Kudos to the fine folks at The Chateau, helped create an amazing afternoon and memory for our group. 10/10 would recommend, the chicken parm is elite.“

“3 Restaurant is my new favorite brunch spot. Kerry-Lynn and her trainee did a fabulous job waiting on us this past Sunday. The attention to detail and attentiveness didn't go unnoticed. I was a huge fan of the Pickle Bloody Mary. Everything from the Buffalo Cauliflower to the two brunch entrees we're delicious and seasoned to perfection. I'm glad we took the half-hour jaunt to try this place out. Look forward to visiting again for brunch and try dinner!“

“Been dining at Luciano’s in Wrentham for years However on mothersday I was shocked to get a bill of $300 plus dollars for 2 adults and two children. Ordered the veal special and got the special price $89.00 Swordfish on a bed of spinach for $52 another special price Front desk was very rude which was never like that. They have become over priced and not customer friendly. We will not return“

“We are “regulars” at the 89 which means we dine there at least once or twice a week! The food, the severs, the bartenders and the owners are all amazing!! They know “who gets” without asking. They space out courses perfectly, yet they are there when you need them. They never make you feel rushed but check periodically to see if you need anything! We have never had a disappointing meal and we have tried most everything on the menu as well as the weekly specials! From the house made soups to the fresh pastas, entrees and amazing desserts you cannot go wrong. If you haven’t been there and are looking for an outstanding dining experience try 89!! It won’t disappoint!“

“One of the few places in the area where I can eat my favorites Italian dishes that taste like in my hometown in northern Italy. And great staff!“

“We are regular visitors to Café Assisi, because every visit is excellent, in every way. The food is delicious - tonight we had chicken sorrentino and a shrimp special and enjoyed every bite. Our cocktails were perfect too, and one of our favorite servers, Sylvia, knew just what we would want before we even ordered. It’s nice to visit a restaurant where the quality and service are both above and beyond, every time. Yum.“

“The frozen meatballs were reheated to perfection, finally some authentic Italian in Wrentham 🥰“

“I love Pat’s so much! I’ve enjoyed their Johnston location for decades and it’s great that there’s a now closer location. You can’t go wrong with any dish but my goodness their radiatori pasta and pink sauce is to die for. And their chicken noodle soup is simply perfection.“

“Such an amazing restaurant. My mother in law passed away two weeks ago. The owner of Primavera, Sergio, came to her funeral to pay his respects, left a mass card, and sent us trays of food the next day that fed an army. Just amazing. This is the type of business that should be supported in a community. And their food is top notch!“

“Just did a wedding celebration there on Oct 5th, 2025. Have to make some comments. Facility was Immaculate. Staff was more 6 star than 5. Food was great, but since I was working the stage as DJ, I had mine to go. Packaged well. Large dance floor, and acoustics of the room worked very well. When you perform all over New England, you have to tell it like it is.“

“AMAZING FOOD! And great staff!“

“Medway famous is the absolute best pizza house here in Medway for classic, family owned, quality pizza and food! There are not enough words to express how lovely the woman at the counter and her husband are! They are so accommodating, and sweet. We order pizza in larger quantities at a time for our shop. and they always have it ready right on time!. They take the best care of us and their food is fresh and good quality!!! They go out of their way to ensure everything you ask them for is there in the order. Extra sauces, napkins, drinks It is always spot on! They never disappoint. The pizza, pasta, subs are delicious! We, the Sullivan Tire crew, love Medway Famous and are so grateful they're practically our neighbor so we can enjoy the food often. Thank you for doing an outstanding job, consistently, and for being so accommodating! Mostly, thank you for making every experience a very pleasant one! Check them out, you will not be disappointed!“

“Cheers! I haven't been to Bertucci's in a while. We received a coupon in the mail and decided to try it out. We had eggplant parm and chicken parm. It was very good. Not only was the food great, but Marty, the manager, was very helpful with our order. Everyone was friendly. And the service was excellent.“

“Quaint little place that feels authentic and coupled with fantastic service. The owner who works the bakery is very sweet and accommodates your requests. Bakery items are so tasty and you will come back for more. The display of flatbreads are extraordinary as they are lined up for your viewing. A must for breads and tasty treats. The custard filled bombolone is the best (and my favorite).“

