The food was phenomenal. The staff were exceptional. Lovely atmosphere. Overall a great experience.
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.
Our server was very knowledgeable about food allergies, and expertly guided me through the menu.
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!
PROS: Our favorite setting in Boston (great space), great bread, attentive personable servers, creative menu, superb tart dessert CONS: VERY loud & cramped; salt FAR too present in most dishes (high blood pressure people beware!) Overall a fun night, but they need to step it up to get to food level if places like Sarma or Field & Vibe, especially at these prices.
Amazing experience beginning to end! WOW for customer service and food. Never had better pasta!
The food was excellent - every morsel was downright delectable. The hosts, servers and other waitstaff were friendly and attentive. Yes it's a bit pricey, but the whole dining experience was well worth it.
There is a reason this place is full every night! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Food and drinks are outstanding & environment is so good - I will eat here every time I am in Boston!

Had a wonderful meal yet again with my daughter. I was visiting her in Boston from Los Angeles. The restaurant actually feels Californian - super friendly staff with a strong family vibe (esp given the big long family table which we love to sit at). We had the prefix tasting menu which we each got to pick three dishes. Food creatively prepared was delicious.
Oh my gosh! The mushroom lasagna is to die for!!! Love how you can order any three dishes off the menu be they two appetizers or two entrees and the lasagna of course.
Pammys was terrific! We had a beautiful booth which was warm and comfy. It is a loud restaurant but alive with people enjoying their dinner. It was a prefixed 3 course meal which did not include dessert. I would have liked 2 meals and dessert as an option but the food was unbelievable!
We had an amazing experience. It was top notch across the board - innovative cocktails, divine food, fabulous wine pairings, spectacular & personable service, and all in a great atmosphere. Thanks Pammy's!
Overall fabulous dinner experience. Everything from thee service, pace of meal and food couldn't have been better.
