31 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Natick

“the macarons are delicious“

“Without any doubt, 5 out of 5 stars ?!

I recently had one of the most, if not the most, delicious pizzas in my life at Pizza By Rocco in Natick, Mass. Even though it may be considered a hidden gem, I doubt it will be considered a hidden gem for much longer as more and more people hear about it and try the food out for themselves!

Each time I have introduced a friend to Rocco's, every single one of them has said that this is some of the best pizza they've ever had.

The crust has that sweet thin crispy taste, and is cooked to perfection. The sauce always has just the right amount and also has a great taste. The toppings are always fresh, more than generous with the amount given, and expertly balanced. In fact, the pizzas and all of the food items in general are more than generous in terms of how much you're getting. In terms of ambiance, although the store is small it still has an inviting and cozy feel to it, and offers some seating outside. Last but certainly not least, the service is no doubt top shelf service. Everyone here is very friendly, attentive, and lightning-fast with their food preparation. Carol, who takes the orders, legitimately sets the very warm and welcoming tone right away with her effortless affability and enthusiastic aura and smile. Red, the pizza/food maker, is a master at his craft and is very personable too. As one can tell simply by the quality of the food, it is clear to see that Red takes his work seriously and is proficient at his job. All of the people who prepare the food here put their strongest efforts into the process; this is food that is made from a place of sincere love!

Rocco himself is at the shop quite often and he goes above and beyond with regards to looking out for his customers. This aspect was something that truly stood out to me about this place and sets Pizza By Rocco above all the rest for me personally. For example, Rocco is very genuine, and is an incredibly generous person and that generosity spills over into his work. His genuine personality is noticeable right away when you meet him. If a customer has any issue with anything, he makes sure to do whatever it takes to ensure said customer is taken care of and leaves the shop happy and satisfied. Not every store owner makes it a point to do things like that. It just goes to show that Rocco and his fellow workers really care about their customers, which is probably why the store has so many repeat and loyal customers.

The menu has your usual favorites/go-to items, but also has some fun and creative specialty options as well. The Buffalo Chicken thin crust pizza is extremely popular and a must try favorite! One of the specialty options that made a great impression on me was the "Typical Johnny," which can best be described as literally a "Big Mac" on a pizza. The only difference is that the Typical Johnny is even better and tastier than an actual Big Mac!

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend Pizza by Rocco for all the pizza lovers out there, and for those who like to support local businesses. I had such a great experience there that I have been back a bunch of times since my first visit. If you come here to try it out, I can guarantee you that you will be coming back for more. It is just *that* good!

Thank you very much Pizza By Rocco for providing me with such a wonderful and extraordinary experience each time I come to your shop! This place is easily one of my favorite places to go. There really is no better pizza around. Keep up the incredible work guys!

“Excellent food!! love the amazing menu options. Taking hot dogs to a much higher level! Definitely a must try! Ask for green mayo too!“

“A stylish and modern setting ideal for both studying and meetings, with excellent coffee offerings.“

“For the rating I had went here with my nephew. I wanted to try a new and different spot. We went I was friendly and pleasant greeting by Victoria. I liked it how they had the display of empanada labeled and descriptive. The ones I tried were the Fatay ground beef and Beef Tango. I got to say they were really good. This place I definitely go back to try different ones.“

“Great hotdogs and great service. They care about the community as well.“

“7th Wave is a great local brewery that has a good range of brews on hand. However, they also have some of the best pizza in the entire area. Great Neapolitan-style pizza, seriously. Been a fan for years and the beers have only improved.“

“Great tasting food and customer service is amazing. New ownership!!! Tried a bunch of apps and food. Fried gyozas were super crispy as well as the wings! nice noodle soups and I love the curry. I will have to be back to try more of the menu. Milk tea and Boba available as well as my always favorite Thai ice tea!“

“Pizza is too salty. Most of the ingredients contain lots of sodium so try to cut down on the added salt“

“It's the Simply Things.... After a stressful day at work or it's mid-week and you're looking for just something to get you through... drop by Flora's Wine Bar. This is my go to place for great drinks and food. James and Corey will surely make you feel at home.“

“This is going to be a long one but the short of it? This place is a must-try! I visited with a group in the evening. The drink menu offers all the classic boba flavors you'd expect, along with some unique twists like a soda lemonade drink that was super refreshing on a hot day. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, with plenty of seating, including cozy spots in the back if you want to get some work done as WiFi is available.
We weren’t planning to eat, but ended up ordering the popcorn chicken. It was the perfect snack. Later, we ordered their chicken teriyaki. The food is freshly made by the owner’s mother, which makes the whole experience feel extra special and fresh.
Beyond the food and drinks, this shop is full of surprises: handmade teas, press-on nails, and original artwork created by the owner, who is an incredible artist. You can purchase prints or postcards of their work, which adds such a personal and creative touch to the space. This is a family-owned gem with heart, flavor, and creativity. I already can’t wait to go back!“

