Restaurants in Newton

“Cabot's has great food, including all-day breakfast, in addition to their delicious ice cream. The McGonagal Benedict was the best corned beef benny I've ever had.”

“Incredible customer service, the kind that is rare to find! Above and beyond! The pastries are delicious. The Cruffins are light, airy and just the right amount of sweetness. We support small businesses, and this one is a hidden gem!”

“Great pizza and staff. Chef worked her buns off. A great sign.”

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

“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.”

“Dinner was amazing! I’m still dreaming of that spinach salad!”

“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.”

“Truly the best acaii and pitaya bowls I’ve ever had. Everything is incredibly fresh and freshly blended to the perfect consistency. I’m quite picky about smoothie bowls and I could truly eat here every day.”

“Fantastic food, service and atmosphere! A must try for dinner in the Boston area 🙂”

“Get those awesome skins back…..”

“Absolutely delicious. We had the Falafel sandwich, rice and spinach/feta pie. So good. Fast friendly service. Will definitely come back!!!”

“Pizza dough is the best I've had so far. Food was great and portion is large. Love love love. Trust the server on the pizza recommendations, it was amazing. I forgot the name, but it has squash and pancetta and some hot honey.”

“Our waitress was the kindest woman. She recommended the Burrata. We loved it. She was full of compliments and good conversation. We would love her to be our waitress every time we come in!!! Thanks for a wonderful meal.”

“Frank Pepe's is my favorite local pizza restaurant. Their New Haven style pizza is a thin crispy crust with minimal toppings that's cooked in a coal oven.
It comes out hot and steaming and delicious.

Their tomato pie (only available in season) and their clam pie are unique classics.

My favorite is their pepperoni and cherry tomatoes. The pepperoni comes out crispy and lightly burnt and it's perfectly complemented by the spicy peppers.

It's great for kids and families, and it's a unique place for dates!”

“Found this place by chance while searching for a place for quick dinner in the area. Food was surprisingly authentic sichuan and thoroughly enjoyed all dishes we tried.
-Chengdu dry chicken with red chilies $21.95 delicious flavor with mild mala numbing spices, but breaded chicken pieces seem overly deep fried.
-Stir fried chicken with black bean sauce, green bell pepper and onion $18.95 even onions had full flavor and tasty. Chicken was little salty though.
-Beef Chow Fan $18.95 best smokey flavor I've tasted in years
-hot and sour soup $4.95 with all the right ingredients it was still flavorless but salty.
Place was clean with decent table settings, fast service. Decent size parking available.”

“Awesome good food and awesome prices! Kid friendly and everybody is chill!”

“DELICIOUS FOOD. Very different food fair with choices for all diets. Excellent, friendly service. Good cocktails. I’ll be back !”

“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.”

“The best food we found in all of Boston. We wish we had seen the place earlier. Delicious, light but abundant and economical. I have to take more photos of the food, it's so delicious that I can't get enough.”

“great pizza hot rolls and dipping oil. kid friendly excellent service”

“love the food. love the patio. love the family environment.”

“One of the best nights ever!!! The staff is just amazing 🤩 stellar service and food. We needed a night like this. And the musician was simply THE BEST! Thank you for all your services and beautiful people that work for you. Nice and clean and such a beautiful atmosphere. I will never forget this night. We will be back! 🙏”

“Good food and drinks; excellent service”

“Great food and great service!”

“Loved it. Great patio. Asparagus taco appetizer is simply delish!!”

“Local live music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Great staff, fantastic food, creative drinks, nice beer selection.”

“my favorite rest. they are the best.ask for george!”

“The people are amazingly helpful. The food was so good. We had ordered a delivery from Grubhub but love to go in person.”

“I would like to express my gratitude to Blue Salt staff (with special thanks going to Igor) who made our special occasion so memorable! I needed to organize a nice dinner for 15 people for my son's birthday. The whole process was absolutely flawless - from initial contact with Igor who took care of all the planning and setup. When we arrived to the restaurant everything was ready and we were treated with utmost attention. The dinner was served family style and we had a chance to pick our menu selections to be shared. The portions were very generous, beautifully decorated and served, service was impeccable. The food was absolutely amazing! Everyone was beyond satisfied and happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you Igor and Blue Salt team! You made our event very special and unforgettable!”

