“This place is authentic and warm, the food is simple but delicious, nothing pretentious/fancy, just good food, and we love it for that. The atmosphere is simple and relaxed, great for having a conversation, the service is excellent, and the prices are great. Best breakfast/lunch/brunch in the area!“
“Been to Raso's countless times and will continue to do so. It is bustling every night of the week. Perhaps the packed bar is in part due to their broad martini menu (haven't tried a bad one yet). But everything about it is exactly what you want for an easy-going Italian restaurant in Medford. The vibe is comfortable - a friendly crew of staff who will happily recognize regulars, always good tunes in the background at a respectable volume, nice decor but no frills. Parking lot is small and cramped. In the evening, people tend to take their chances and park in the right lane of Mystic Ave, since the lot fills up. Now that I've explained how Raso's passes the vibe check, and implied that you could simply have the time of your life consuming their martinis and nothing else, I'd also like to complement the food. We get the grilled artichoke appetizer every time (sometimes two or three orders of it) and it is fantastically tender, with a light lemony dressing over a bed of greens. We clear the plate every time. Before Raso's, I never gave artichokes a second thought, but now I dream of them. Have legitimately called in a to-go order of just the artichokes. Anyways, great arancini as well, great pasta and seafood dishes, and you can order a breaded chicken cutlet with most entrees, which is nice and crispy, but also huge, so be warned. They're always trying new things with the pizza too - classic kind of crust with a tiny char on the edge. They even have some real Italian desserts, like Spumoni! Some people will say the food is average. I say, if you're looking for some kind of revolutionary experience, you're simply in the wrong place. Raso's experiments within the bounds of a classic Italian-American menu, they do it with class, and the staff are genuine. My humble suggestion is that they don't change a thing. Vivi il Raso's.“
“Was staying in Medford, working in Boston for 18 days. The food was so good I ate there 16 of the 18 days I was there.(tried some Italian restaurants while I was there the other 2 nights). Everything I ate was great! The chili was the best I’ve ever ate, the wings were awesome, the loaded nachos, the steak tips, the meatloaf, sweet potato fries, the brussel sprouts, the collard greens, were all great and some of the best southern food I’ve ever ate and I’m from South Alabama! And the drinks were great also. It was my home away from home for 2 1/2 weeks. The atmosphere was very welcoming, Scott, Erin and Sylvia took great care of me. We don’t have places like this down here. 12 out of 10 rating for me! Hope I get to come back and visit. Thanks for making a fella from Tanner Williams, Alabama feel welcome.“
“Everything about Tamper is amazing. The food is the best around, not to mention the coffee. Perfection! The staff is fantastic. It can get really busy but they get to you as fast as possible. I also appreciate them still requiring masks. We are still in uncertain times and it definitely makes it feel like a safe atmosphere.“
“My husband & I walked to Medford Square for exercise. On the way back, we decided to stop @ Colleen's for lunch. We each ordered a Rubin Sandwich. There were 2 young ladies working together who were very pleasant. Our order arrived after a short wait. The sandwich was delicious! The bread was nicely toasted, the meat was sliced thin & was tasty, the onions & sauerkraut were mild & did not overpower the sandwich. It came with 2 sliced pickles which were mildly sweet & tasty. Afterwards, we decided to have ice cream. My husband had 2 scoops of Coffee fudge in a cup. The combination was delicious. I had 1 scoop of rum raisin. Haven't had this in years. It was just OK. I had 1 scoop of mint chocolate chip which was delicious! Kudos to the 2 young ladies out front & the cooks out back. The place got increasingly busy shortly after we arrived & we noticed the staff had everything under control. We will be back soon! Thank you!“
“This is the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in a long time. I’ll be hard pressed to find a better chicken sandwich than this one and I welcome anyone to try this sandwich first then recommend one that is better. The chicken was cooked so perfectly the breading was light and real crispy, the meat was seasoned and super juicy. I generally don’t like raw onions (wasn’t listed in the description) but they complimented everything in the sandwich. Finally the spicy aioli was not spicy at all and it tasted more like honey mustard than anything else, to be honest I was cool with that because honey mustard is my go to for dipping my chicken nuggies or tenders in.“
“Best breakfast place in all of Massachusetts I'd say. So many different varieties of sandwhiches and subs I haven't tried any so far that I've disliked. My favorite menu items are the bacon bboy and the clogger. The sauce that comes with these sandwiches the jacobs river is actually fuckin fire I could prolly drink that shit . Definitely recommend. Workers are dawgs nice people. No complaints. Bussin“
“Dempsey's is the perfect neighborhood breakfast joint. Everyone is so nice inside too. It has a classic diner vibe inside and a nice big menu with plenty of breakfast and lunch options. I absolutely love their flavored iced coffee! So delicious.“
“The food was so good and our waiter was really kind. We got two original cocktails off the menu and we really enjoyed them. We'd come back more often if we lived closer!Kid-friendliness: Our 10 year-old was more than welcomed. His pizza was delicious.“
