“Absolutely delicious pizza. Probably the best in Boston. Just wish the place was bigger. Be prepared to wait a while even on weekdays. But the pizza were totally worth it.”
“We’ve been here a few times and it’s delicious! Love the mussels so much w/garlic and lemon. The staff is friendly and the Italian food is amazing and authentic (was pleased to have my pasta served al dente). SO good!!! ❤️”
“I have not been to Fiorella's for several years, but in the past we used to go every weekend after the theater. Food is excellent and the staff friendly. It is best to have a reservation because it gets very crowded. I highly recommend it. It does not disappoint. I give this Restaurant a five-star rating! I wish it were closer to home.”
“What a nice surprise, this place is without any doubts the best and more authentic Italian place in the Boston area. As starter we took rice supplì, focaccia, arrosticini and funghi marinati. With the supplì I felt to be back in Rome.As main dish we took the squid ink tonnarelli alle vongole, mamma mia! I felt to be in a summer night in my Sicily eating in front of the sea.Lastly as dessert we took the housemade gelato and the tiramisu, both were fantastic.Worth to mention the blood orange gelato, third time during the dinner that I felt I was back in Italy.Definitely I will come back, super recommended!”
“Little Big Diner serves up a symphony of flavors in their spicy tan tan ramen. By swapping chili ground pork for the decadent chashu pork, akin to pork belly, they’ve elevated the dish to a celestial level. The cloudy, flavorful broth dances on your taste buds, while the melt-in-your-mouth pork and perfectly balanced noodles complete the gastronomic masterpiece. For a taste of the best ramen Boston has to offer, Little Big Diner is a must-visit culinary oasis.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Fantastic pizza!! The crust is crispy and tender like it should be. Cooked perfectly. The other non-pizza items are ALL great as well. Nice little bar area too serving great drinks.”
“We had an amazing meal in this cosy, warm and welcoming joint right in the middle of Newton centre.We went without a reservation and sat at the bar. The food was perfect in every way which does not happen frequently and when it does – it is a great experience. The cavatelli was outstanding. Same with the porkchops. The deserts were great too. The staff were attentive , and at the same time knowledgeable about what was on offer. The manager too was extremely nice and offered us some very helpful advice on the venue itself.All said, this is a place that one can keep going back to.Parking: Generally enough spots except during weekends”
“Had to try the famous chicken Cesar pizza because who doesn’t like salad on a pizza? It literally tastes like how it seems but weirdly good, and there’s so much cheese on top I think that’s the main reason I like it. Their steak tips is also delicious, the steak is well marinated filled with rich red winey flavors.”

“Dined there for the first time - blown away by amazing food and cocktails. Small plates with creative, understated recipes that delight your mouth, flavor combinations that sing, and just the right portion size (even though we ordered doubles of the hogshead fritters, they were so good). Further their cocktail maestro has crafted incredible drinks that will make you rethink tequila, bourbon, and scotch. Impeccable service. It's been so long since we've been to a truly great restaurant, and this place gave us hope that truly great restaurants can make it thru this pandemic.”

“Greet ice cream shop with a huge menu. My father brought me coconut ice cream from here as that's one of the only flavors I typically like and I was very surprised by how good it was. He loves the chocolate. Definitely worth a try if ever in the area. Will definitely try more flavors in the future.”

“I’ve gone with my grandfather and mom to Cabot’s for over 10+ years. They have the best ice cream! Highly recommend the Patriot Parfait: A tower of Strawberry, and Vanilla ice cream with strawberry and blueberry sauce, with whipped cream and a cherry on top. They also have tasty reuben sandwiches. Staff are friendly, and the owner is lovely. Usually a bit of a wait, but that’s due to how popular the restaurant is. They also sell ice cream birthday cakes, if you are looking for that.”
“There's no other place I rather grab breakfast from. When I first met Mike, he greeted me like family. The BEC sandwich I ordered was one of the best I've ever had and ever since, this place has been my go to. You won't be disappointed.”