“Secret find!! Food is amazing 😉!!!”

“Five enthusiastic stars! I would give more if I could! The burrito lives up to the hype, and I love that they offer it in various sizes to accommodate different appetites. The salsa is perfectly spicy. And the service is phenomenal! Family owned and run establishment. No wonder they’ve been around for years and maintain stellar reviews. I can’t wait to go back!”

“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.”

“OMG, I just made the Paltaypampa in my V60. This is an amazing coffee. Loaded with flavor and super smooth. I feel like this is the coffee I've been searching for. If you have a chance, get some!!!”

“Staff were great at suggesting baked goods. We tried the egg deli roll, honey toast and the seasonal snowman. This was my first time here and I would definitely go out of my way to stop back in. The friendly service really makes me wish I could give this more than five stars.”

“Fabulous pizza !! Thank you”

“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!”

“great food, great service, and very friendly. worked with my nut allergy, which can be hard to find sometimes. Definitely worth check out if your in the area!”

“Wonderful restaurant and bar located in a lovely suburban setting. When you arrive, you are always greeted with a smile and it feels like home. The atmosphere and the food are top notch and you always feel better after having gone there!”

“The chili is amazing. I can’t ever make it home without digging in on the way. Getting soup and chicken from the same place is genius, a full meal that tastes like it came from your own kitchen.”

“I've always loved this place !!!! Good subs served by Great people !!!”

“**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).”

“Blows away fancy burger joints at almost half the price.”

“Eddies is a staple here in Newton. You can’t go wrong with the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant and the home fries it comes with. I’ve been going here since before the iphone and anytime I go, Eddie is always there, the legend.”

“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.”

“Amazing pizza, perfect crust, and friendly service! My top choice for a pizza night.”

“The quality of the food, the promptness and kindness of service, and how nice husband, wife and grandma are in welcoming guests, is definitely worth becoming a regular. Chapeau!”

“Pressed Cafe on Needham St is one of the only places in Newton where you can get a hearty breakfast bowl or burrito around 6 AM. One major benefit I found is that they also have extensive gluten-free options!

They are well versed and responsive to allergy concerns, as this morning I asked if a particular item had gluten in it. The cashier then took the time to check the allergen booklet to see if there was any concern. There was not. I am very thankful for that cashier because they displayed a discipline and hard work when some Pain In The Butt Customer is asking about allergy concerns. I appreciate that!

They have a variety of foods, but I recommend any of the foods they have. They also cater to people who are Paleo eaters, with a few desserts or pastries that are Paleo friendly.

Personally, one of my favorites is their cold brew coffee with light coconut milk. It is a George Howell brand rocket fuel that is flavorful and even craved on a winter morning. There chia pudding is adorned with fresh cut fruit, jam, and peanut butter, giving it a variety of flavors. Their GF sandwiches and wraps are ample.

Pricewise, you may find comparable options if you can wait until 7 or 8 AM, but Pressed Cafe is hard to beat if you're an early bird and want consistent high quality foods. If you can't make it to the Newton area, make sure to check their website. They are located around the greater Boston area, too!”

“The food is fresh and sooo yummy, just incredible! New favorite lunch spot! Definitely recommend!”

“For a party of four we have ordered the following as take out
1. Szechuan Kung Pao Chicken
2. Chinese Cabbage Fried Yuba
3. Hand Pulled Biang Biang Noodle W Spicy Cumin Beef
4. Popcorn Chicken

Two rice boxes came as sides
The seating is quite limited ah still we were able to go to the nearby concert park area and sit on a bench to share a meal. The food was delicious! You typically order via the kiosk and the food comes out at just the right temperature to warm you up even while eating outside on a moderately cold day.

The service was kind! The staff did try to find a spot for us - but we decided to eat outside so that we had a wider seating arrangement.

The food is made quickly and with care.
God bless you all!”

