Restaurants near Newton Centre

“I tried this place yesterday for the first time and I am so impressed! So far I’ve had the tabbouleh, the Israeli salad, baked fish with veggies, challah and chocolate babka and they were all so, go good! I still have frozen soups and a mushroom pot pie to try and can’t wait to eat my way through them this week for lunch. The fish was so good I can hardly believe it was frozen. My daughter kept asking for bites so I will be sure to buy multiple next time. I’ve been meaning to try this place and wish I’d gotten here sooner. They are gluten and dairy free and mostly meat free as well. A lot of their ingredients are organic and they use quality oil. They were telling me while I was there that they grind some of their flours in house. You can taste the quality! It’s so nice to have a safe, healthy and DELICIOUS option for take out! This place is worth the trip and I will absolutely be back. 😊”

“We had a great meal at Stella. It has such a warm and homey vibe when you enter, with delicious food. All the pastas are exceptional; simple but really high quality. The menu is a little small but all the items were executed really well. The only point of criticism is that the meatballs were a bit too bready in texture. This definitely seems to be a restaurant that is frequented by locals, and overall we would come back!”

“I absolutely adore this family owned spot. Prices are amazing and the food is wonderful. The staff are SO nice.The coffee cubes and the gourmet hot dogs are the BEST!”

“We ordered a vegan half sheet almond cake from Luna’s—it was TERRIFIC. It joined several other cakes at a family gathering, and everyone loved it.

I found it easy to communicate with the bakery manager, and that she had some terrific ideas for flavors. I would absolutely order from them again. Pickup was super easy, too!”

“The absolute best breakfast/lunch spot in Newton!”

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was fantastic — pure nostalgia on a plate. Everything tasted homemade, beautifully presented, and just felt right. And our server Igor? A total superstar. Friendly, funny, and on top of everything — he made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend. Come hungry, leave happy!”

“Walked in at 7:30 PM and was immediately met with a very Welcoming smile from Christina, Part of the mother son duo that own an operate this five month old location..

I mentioned it was my first time ever visiting and was immediately offered a Ban.. Just to try no obligation expected .. A pleasant surprise in today’s world.
They were delicious and obviously the homemade quality came through, this is not a frozen product that’s heated and served to you… Ended up ordering also the chicken dumplings pan fried and they did not disappoint..

If you’re in Newton you have to try
FORMOSA!!..
Ask for christina.. Her pleasant attitude alone will Be worth a visit”

“Love the food. Miso ramen broth was great. Music they played was very irritating. They played the cover version of pop songs. I wish they would just play the real version of the songs. It sounded like in those YouTube videos when they can’t play the real version because of copyright. Love the food though!”

“#SweetTomatoes 🍅 🍅 🍅 has been a favorite staple food in my family, and it is like #homesweethome!
I can always trust #SweetTomatoes to serve delicious and mouthwatering artisan pizza.
#SweetTomatoes scrumptious sauce perfectly complements their pizza toppings.
One of my favorites is mushroom, pepperoni, black olives, artichokes, and garlic pizza pie.
No one does pizza better!
Their service is efficient, and the atmosphere is a slice of Americana hometown neighborhood vibe.
#SweetTomatoes most definitely
epitomizes well-made and delectable pizza in #Boston.
#SweetTomatoes is my FAVORITE #pizza.
I highly recommend you make #SweetTomatoes your favorite pizza place, too!”

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!”

“Food and service are excellent!”

“We were visiting from the Midwest and stumbled across this wonderful restaurant. Amazing food blending delicious flavors! The chef/owner checked in with us multiple times. Hadn’t read her story until after we ate. So impressed and was happy to support her restaurant!”

“Only reason 4/5 for atmosphere is that they turned down the lights drastically at around 7 PM weekdays, it was too dark to see your meal properly.

However by then my meal was finished.
Ramen is delicious, I didnt ask for chili oil as broth was sufficient alone.

Ordered one sushi and it was one roll but loosely wrapped in seaweed.

Service is quick, I would be surprised if anything takes more than 10 mins.

If you with a group, get a table. Two or a pair can share side by side bar/top seating.”

“A group of us just went to Puritan for it's Clambake and we will definitely try to this again next summer. The quality of the food was exceptional and the cook on all the different seafood was perfect. It was such a fun experience and absolutely worth the money.”

“Very appealing menu; a rare one where I wanted almost everything on it. And the food did not disappoint — wonderful combinations, like the chicken liver on toasts topped with green tomato jam, and pillowy ricotta-stuffed agnolotti with corn and mushrooms. Everything was exceptional.”

“I like to go there with friends and family so we can try different dishes and everyone gets satisfied. love the place, great options. Always take a donut in the end.”

“fish amazing but also blown away by vegetable roll!”

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!”

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!”

“We took a friend out to dinner at Oleana last night for her birthday and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. We loved being able to share and sample so many dishes, and each one was a masterful balancing of herbs, spices and flavors. The service was also top-notch. We can’t wait to return! It’s no surprise that it’s hard to get a reservation.”

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.”
