We loved our Pammy’s experience! Michelle C. was our server, and they provided the best service we’ve had in Boston/ Cambridge in YEARS. Their personality was contagious and they had amazing knowledge and recs about the food & bev. Overall we gave the food a 8/10. We fully committed and went with 4 pastas, a fish, and the pork for our 6 dishes. You MUST get the lasagna, it’s a masterpiece. Our other favorite dishes were the cavatelli & fluke. The ambiance was cozy but elevated yet very comfortable. The speed of the service was perfect, it’s refreshing to not feel rushed while going out around here. Those commenting on the price seem to not be familiar with area prices- we felt the value was great for the quality of dishes & experience.

Finally made it into this highly recommended restaurant—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I loved the decor and overall atmosphere, and the communal table concept was a fun touch. Our waitress was amazing—hilarious, outgoing, and such a great vibe. Standouts were the lobster bisque, pork Milanese, and the Peking duck. Portions are on the smaller side, so it’s a bit pricey for what you get, but overall a great experience.

Great atmosphere and food overall. Favorites were the lasagna and branzino, while the lumache and mafaldine were just ok. Portions are on the smaller side for the price.

This was one of if not the most disappointing restaurant meal of my life. We had a reservation but weren’t seated until 50+ minutes after our reservation time. Staff were largely inattentive during that time.
The menu didn’t include many of the items on each dish. This included several allergens for me but also shrimp, veal, etc - I wouldn’t feel comfortable eating here as a vegetarian let alone someone with food allergies.
The food was brought out fairly quickly, but the fluke was inedibly salty and several other items were disappointments.
They’d called about having a special birthday menu made. We never saw that.

Every level of our experience was top tier. Food and wine were excellent. Our server, Blake was fabulous and ensured we had a great time. The sommelier was knowledgeable and accommodating. Even the bathrooms were lovely. This place is going into the rotation for sure

Consistently the highest quality food, beat atmosphere and fantastic advice in Boston! Well done Blake. Thanks for the unparalleled service.

The food has such interesting cross cultural fusion of spice and sauce that it was very satisfying to taste. It was great that between the 2 of us we picked 6 different dishes to share and got try a good variety of food.
Norie
Every dish we ate was high-quality, with complex flavors and textures that offered delightful surprises. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was excellent. We truly loved this restaurant.

This is my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. Incredible food, service, and ambience. Also a great wine list
The lumache, lobster biscotto, and lasagna bianca was amazing. Very disappointed in the duck (chewy, skin was not well rendered, and the peppercorn crust was interesting but the peppercorns were not crushed up enough). Branzino and baccala were just fine. Very disappointed though considering how expensive the meal was. The gap between our meal and getting dessert was far too long - it took almost 10 minutes for our dessert order to be taken and then another 10 to get the dessert.

Our server made the most wonderful recommendations which I followed completely. The food was delicious as always - creative and perfectly prepared. The only one complaint is that it took a lot of time for the food to come out of the kitchen. Our salads came quickly but it felt like we waited a long time for the rest of our meal.

I am so happy we celebrated my birthday here! The restaurant used every opportunity to make it special. And, as always, the service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and unintrusive. The extensive menu makes it fun to choose 3 dishes/person, and the dining room is warm, festive, and simply beautiful!

We were fortunate enough to be seated at our own table. We're not fans of communal tables and the high top tables were minute for 2 diners. If we try it again we'd probably sit at the bar. Food was very good and creative. My Pekin Duck was comparable to the Duck breast served at Bistro du Midi (our favorite restaurant), however the requirements to order 3 items was just too much food.

The New Year's Eve dinner this year was disappointing. We have celebrated the new year there for the past four years. The pork Milanese and pasta in bolognese sauce were very mediocre. If the price of the dinner goes up, the quality of the selection served must improve as well.