“Great restaurant for breakfast or lunch! Prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food they're serving. The servers are friendly and accommodating. They were very understanding about my parent who has dementia.... Served her soup as soon as it was ready as requested, brought more hot chocolate as needed and they waved every time my mother waved at them. As my teenaged daughter says: "they know how to serve old people."The food was very good. I had their berry strudel French toast (lots of fresh strawberries and strawberry ricotta cheese on challah French toast) was absolutely delicious - I liked it without syrup. The rest of my party had corned beef hash and eggs, cheeseburger, panini, and lemon chicken rice soup. All was so good, we didn't have any leftovers!Metered street parking only.Handicap access: zero steps (ramped entryway); everything, including large bathrooms, on one level.Wheelchair accessibility: Zero steps (ramped entryway); everything, including large bathrooms, on one level.”
“Went for a Friday night date — servers were very attentive, loved the atmosphere.. Very romantic! My salmon was big and hearty and cooked to perfection with a crispy outer layer from cast iron...”
“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.”
“Excellent wine choices, all by the glass, especially Eastern European wines. Live music on some days. As for the food, some things were great, some less so, nothing bad.Parking: The parking lot is behind the restaurant, but a little hard to find. Street parking was very limited. Leave a bit of extra time to park.”
“Loud but comfortable. Warned when we arrived that there was an hour and 1/2 time limit for our table. Not necessary as there was still space when we left. Cheeseburger egg roll appetizer was excellent. Salmon burger was ok. Too salty. Out of the duck entree that I wanted, but gnocchi was good.”
“I can tell this is the real deal. Authentic and affordable Thai food compare to other Thai restaurants I tried. I love the Tom yum soup very tasty & pad thai noodle. Their service is top notch & friendly atmosphere. I live in Boston but I will order from here again :) ..my go to for take out”
“Haven't tasted their food, but if their calling game is as strong as their dedication to Stewart's order, I'm in for a treat – or at least a persistent dinner invitation!”
“This is a great spot. The food is excellent the neighborhood was missing this for years congratulations to the owners for putting this place together. The food is excellent the service is great and everyone is friendly. I highly recommend this place.”
“First time eating here and the food and presentation was perfect! Veggie burger with the seasoned fries was delicious! Flatbread pizza with figs was also enjoyed. Great live entertainment tonight, Nephrok. Great crowd of people. Service was busy but attentive as needed. Ambiance is perfect. So great to have this venue close to home!”
“Great food and service. Definitely authentic food. The medium spicy is a little spicier than other places, so do be aware. The kungpao chicken was a great dish, a little saltier than normal. The pork soup and soup dumplings were on point. Def a good place to try.”

“We ordered mango curry. It was awesome. We ordered Tom Kay Gai It was awesome. The cashew chicken thing I didn’t love, but I think it was just my personal preference.The energy is really good in this place. And there’s lots of parking behind it.”
“Traditional pizza done quickly and conveniently. Just minutes from home.Located in a simple no-nonsense store front.Vegetarian options: Several veggie only toppings offered.”
“Stopping by for a quick mid day dine. First- Lychee Martini was wonderful. Second- steamed Thai chicken peanut dumplings. They were sure tasty, just a bit of a tough chew for some. The meat and toasted peanut was a little over cooked. I don't mind that so much. I like my meat really done. The ginger sauce is yummy. Third- takoyaki app. Perfect bites of tempura balls filled with octopus. The top of mayo and bonito flakes made me get a real smoke gun flavor. Loved it!”

