Restaurants in Needham

“Great place love the shakes”

“Way to go! Incredible Detroit Style Pizza for dinner tonight. Delicious and very different anything else in town. Great job!”

“We stopped for a quick bite and cocktail and can’t wait to go back. The menu is fun and doesn’t look/feel like an Irish pub but the menu reflect that it is and it’s upscale. We live 2.5 hours away but may have to visit for a day trip! I think you’ll do great and will be sought after for the vibe and decor too!”

“Great place for lunch, good pizza and subs/sandwiches.

Parking: Metered parking on the street, and paid parking behind (Needham Center MBTA commuter rail)”

“Great Food great people, Awesome time. We were there about 7:00 o'clock Thursday night, the place was Full. We went to the bar for a few drinks Waiting for a table. The bartenders were great, so we ended up staying at the bar. definitely recommend this place”

“Let me start out by saying BEST HONEYDEW MILK TEA EVER!! Seriously, I have tried A LOT of milk tea in my day and what I ordered from sweet boba was the best milk tea I’ve had hands down. I am so excited that Sweet Boba is here! The staff is so kind and it’s such a nice experience. I will definitely be going here a lot!”

“My family makes it there at least once a month. Best mussels on the planet. Bolognese, risotto, chicken parm, rosemary chicken, Lamb shank, something for everyone. Best friendliest staff ever. BYOB makes it even more fun. Daphne, Shannon, Joe, Angel, Dillon…all the bomb!”

“I have been coming to the Hearth for many years...the staff is friendly, the atmosphere relaxing and comforting, and the food and beverages are from local sources, well prepared, tasty and satisfying. The owners and management have also shown a dedication to supporting the arts by encouraging local musicians to play at the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Five of us had an excellent dinner with good service. Small to medium place, right in town.

We came on a weeknight and shared some appetizers. Salad, arancini, tomatoes and mozzarella, all excellent. I had the eggplant parmigiana which came with a side of pasta that tasted homemade. The sauce was very good, an important test for any Italian place.

Vegetarian options: Typical for an Italian restaurant. Pasta, eggplant, salads and veggies. Not a huge selection, but two of us were vegetarian and enjoyed our meals.”

“Good food great menu great service”

“We hosted a noontime bridal shower here for a group of about 22 people and it was the perfect place for such an event. Jose (the event manager) was so helpful and responsive from day one. He was patient and kind and understanding when we needed to make changes to everything from the menu to decor. I couldn't have asked for a better copilot. Fernando, the bartender, was super helpful, going above and beyond helping us with decor, clean up, etc., and pouring tasty mimosas. I didn't catch the chefs name but their food is ridiculously good! We had arancini to start, a little caprese salad, family style pesto and chicken parm and gelato to finish it off. From start to finish everyone loved the meal and service. If you're looking for either a meal out or to throw an event with authentic Italian cuisine, great wine and beautiful ambiance, this is your place. Thanks so much to the Spiga team for making the event run seamlessly!”

“Really great food, really nice employees and super fast. Highly recommended, I go here about once a week on my lunch break :)”

“Very nice place. Classy, clean and well done. There are sittings outside. I ordered Soup and chicken. I thought chicken had a bit strange after taste of cooking oil. I will try more dishes next time.”

“Awesome food and desserts.”

“So glad we found this spot!! Food is true farm to table, fresh and absolutely delicious. We had the crab cake, beet salad, halibut and fish tacos, everything was fantastic, even the coffee with dessert was a notch above the rest!! Service was friendly and attentive, we will be back to see Courtney!! Thank you for an outstanding meal, it was a perfect relaxing evening to end a long week.”

“This was my first time at this bakery and it will not be my last!! I have a nut allergy and they were super accommodating making my sandwich! It was delicious! Thank you!!”

“Excellent customer service and customization of my orders. what a perfectly unique way to send a message to your loved ones. Who doesn't LOVE cookies? Thank you!”