“Very good and really tasty. if there is a line . its worth waiting don't leave.“

“Good food! Good vibes! Good people! I would give this establishment 10 stars if I could! I’d like to take a special moment to appreciate the customer service! Sebastian is such a great guy! He’s an expert in smoothie making! The smoothies are marvelous! ✨“

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!“

“This was a chill brewery. They had a large open area near the brewing equipment which was cool and industrial, but also a smaller inside section which was nice if you wanted a quieter area. Plenty of IPAs on tap but they also had some stouts and a few lagers (which I was excited about). They had a flight option and 4oz sample options which was convenient. Bartender/servers were very nice and knowledgeable. Cool merchandise too, I got a new sweatshirt.“

“Everything Is So Great Here. The Hot Sausage Brings Me Back To When I Was A Kid. They Are Fantastic!!“

“This family-owned bakery and donut shop offers a warm, inviting atmosphere and is nut-free for peace of mind. They handcraft all of their baked goods, including custom specialty cakes (with advanced orders). The moment you walk in, you'll feel right at home. Their donuts are so delicious you'll find yourself craving more, and the coffee is top-notch, brewed with great quality beans. The menu features a variety of donuts, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches—all at affordable prices. In addition, they create custom cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for any occasion. This bakery truly goes above and beyond to deliver excellent quality and service to their customers.“

“Always tasty food and always something new (and intriguing!) on the menu.“

“interesting lil spot across from mass bay framingham campus... odd positioning at the entrance of a condominium complex.
Very open and bright atmosphere with a large surround of window panes , appetizers we had at the bar were all tasty and well prepared with average industry portion size. Company lunch so I didn't pay therefore I can't speak to the value.“

“Taco 🌮 Pastor, grilled habanero salsa and a Modelo draft 🍻 for lunch.“

“My husband and I went to Sobre Mesa last night, it had been recommended to us. We dined at the large U shaped bar. The atmosphere was lovely and customers appeared happy, as did the staff. I want to shout out Shannon, our bartender. Shannon welcomed us with her huge smile and positive energy. She really knew her way around the bar & talked to us about the menu. The margaritas had fresh lime juice and were so refreshing. We started with chips & salsa and guacamole, delicious. For dinner we ordered the fajitas with chicken, it was dynamite. We will definitely return!“

“Walkability: Many miles of walking trails throughout the property. They are easy-walk-not much up & down hill, but, still beautiful!
Most trails are lumpy with tree roots, so wear supportive shoes. I wouldn't take a residental-type wheel chair on the trails I walked, but an off-road one, with big tires would probably be fine.“

“Coffee, deli, & ice cream are all amazing!! Highly recommended!!“

“Very very cool 😎. 😎. 😎 😎“

“Inviting and comfortable atmosphere with ample seating in 2 adjoining rooms! Many regulars. Simple breakfast menu but unique offerings. Waltham fog tea was delicious! Lunch begins at 11 am. Nice view of lush Waltham common. A little pricey.“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!“

“As a Waltham local, this is my favorite bubble tea shop in town. My go-to drinks are the Wintermelon Milk Tea with Herbal Jelly and the Coco Cream WOW Milk Cap. I tried their Almond and Taro Milk Teas, but they tasted too powdery for my liking. They have a BOGO deal on Wednesdays which makes coming here even sweeter!“

“Tried Pizza Mine for the first time at a local gathering. Phenomenal pizza! Worth a trip back to Ashland 🍕“

“I was lucky enough to try their take out on American New Years. Their fried chicken, Char Sui pork, fried pork dumplings, scallion pancake, and fried rice are served hot and are very tasty...fresh ingredients, well prepared. The beef skewers were very tasty. The exterior of their restaurant is painted a cheerful Rose Madder pink. They have wooden Chop sticks and sides of " plum sauce " or, as its also known as , " Duck sauce." I hope to return there soon. This is a popular Waltham Spot. I'm pretty sure ine can order online as well and through Uber, Grub Hub, and Door Dash.“

“Coffee, deli, & ice cream are all amazing!! Highly recommended!!“

“I love the vibe here. It was our first time and the music was lively. The seats are beautiful and comfortable. Parking was big and we'll lit. Bathrooms were beautiful and clean. Our server was very nice and accommodating. I will definitely go back.

Wheelchair accessibility: I loved how wide area where for a wheelchair and the handicapped stall and sink where perfect for your wheelchair.“