“Found this hidden gem on Instagram one day and the birria tacos served here looked insane so of course I had to try it! The restaurant is small but the staff are super sweet. You can try and walk in; however, the place does fill up quickly so try and get a reservation if you can! Started off with an order of guacamole and chips with some salsa and upon first glance it looks pretty regular. But the first bite of the guacamole and you can feel how smooth and zesty it's been made. The salsa was also delicious with some heat! For entrees ordered the Al pastor burrito and of course the birria tacos. The burrito was massive and a very interesting take on a burrito as it was crispy and seared well unlike most burritos which are usually quick soft and floppy.But no flops here. Pair each bite with the guac or salsa and it's perfect moving on to the star of the show, why I came here! The birria looks amazing. I loved how crispy the fried cheese was. Similar to the burrito, most birria taco spots make a wet and floppy taco, but no flops here!! The meat was super tender and you can tell it's been stewed inside the consume for hours maybe even days?! Each bite was better than the last.My only warning is due be mindful of how much consume you're consuming as it's a little salty and you might not notice it until after you've left the restaurant or even the next day.”
“The cakes and pastries are always fresh. I’ve been going since I was a little girl, and now I bring my own kids there for treats. I pray they stick around for a long time.”
“The food here is delicious, my favorites are the strawberry mochi that has very soft chewy texture with a ripe strawberry in the inside, and the ham and corn roll which is very soft and has an amazing taste.”
“Best sushi I’ve had! Friendly staff; amazing food- lots of choice, interesting combinations, fresh, gluten free friendly (they make their own soy sauce even!); casual vibe; beautiful space.”
“We stopped in on the way home from the airport, and it was amazing! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere and food were awesome. I highly recommend the Mickey’s Chicken special and the red sangria which was a deep dark red- as sangria should be. Yum! My children loved our Irish waitress who Made them laugh and feel special. This restaurant is over an hour from where we live, but there is no doubt we will travel back often. Wonderful experience!”
“**Highly Recommend!!** Overdue "Thank You" to The Icing On The Cake @tiotcma for our absolutely beautiful and unbelievably delicious wedding cake!! It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you!! (Condakes Wedding, BBCC, 11/20/21).”
“A very good pizza restaurant that opened in 1925 and will be 100 years old next year!Frank Pepe retains the Italian tradition of baking pizza over charcoal, which has remained unchanged for nearly a hundred years. The baked pizza is charred, spicy, fragrant and chewy!Frank Pepe’s exclusive secret tomato sauce is even more special, and it is said that many people will come here for a special trip!”
“Stopped by for a quick bite. Great, home style food and the service was very good. Pasta was good and the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. Will come.back again for sure!”
“Oh my god! It’s like someone read my mind and built this place for me. If only these could replace all the McDonald’s out there and of course everyone could afford it. Our healthcare costs would come down to free universal healthcare. Basically how Europe manages this is by having real food available everywhere. And the population needs way less overpriced medication because of it.”
“Found this place via Instagram. The staff are all nice and food was great. Small seating area but when I went in the evening was able to sit. Staff told me there are two other locations which I will have to check out in the future. Will be back !”
“Love their all natural vegan-friendly acai bowls! It's a local, woman-owned business right by the Newton Center T stop on the green line, so convenient to get to. A great option for a nutrious and delicious breakfast or lunch.”
“Lovely people, making wonderful food for gluten free diet. Always scrumptious choices, soups and desserts. Check the hours before you head out. Plenty of parking.”
“The prepared items from Judith's Kitchen are some of the healthiest and most delicious foods you will find anywhere and at such reasonable prices!! We are from out of state, but will return each time we are back to see my surgeon. The salmon burger, the black bean burger, the coleslaw, the potato salad, the lentil soup, the roasted vegetables, and literally everything else are just fabulous!!! The owners are precious people and treat us with such warmth. I can't recommend this restaurant more highly. I just wish they would relocate to upstate New York!”
“The falafel is just the beginning of all of the great food that can be found here. Awesome spot for a lunch or dinner for everybody, with many vegetarian and meat options for anyone’s tastes.”
“Small little stand outside of Frank Pepe. The presentation was nice. They were well lit and labeled. Staff was very helpful and nice. It's pricey but worth it. These were a little bigger then other macarons. Definitely, delicious.”

