“I went there for the first time a few weeks back and just loved this place. Small intimate restaurant with exceptional food and service. I had grilled octopus to start and had the seafood with homemade pappardelle, delicious. My SO had caprese salad with unbelievable mozzarella. They had the stripped bass which was delicious. We ended with some sambucca, espresso and tartufo. Great evening. My only comment is that seating for 2 is mostly at the bar or high tops near the bar (especially on Friday). We sat in the front near the window and I didn't feel like I was in the restaurant. Otherwise a great time and restaurant.“

“The food was top notch. We did have a loud party next to us which was not the restaurants fault and a server was slow to bring a glass of wine. Otherwise, it was truly a special meal. I like the new location and regret not having returned sooner!“

“The pork and beef tenderloins were both delicious, the pork especially so, one of the best I've ever had. Beef carpaccio appetizer was very good and salads were fresh and tasty.They also make some of the best drinks in town. "Smoke Gets in your Rye" was fantastic. Service was very friendly and attentive.Parking: Small back lot that fills quickly but plenty of street parking if you're willing to walk a block or so“

“We came here at night and we were the only ones dining in. There were a lot of take outs. We ordered two large pizzas and It was delicious. The service was good. The owner came by and helped us grab another table because the pizzas were very big and the table that we were sat at was tiny. Its a bit oily for my taste, personally but overall, I would recommend this place.“

“I tried a new app (good to go) it's to promote food from going to waste at the end of the night in local shops near you. I got 4 good sized slices for 3.99.They offered to heat it up for me, which I didn't expect.. we got slices with a couple different toppings since this was our first time there. It's a little out of the way for us- but now will be a new Go To for pizza. The subs and other foods sounded amazing too.The restaurant was clean, and well kept with tables outside and a bar against the window with some stools for a quick bite inside.“

“Saturday date night with my wife. We didn't have a reservation but wanted to try it after seeing it on the phantom gourmet. The staff was very accommodating and got us seated right away. At first we ended up at the bar and enjoyed the Italian wedding soup and some arancini. Later they were able to move us to a table after a no-show reservation.For my main course I had the Pollo con crema and my wife had the vegetable risotto. Both dishes were excellent and we had enough leftover to take home.For dessert I had the Iris which is a fried donut stuffed with fresh ricotta and lemon zest. My wife enjoyed a pistachio canoli.Price was reasonable but there is a charge for paying with a card. The building is beautiful and the bathroom was spotless. Can't wait to go again.“

“I had the chicken parm with a side of rosemary and oil chips and wild berries soda. The chips and soda were the standout part of this meal.The chicken parm was okay, but lacked flavor. The ciabatta bread it was served on was soft and warm, which was great. The chicken, however, didn't taste like much.This place is small inside, though I did eat at the barstools they have facing the outside. You definitely couldn't bring a large group here, but it works for a small group or as takeout.“

Casa D'Italia Italian • $
203 Newton St, Waltham

“I agree with a previous reviewer that this place is dated with charm. The proprietor is a lovely man who makes your sandwich with glee and a song. While the store's atmosphere is aging and in need of a little pick me up , it's nice that they make fresh pasta and have a selection of other Italian corner store goods for purchase. I got a deli meats sandwich (not an Italian). The meat was cut in front of me on a slicer and fresh , but I found the sandwich a bit salty, even for deli meat (maybe the bread or the meat ?) . Great service and a nice local business , even if the food I sampled wasn't at the top. I'd bet the pasta and the eggplant parm are great here. Maybe next time“

“For our date-night we chose to return to Da Vinci Waltham, and were not disappointed. We like to sit side-by-side, and Da Vinci takes reservations for bar seating, so that suited us well. The efficient and friendly bartender took great care of us as we made our way through Caprese (*truly* delectable cheese!), Scampi (the pasta was a wow, and plump shrimp completed the dish nicely) lamb chops (very delicate flavor, bountiful portion with a full meat/potato/vegetable dinner) and pistachio cannoli for dessert. Everything was delicious, and served timely but unhurried in the order we requested. Modest noise level was fine (though sometimes they have large parties that can get a bit raucous). Wines by the glass did not disappoint, especially the lovely Sangiovese we had with the lamb.“

Charcoal Guido’s Italian • $$
482 Moody St, Waltham

“After checking in the hotel in Waltham, Massachusetts the front desk provided a list of all, and I mean all the restaurants in the area. In settling for a choice we chose Charcoal Guidos on Moody Street. Fearful that a Friday night would be very busy, we were pleasantly surprised to be given a table right away. Service was prompt, professional and pleasant from the attendant providing water and then Juan who provided great service through the meal. Arancini was tasty, mussels in a tomato broth pleasing, and the gnocchi with a bolognese plentiful and very good. Overall just a very good meal from start to finish. Kudos to Juan for making sure we were happy with our meal without perching at our table the whole time. Recommend this place for anyone seeking excellent Italian food in a pleasant setting.“

I recommend B F Pizza if you're looking for a tasty quick bite. The facility was also quite clean and looked well maintained. I have eaten here several times late with no stomach issues as a result.“

“I was invited out to Sweet Basil, and my experience there was beyond all of my expectations. The vintage decor draws you right in. The staff was so attentive, friendly, and efficient. For our meal, we sampled the beet borsch, the bread service with freshly made pesto, the risotto of the day packed with fresh veggies and flavor,and our entrees were equally delicious. My husband had the special which was the sea bass with mashed potatoes and glazed baby carrots. I sampled the octupus ragu which was excellent. The octopus was tender, and the pasta was perfect. We decided to share the flan topped with coconut, with coffee. If your looking for a fine culinary experience find time to enjoy this magnificent restaurant. I am so pleased that we did. Enjoy!,.“