“I have spent time in France ?? I am very familiar with the croissants there and all the goodies I must say le petit Four is fantastic Valerie is an excellent baker I had her croissants ? today and a few other things and I was blown away simply the best you will not find another Croissant like Valerie’s i was taken back to France at that very moment as we say in French C’est L’originalSuperbe you want to experience the original please go to le petit four and see Valerie I guarantee you will come back for more.Thank you le petit four you are the best.”

“Frozen Custard!!!!! What more needs to be said?”

“The smell of fresh cookies will have your mouth watering as soon as you walk in. Huge selection of cookies and ice cream. The fresh ice cream sandwich is a must have.”

“The decorative work on these pastries is 5 star. I tried the gluten free hazelnut chocolate cookie and did not like it. It was overwhelmingly cinnamon-y and the texture was like an oatmeal bar rather than a soft cookie. I also didn’t enjoy the vegan oat bar, which tasted overwhelmingly of coconut oil.

I DID enjoy the rooibos tea, which was a French tea brand I had never heard of: mariage freres.

It was a lovely subtle flavor, and the tea bags looked unbleached (though I did not verify that).

I would love to come back and try some of the not vegan or gluten free items, as my bakery impression was that things look amazing but have one controlling taste, but I know there was far more here than I tried.

Wheelchair accessibility: Two doors that do require a bit of force but all flat.”

“My partner and I went in on a Sunday morning. The line was almost out the door, but the line went surprisingly quickly. They made a big effort to ensure there is as short of a wait as possible. I got the spinach bagel with the lox cream cheese. It was very delicious, and the spinach bagel tasted perfectly of spinach.”

“place has unique food, 1 of a kind pita bread and homemade wraps”

“Cannot recommend enough! Went in with a very specific request on a very short timeline and they over-delivered. Now, I don’t recommend being a pain like me and asking for them for things on short notice, but this situation really helped me understand more about their business and how they treat their customers. I am a new loyal customer and would encourage you to give them a try the next time you need cupcakes or cake pops.”

“Got a eggplant sub and it was out of this world good!!!! The bread was so delicious which really makes a huge difference in the taste. The eggplant was cooked perfectly perfect sliced and crispness! The sauce and cheese was good not over powering. Could use the cheese spread out some more would be my only suggestion. Would definitely go back and order the same and then try something different too!”

“Cute place with a good selection expected at a Sushi restaurant. Nice atmosphere, quick and friendly service. Plenty of parking around the restaurant as well

Vegetarian options: Vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu, and the menu has an okay amount of them to appease the vegans in your party.”

“Mostly a great experience! The wrap and muffin I had for lunch were delicious and the staff was very kind! I am a bit disappointed to later find out that the $12 bagels I bought from their grocery section are not actually gluten free as they are processed on shared equipment with wheat ?”

“If you love pizza as much as I do then you’re not gonna want to miss out on this place!! The menu is limited to pizza and sandwiches and that’s fine because the quality of the food is where it’s at!!”

“The Greek chicken wrap was amazing! Mainly takeout, small place with a few tables. Nice, clean pizza joint atmosphere, but much better food. A little pricey, but a good value, especially considering that it's in a pricey area.

Parking: Small, free parking lot.”

“Great food hot ad tasty mustard was righteous”

“Best Chinese food I’ve had. Been coming here for over 15 years and have always received excellent service. Employees are kind and accommodating, the atmosphere is modest but welcoming, and the food is delicious.”

“We have been getting take-out from Ray’s every week for the last 2 months.Come from Natick to Needham for their excellent food.In addition,whatever we order online or by phone is exactly what we receive;no surprises.Well worth the visit!”

“Good delicious food enjoyed”

“Our take out dinners tonight were SO good! The filet was absolutely delicious and the goyza was best I’ve had. Everything was cooked perfectly everything was packed so nicely and obviously tons of effort went into each detail. You guys did a fantastic job.”

“Good food but the Mediterranean grain bowl is not nearly as good as the lentil one with umami”

“The service here is usually excellent. The morning shift team working behind the counter are always polite and helpful. In particular a shot out to Oscar and Jhon for going extra mile! I come a few times a week and the salad/ grain bowl are always fresh”

“Lots of taco options. Give the carnitas a try, simply delicious!!”