“Best Dunkin' in Newton. Recent renovations make the place look a lot better. Also, the lady at the sandwich station deserves a raise.Parking: Most people don't know this, but there's a parking lot in the back that ALWAYS has spaces. Although I will say that it's unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.”
“Great food service u would not rate it 5 star but 4 overall ambience wise very clean modern place upgraded just recently inside love the work done better than before condition the store ”
“Best McDonald's I entered. They are super polite and fast. Sandwich always hot and fresh.Latin people are the best hard work ever!Where Americans workers are working , customer service is terrible”

“I've been coming here for a while now, but a recent event impassioned me to leave this review.Let me start by saying that firstly, the food here is ALWAYS delicious and cooked to perfection. Never have I ever received something done badly, spilled, or over/undercooked.Secondly and lastly, the employees and manager here are very kind and understanding. Today, I put in an online order for a pizza, but through either my error or my phone's internet connection error, my comment of "no mushrooms please!" did not attach to the order. When I arrived, my order had mushrooms on and I told them that I had put "no mushrooms." Without fuss, I was told that they would make another pizza for me right away. While I was waiting, I realized that the comment did not attach for some reason, and quickly apologized for my error. They were entirely understanding and even let me keep the second pizza free of charge!This interaction of them "honoring" MY error was wonderful and will keep me coming back for a long time! Combine that with the fact that I heard they give free pizzas to the elementary school students nearby, I gotta say that this restaurant has become one of my favorite places to come to. Delicious food and good company, what more could you ask for!”

“Yup. Believe the hype. Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed to the gills, yet I got a seat at the bar, a beer, and my food super fast. Sports bar atmosphere. Nothing fancy, because the focus is on the food. I went for trad wings and some extra hot boneless. Boneless might have had a tad too much breading that made them fall apart a bit, but the flavor was 9/10. The wings on the bone though were the best I've had in a long time. Very traditional. Perfect fry, perfect heat, perfect acid, perfect size, perfect moisture. They know what they're doing with these. 11/10”

