie gras is widely considered cruel and inhumane, and many restaurants and entire cities have stopped offering it for that reason. It honestly made me lose respect for the establishment. In a time when so many places are choosing more ethical and humane options, it feels careless and out of touch to keep this on the menu. I won’t be returning until they remove it.

Can’t recommend this place as they serve foie gras which is extremely unethical (and illegal in some states). It involves force feeding geese their entire lives until they die of over-eating, then they remove the fattened liver.
For this reason, this place has been at the center of protests recently (rightly so in my opinion). Please avoid giving these people your money and go somewhere that tries to make the world a better place.
Once they pledge to remove foie gras from their menu entirely I will update this review.

Expect tiny portion high-end to impress. Unexpected combinations, perfect balances. Must try the cocktails. Desserts that are completely worth it, too. Be aware of the shared table dining space, Automatic coat check.

We have always enjoyed Pammy's but last night we felt the meal fell short of expectations. The grilled oyster dish was good, but on the salty side. The signature lumache pasta was a little underdone and not as memorable as it was the first few times we had it. the peking duck was just ok. our friend who had the veal loin said it was very salty and my husband felt the same about the pork milanese. It was an okay experience but we were disappointed. our server was very good.

The chef and kitchen are talented; their spaghetti and lasagna are wonderful. I’m disappointed they continue to serve veal and foie gras, dishes which require exceptional cruelty to animals. Pammy’s could easily stand out without these dishes. I truly hope they reconsider these menu options so I can feel good enough to come back in the future.

Food is really interesting and delicious combos and the concept of pick any 3 is really unique and makes it fun. Best dishes were the spaghetti 2.3 and veal. Drink menu is extensive and cocktails were delicious and beautiful. Service was averagely good for a restaurant of this calibre. Really beautiful and lively interior.

Our server was very knowledgeable about food allergies, and expertly guided me through the menu.
This is a beautiful family-owned restaurant very friendly and happy environments I was there when the protest happens I felt like that was unnecessary I hope that the restaurant does not receive any damage or native outlets towards this because this is a beautiful family-owned restaurants and very friendly staff.. the fact that the protesters used warning sirens to get attention is ridiculous it has actually put a huge fear in my family I do not agree with that situation that they did I do not mind protesters but do not put fear in other people's hearts just to make a point... But other than that pammy's is amazing!!!

Went with the tasting menu (x2) - can't go wrong. Delicious food and fantastic service. Favorites were the lasagne bianche, pork Milanese, and the salmon crudo as an app. I want to try the remaining menu items, but would 100% go back for those. Also really enjoyed all the other dishes (tried 6 total). Lumache was also a fan favorite, but I preferred the lasagne — to each their own. I'd skip grilled oysters as a personal preference next time, but was still good. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Boston area!

Very odd experience here. First off waiter at beginning of meal mentioned he was “off today” and then he “forgot my drink order”. We did the pre fixe and got the wine pairing. When he brought the wine he delivered one glass of it - when asked where the other one was he said “you share the glass - most people who share plates don't mind sharing the wine also “ I told him that didn't make sense so he reluctantly brought another glass and poured half into it . I was more shocked than anything. Then he disappeared. Dinner took 4 hours - got there at 7 and left at 11. Although I like a coursed out meal , I was kinda over it by the 4th hour. Oh and dinner for 2 was over 400.00 with gratuity. I don't get this place at all. Was just weird.

Great service and delicious food!! The wine pairing is absolutely worth it, each dish comes with its own pairing and the sommelier is very knowledgeable. Portion sizes are generous, especially with the bread being offered so frequently to soak up sauces. Beautiful and cozy decor too!

Great dining experience. Everything was delicious. Everyone in our group was happy with their food.
