da LaPosta 825 Washington Street, Newton Italian • $$

“Da LaPosta is an absolute must go to if you are someone who appreciates great Italian food and service! Mario is a top notch chef who pays homage to his Italian roots by sharing his family's cooking that he grew up on. Every single dish is so fresh and full of flavor. The fresh pasta dish we had was so light and delicate. The pizza with homemade dough was fabulous and flavorful. The eggplant parm app is so good and an absolute must have when you visit. The zucchini flower app with ricotta was so light and tasty. Mario and his team understand how food should be made using the freshest ingredients and keeping everything simple and full of flavor. The General Mngr and wait staff were so attentive, welcoming, and professional. They pay attention to the details, doing things like swapping out your silverware and flatware after each course, which just makes the overall dining experience so enjoyable. Skip the North End and go to Da LaPosta. You won't regret it.”

“1st time here. Have driven by hundreds of times......not sure what I was thinking....it took figuring out that you can't get Alaskan King crab legs at Legal Seafoods to force me to try this place out. Took an order to go. A+ yes messy....very messy the middle Hot sauce was excellent and everywhere. Good fun. Shared as an appetizer and we all agree Good stuff. They have "All you can Eat" on Sat and Sun I believe for $30 so a great deal. We will try again. Tiny place maybe 10-12 tables so use OpenTable. I tried Boston they did not have anything for 3-4 days at 7pm. Also had a Brookline reservation. There are ~24 locations in 8-10 states.”

“Something is SERIOUSLY wrong!!! 4.8 stars for Mike & Patty’s is a damn tragedy. Who do I need to speak to about this? 😂 10/10

I didn’t even know there was a category for World’s Best Breakfast Sandwich… apparently Mike & Patty’s created it.

First up: The Fancy. That perfectly runny little yolk made me stop what I was doing and PUT DOWN MY PHONE. I know… in this day and age, that’s basically a spiritual experience.

I ate the entire sandwich and then did the only responsible thing: ordered another one. Purely for quality control. I’m basically a food scientist. 😂

Just when I thought I’d reached peak breakfast, along comes the Bfast Grilled Crack. Now I’m sitting there geekin’ out over what can only be described as fresh, delicious breakfast art.

These guys dropped the mic, pulled out all the stops, put their best foot forward… hell, insert every cliché here because they earned all of them.

Damn, this place is LEGIT.

My bathroom scale and I will be discussing this decision privately. 😂”

“This is my third time going here and I'll tell you people it just gets better every time! I usually go there and get the tuna fish sandwich and the egg salad sandwich but today they didn't have the tuna fish so they made me a fresh egg salad sandwich. What a way to go. the beautiful lady that made my sandwich came from the back and gave me a beautiful smile and told me the days of her operation and for me to make a phone call before I come so they can have everything waiting for me. Maybe an African-American man that made me very happy and I felt like I was home! Sometimes when you go into places like this and they see a big black man, you usually don't get that great service or they don't talk to you like you're definitely a customer, you usually get that okay what the heck do you want type talk, lol. But way to go I'll definitely be back hugs and love to you guys text Nation point”

Dumpling House (Walnut St) 870 Walnut Street, Newton Chinese • $$

“Egg rolls were fresh, hot, and sizable. Soup dumplings were full of flavor, and the sauce they give you to dip them in pairs extremely well. They were a little costlier ($15) than I’ve seen at some other establishments, but you get 7 generously-sized portions, and again, they are teeming with flavor. One other thing to note is that the egg rolls have meat and shrimp in them. It doesn’t explicitly say so on the menu, so just watch for that if you’re a vegetarian or have a shellfish allergy!!”

“Love the food but their delivery is getting worse and worse. If you order before 5 p.m. it is nice if it can be delivered by 6:30 pm (especially if that is the window they promised). Did all we can to keep this place open during the pandemic but may need to start looking elsewhere for our family's sushi fix. VERY disappointed about their service.”

“Hands down, cheapest, highest quality stuff you'll find in the Watertown area, The owner Yoshi is so nice, he literally just handed me an extra piece of fish he was working on one night. Not sure if I came in at the end of the day, or because I spent X amount, but he straight up just gifted me this chunk of Tuna. Amazing owners, I will continue going back as long as I live in Boston.”

“I haven’t tried the food yet but I am writing a good review because “Tony” at the reception was very nice. He actually took his time asking us what languages we speak when my husband and I said that english is not our first language and made a prononciation mistake.

He even helped us get exactly what we wanted when we did not know what to take and then confirmed our orders when we were leaving by opening the boxes and making sure we had what we wanted.

Thank you Tony. Keep up the good work and you deserve a raise !”

“Something is SERIOUSLY wrong!!! 4.8 stars for Mike & Patty’s is a damn tragedy. Who do I need to speak to about this? 😂 10/10

I didn’t even know there was a category for World’s Best Breakfast Sandwich… apparently Mike & Patty’s created it.

First up: The Fancy. That perfectly runny little yolk made me stop what I was doing and PUT DOWN MY PHONE. I know… in this day and age, that’s basically a spiritual experience.

I ate the entire sandwich and then did the only responsible thing: ordered another one. Purely for quality control. I’m basically a food scientist. 😂

Just when I thought I’d reached peak breakfast, along comes the Bfast Grilled Crack. Now I’m sitting there geekin’ out over what can only be described as fresh, delicious breakfast art.

These guys dropped the mic, pulled out all the stops, put their best foot forward… hell, insert every cliché here because they earned all of them.

Damn, this place is LEGIT.

My bathroom scale and I will be discussing this decision privately. 😂”

It’s very frustrating because I want to give you my business, but I have to go to Dunkin’ Donuts if I want a breakfast sandwich for breakfast because you’re only serving lunch at 10:30am. Thank you! 😊”

“I’ve been coming here for maybe a month for smoothies on hot days. One day I went in, and a delivery driver was picking up a massive order. The owner of the business made sure he didnt leave without his own (free) meal. Not something you see everyday, it stuck with me. I dropped them off some cheesecakes yesterday as a thank you for being an amazing business. Today I went in to grab my usual (strawberry banana smoothie with rainbow jellies) and another delivery driver was dropping off some fresh pineapples. He also left with a free meal 🥰 This business takes care of you, remembers you. The nicest people work there and the food and drinks are amazing. Can’t recommend a restaurant enough. Seriously go!”