“Country Desserts Bake Shop provided us with fantastic service. In just 24 hours, they were able to make a birthday cake for my son's birthday. Best of all, the cake was delicious!Highly recommend!”
“LOVED this spot! I tried the double pepperoni cupcake (10/10), the shrimp Mac n cheese cupcake (10/10), and the cheesecake cupcake (a bit try-- wouldn't recommend). Overall, these cupcakes were AMAZING and I will definitely be back to try more! Such a fun concept and they're small enough that you can try a few flavors, which is great. I also got a salad wrap which was delicious. This place is very reasonably priced, staff was friendly, and the concept was very cool.”
“Recent NY transplant , missing alot of food from home. Blackers is absolutely amazing, quality baked goods friendly service and a great selection. I live about an hour away, it’s worth the trip here once a month to satisfy my bakery needs. You guys rock!”
“The definition of a hidden gym. He does a lot of catering so check the instagram for weekly hours. Heard about this from a coworker and we ordered almost every pizza on the menu to try. The service was amazing and the food was even better. Every pizza on the menu tastes amazing. Strongly recommend all pizza lovers to try it out.”
“I have been coming to Hardy teriyaki for quite a while now and I am addicted to the supreme teriyaki chicken bowl. The chicken is always so fresh and tender and flavorful. I usually get it on top of the delicious fried rice. And that egg on top just brings it to another level of goodness. Not only is the food consistently delicious, the people who work there are so friendly and kind. My food is always ready when I get there and is given to me with a huge beautiful smile! love this place.”
“One of the best sandwiches in town, we have the chicken salad sandwich and grilled chicken sandwich. Both were just perfect and enough for lunch and dinner. Next we going to try their pizza which looked very good”
“One of the best coffee shops in the Boston area. My spouse loves their iced lavender latte. She likes that it’s floral and not candy sweet. Chai can be a little weak on the flavor-ask for extra chai concentrate and then it’s delightful. They use Oatly oatmilk, which is superior so oat milk drinkers will love it. Staff tend to be a little aloof, but they are responsive and will do right by you.”
“Best burger in Boston hands down! Whenever I am craving a giant, the size of my face, mouth watering burger, it has to be a burger from Lee's burgers! This location is not that big but it has a few tables and stools to dine in. It's an order at the counter and if you dine in they bring you your food to the table. My bf and I were craving juicy burgers so we drove up to Lee's. It was busy Saturday night, they had a lot of pick up and orders to go but we found a table to sit and dine in. I ordered the usual which is the two patty Lee's burger and my bf got their other signature burger. The fries came out first and they were perfect! They were super crispy and thick just how I like them. Our burgers came out next and they came out nice and hot! My Lee's burger was neatly wrapped up to keep it together because it was fully loaded! My burger was packed with bacon,peppers, grilled onions, fried egg and french fries and it was amazing! It was challenging to keep it together as I enjoyed every bite but I managed to devour it just fine. It really hit the spot!”
“I'm embarrassed to say I have driven by hundreds of times and never stopped in, but I finally came to my senses an hour ago and stopped when I saw the neon "hot slices" sign in the window. I got one slice of cheese and one chicken/broccoli, they were delicious and exactly what I needed. They have a small display of Peggy Lawton cookies and brownies in front of the register, I love the old-school choices! Next time I will try a sub, or maybe a sub and bring a whole pizza home!”
“A gem! The owners were very friendly and attentive. The sushi was amazing! It was nice to just hang out at the sushi bar and enjoy a lovely dinner and share it with a friendly & thoughtful staff.”
“Best chicken cutlet sub around. Always get it toasted. Best part about this place- no fried food, none! Great value for a family. Pizza is Greek-style and on point, salads are generous proportions. Best neighborhood spot, awesome service!”
“Nestled in the heart of the city, the New England Soup Factory is a culinary haven for soup enthusiasts. With a rotating menu of hearty and flavorful soups, each bowl is a comforting journey through New England's culinary landscape.

The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it the perfect spot to warm up on a chilly day or enjoy a nourishing meal any time of year. Whether you're dining in or taking out, the New England Soup Factory promises a delicious and satisfying experience that keeps customers coming back for more.”
“Simple, affordable, no-nonsense, delicious food.I feel I could happily eat the meatballs here everyday for the rest of my life. Just like mother makes, if not better (between you and me).”
“We had a double graduation party and Breadsong was so amazing with their delicious and beautiful custom made cakes. The Italian Rum cake was gone immediately! We’ve been ordering from there for years and highly recommended them for your special occasions! Thank you!”
“Charming spot with great service & food. The photos don’t do Eddie’s justice. If you are looking for an old school, simple spot to grab a bite, you can’t go wrong at Eddie’s as it’s clean and friendly with fantastic vibes.”

“Sweet tomato is the best pizza in Mass, and I will die on this hill. Their large pizzas are HUGE. I've never had pizza so good. Get chicken on the pesto pizza. Thank me later. You can't miss here. Anything you get is delish, and I'm sure prepared with fresh ingredients cause ugh! The service is amazing, they deliver and if you're too far they have grubhub and uber eats.”

