Restaurants near Newton Centre

“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 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 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!”

“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!”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“I attended an event yesterday at this amazing Restaurant. The atmosphere is so inviting, the drinks were delicious. Food was absolutely scrumptious. And the staff all so kind and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!!”

“the oysters are out of sight! delicious bravo! bouillabaisse was amazing! I did like my server. I do suggest they get some sleep nobody was smiling.”

“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!”

“Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!”

“The food was fresh and fantastic! Service was excellent !”

“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.”

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

“A really good, quiet, and friendly environment. They all welcome you and say bye afterwards. Their sushi and ramen are really good and had a beautiful presentation. If you are looking for a quiet place where to read and eat this is your place but go between 4:45-5:30!”

“I hadn't been to Giulia since before COVID, mainly due to the extreme difficulty in getting a reservation during a desirable timeframe. Parking has become much more challenging in that interim. Still, enjoyed a great pasta dish and dessert with my out-of-town guest. Very generous wine pour as well.”

“classy drinks and awsome servers”

“Food and service are excellent!”

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.”

“The Time Out Market is absolutely amazing, with great food diversity from itallian food to new Zealand ice cream to Vietnamese dishes and more! The service was really good; you sit at long tables in the middle and they call for your food with those vibrating buzzers. The atmosphere is very lively and inviting. There's seating out front as well.”

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

“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.”

“Casual Italian place with fun vibes. Great for groups - plenty of shareables, charcuterie and cheese boards, pizzas. The dishes all had interesting herbs and textures. I would come back to try more of the menu.”

“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!”

“Three of us went to via cannuccia last night, Saturday at 7:30. My advice is if you want to feel welcomed, well fed, and cared for make a reservation. It will be a night you will not forget. My overall feeling as I left was how much better life would be if every place made people feel that they wanted us to feel welcome and cared for. Our waitress, Alona, was exceptional. Even after the bill was paid she was making us feel good. So, yes, go for the amazing food but go back for the whole experience. Thank you Via cannuccia for the evening.”

“I love everthing about this incredible gem in the heart of Newton Center.”

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

“We definitely had a great time at Little Sage, not only all the dishes/wine are solid but the service is superb. I recommend going earlier though. Our reservation was at 8:30 so quite a few popular dishes (octopus, gnocchi, shrimps) were all sold out. But whatever we ordered, they were really tasty and filling! I couldn't digest all the food I consumed till the next morning.”

“Amazing place! Got the spicy tuna, spicy yellow tail, and the tuna hand rolls- spicy tuna was my fav the sweet potato was super good. the service was amazing! they refilled the water and changed out the napkins without you even needing to ask.”