“Wheeeeere to begin! A cute little establishment in a little plaza. Upon entering the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The menu is bright and bold so there is not trouble reading it. Came in with my husband before we got ice cream to grab some buffalo wings. Sooooooooo glad I did! Them suckers were so dang good make you wanna smack ya mama! I’m known for my reviews taking a bite and this one won’t be different. We drove 45 minutes for some ice cream and ended up finding a little piece of BUFFALO HEAVEN“

“This has been the go-to place for my family to order out for years! We don’t order as often as we used to but still prefer Park Ave over the other pizza places in the City! We ordered late last night and ended up getting a free pizza! Although it my not seem like a lot, that free pizza was a tremendous surprise! Beyond happy to know Park Ave values and appreciates their customers!“

“We went with friends to listen to Daniel Chauvin play his music and say farewell to a couple who are moving away. The music was awesome, the food was very good, but it was a bit noisy as the lounge area was very busy. My husband had the seafood bomb, which he said was excellent. I had fish and chips, which was very good.“

“My son and I stopped here after his game. We only came chose this one, as it looked empty and tge plan was to get going as quickly as possible. Did we make the right decision. This was the beat pizza we had since moving ro MA 4 years ago. The crust was thin and crispy. The sauce was just sweet enough, and the cheese was perfect!
Our only issue, us that this is 25 mins from our house. We will now have to drive 5 towns away to get the best pizza in MA. But is it worth it? YES!!!“

“I want to take a moment to recognize the exceptional service we received from Jack, our server at Olive Garden. From the moment we were seated, Jack was attentive, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. He took the time to make sure our meals were exactly how we wanted them. I ordered the chicken broccoli Alfredo with rigatoni, and my girlfriend had the chicken Alfredo without broccoli. Both were perfect, and his recommendations were spot on.

Jack maintained a positive attitude throughout our meal, kept our drinks full, and checked in at just the right times without being intrusive. He even suggested dessert, but we were too full to take him up on it. Still, the gesture showed he was invested in making our experience complete.

Overall, Jack made what could have been an ordinary dinner feel personal and enjoyable. He represents exactly what good hospitality should look like. He absolutely deserves recognition for the way he carries himself and the level of service he provides. Jack has real potential in this industry, and Olive Garden is lucky to have him on the team. We’ll definitely be returning and asking for him again.“

“Amazing drinks & great service“

“Wonderful pizza and quality staff. Thank you for the service and quality.

I normally like to visit 3 times before placing a review. Today, I will start based on 2 visits. I will continue to explain below....

After spending so long in New York, I realized I've become a little pizza snobby. But, I always try to be fair and not just compare.

Both visits had consistent results. Pizza cooked to perfection. It's not dry and not too greasy. It's a greek style shallow pan pizza from this location. Perfect amount of cheese browned properly and cut, so it was easy to serve. Took the photo fresh out to the car. :)

I have also had their french fries, greek salad, and baklava. They made sure all the food was fresh and delicious. Thank you again.

Ps it was wonderful to arrive in this small town pizza shop and be called by first name on our second visit. Well done.

We will be back and adding more photos for you all to enjoy. Come check them out if you have time l. They also offer local in-house delivery for $3! ?:) see you soon!“

Their subs are amazing. Their pizza is amazing. Highly recommend PS you have to try the onion rings with the dip sauce!!!“

“Ordered takeout Friday night for the family. Bianca pizza and a ceasar salad. Young kids and adults all agreed that the one pizza was great (miracle we all agreed on one) and the ceasar was a classic that hit the spot. Added a couple of Whoopie pies (only $2!) for dessert. Delivery was on time, driver was cool. All around great experience. We will continue to order our family pizza night pizza from here - bonus points because I can order off Local by Toast app to rack up points.“

“I have never had a bad meal here. I love the steak tips and eggplant parm subs but tonight I had the best pizza of my life their Chicken Parm with ricotta pizza. It was so cheesy perfect amount of sauce and was cooked to perfection with a crust that didn't feel soggy or fall apart.“

“River Falls family restaurant is a compliment to the city. The outstanding menu is only surpassed by the atmosphere and caring wait staff. The kitchens chef have created meals fit for royalty and as a weekly returning diner the meal is always more than satisfying. The owners mingle with the patrons to get the true reaction to the effort given by their entire team. From the hostess to the busboy and everyone else in between We Thank You.“