“My absolute favorite Italian restaurant around Boston. I am writing this review after moving away because I miss it so much!Their marinara is to die for. I love their arancini served with marinara.They have a really nice pizza and pasta selection too.Their tiramisu is a bit dry for my taste though.”
“Always like the atmosphere and service and just had an excellent dinner special with salmon and sweet potatoes. This restaurant has an extensive menu with enough alternatives to wheat and dairy dishes that I can enjoy.”
“Grandma’s Kitchen is truly a hidden treasure! Their braised beef noodle soup is a culinary masterpiece that's worth traveling far and wide for. The harmonious blend of spice, acidity, and umami in the broth creates a tantalizing flavor experience. Each bite of the al dente noodles paired with tender, flavorful beef is pure delight.The popcorn chicken is another standout item—crispy, impeccably seasoned, and bursting with flavor.The service is both swift and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the place. Getting a glimpse of Grandma herself in the kitchen adds an extra layer of authenticity and warmth.I can confidently say that I'll be making regular return visits to Grandma’s Kitchen—it's simply too good to resist!”
“Fantastic experience recently at Dave’s. As usual the food was top notch, but this time I have to mention my server. Basil was very kind and welcoming, and made the afternoon much better (it’s rainy as all hell). Thanks!”
“We stopped in on the way home from the airport, and it was amazing! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere and food were awesome. I highly recommend the Mickey’s Chicken special and the red sangria which was a deep dark red- as sangria should be. Yum! My children loved our Irish waitress who Made them laugh and feel special. This restaurant is over an hour from where we live, but there is no doubt we will travel back often. Wonderful experience!”

“Big Island Hawaiian Girl approved!!! Have missed having true Hawaiian food living on the east coast. Kalua pig and Loco Moco plates were spot on!! Even the Mac Salad reminded me of home! We will be back over and over!!”
“LOVED this spot! I tried the double pepperoni cupcake (10/10), the shrimp Mac n cheese cupcake (10/10), and the cheesecake cupcake (a bit try-- wouldn't recommend). Overall, these cupcakes were AMAZING and I will definitely be back to try more! Such a fun concept and they're small enough that you can try a few flavors, which is great. I also got a salad wrap which was delicious. This place is very reasonably priced, staff was friendly, and the concept was very cool.”
“Oh my god! It’s like someone read my mind and built this place for me. If only these could replace all the McDonald’s out there and of course everyone could afford it. Our healthcare costs would come down to free universal healthcare. Basically how Europe manages this is by having real food available everywhere. And the population needs way less overpriced medication because of it.”

“This place is a local gem! It's a perfect spot to go with family or with friends. Food: I got the corned beef hash with potatoes. The hash was good flavor-wise but I wish the beef was portioned a little smaller so it could blend better. The eggs were solid but eggs are pretty solid everywhere. 7.5/10. Ambiance: So cute and there are just such great vibes here! The staff is very friends and it's a lovely local place. We went on a weekend and it was packed so you know it's reliable 8.5/10. Price: Pricing is pretty standard for a brunch place. My meal was about $15 and I was decently full 8/10. Would definitely go ahead if I'm in the area!”
“I’ve gone with my grandfather and mom to Cabot’s for over 10+ years. They have the best ice cream! Highly recommend the Patriot Parfait: A tower of Strawberry, and Vanilla ice cream with strawberry and blueberry sauce, with whipped cream and a cherry on top. They also have tasty reuben sandwiches. Staff are friendly, and the owner is lovely. Usually a bit of a wait, but that’s due to how popular the restaurant is. They also sell ice cream birthday cakes, if you are looking for that.”
“A very good pizza restaurant that opened in 1925 and will be 100 years old next year!Frank Pepe retains the Italian tradition of baking pizza over charcoal, which has remained unchanged for nearly a hundred years. The baked pizza is charred, spicy, fragrant and chewy!Frank Pepe’s exclusive secret tomato sauce is even more special, and it is said that many people will come here for a special trip!”
“Found this place via Instagram. The staff are all nice and food was great. Small seating area but when I went in the evening was able to sit. Staff told me there are two other locations which I will have to check out in the future. Will be back !”
“Dined there for the first time - blown away by amazing food and cocktails. Small plates with creative, understated recipes that delight your mouth, flavor combinations that sing, and just the right portion size (even though we ordered doubles of the hogshead fritters, they were so good). Further their cocktail maestro has crafted incredible drinks that will make you rethink tequila, bourbon, and scotch. Impeccable service. It's been so long since we've been to a truly great restaurant, and this place gave us hope that truly great restaurants can make it thru this pandemic.”