“Great pizza! Came here based on a recommendation and our family gives two thumbs up! Will definitely be returning often.”

“Local pizza take out joint with excellent chunky sauce (you can substitute smooth) and thin crust. The atmosphere is pleasant and the place even has a few tables. A large pizza is around $25 minimum and will easily serve 4 people.”

“Food is great. Got a slider, and the chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while being tender on the inside. Since the food came out promptly, the slaw on the slider did not seep into the bun so it was not soggy at all. The fries are also great, whatever seasoning they put on really does a great job. The workers are super friendly. The facility is much cleaner than other restaurant chains I've been at. Overall 10/10 experience for me. Would recommend the place and food to other people.”

“One of the best pizzeria in the state of MA. The slices are amazing, the cheese with that marinara (perfect hint of sweet and iron ) ! The customer service is above and beyond as well. Thank you for making good and food 🙏🏾”

“Absolutely amazing Thai food. It’s the best in the Boston area. We will definitely be back!”

“Chef Toriyama has some of the best sushi in Boston, hands-down! Little nuances that just make everything pop the vegetables tasted alarmingly, fresh good texture, really stunning depth the flavor. Almost reminds me of picking vegetables out of the garden. Not the usual slightly sterile taste, and texture that you find from modern restaurants.

The way that he seasons the rice is a little bit unique has a nice slightly nutty flavor to it. Really everything was incredibly well, balanced, and thought out.

The atmosphere is also stunning, soft, jazz music in the background sunlight gently fills the room

The staff all seem to know one another and be well connected and the entire vibe just feels warm.

Even the preparation & assembly of each role is different but in a charming and unique way. You can definitely tell that Chef has been at this for over the last two decades.

I eat at least Sushi twice a week and I think this is gonna be my new go to spot.”

“Blown away by our cake! In one email Andrea completely captured my husband’s vibe and sent me a sketch with an idea that was far better than I imagined. The end product literally stole the show! The cake was also delicious - moist and flavorful. If you want a masterpiece that reflects the personality of the person or event you are celebrating, text, call or email Andrea NOW. She is amazing.”

“I saw Jayson Tatum here yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like five orders of crab rangoons in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bags and keyed in quantity x5, he stopped her and told her to enter each line individually “to prevent any math tricks,” and then turned around and winked at me. If he was making a joke, I guess I didn't get it. After she keyed in each individual order of rangoons and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.”

“I've only been here a couple times for a quick stop but nothing bad to say! Haven't tried much only slices of pizza so far but will definitely try more later I'm curious and seems to be good. Very kind and friendly! Thanks ?”

“This is a great take out spot, and the prices CANNOT be beaten ! Consistent, delicious, and cheap-what more could you want from a Viet place? Maybe better parking, but not a far walk/stroll from the municipal lot. Did I mention fast? They ONLY do take out, so find a nice picnic spot or bring it home. Bahn Mi holds up for a long drive”

“The staff was very nice and the pizza was ready within minutes :) the price was good too and the pizza was delicious! I ordered a large pepperoni pizza for four people and the portion was just right.”

“Such a wonderful place. The freshest of everything. Home made too. 💯💯💯 worth a try. You will keep coming back.”

“The toasted Italian was great”

“We come to Blackers almost every Sunday for muffins, scones, cupcakes, and/or rugelach. We have nut and dairy allergies in our family, so we love that we can feel 100% safe here. Today, I got their Maple Oat Scone snd it was delicious! We’ve also gotten a couple of beautifully decorated birthday cakes! The staff are always friendly and the quality of everything has been top-notch. Highly recommend!”

“Very friendly Fast Clean Good food Good price”

“Lovely staff and delicious baked goods!”

“Great selection of yummy ice creams! The prices were pretty good and they had options other than ice cream too. The interior is super cute, but the seats up in the front window are a little dingy. Overall we loved our visit!

Parking: There’s a paid parking lot right next to it, but the parking meter didn’t work. We parked without paying but nothing bad happened on a weekend day.”

“Wow! I cannot use enough superlatives to express how ridiculously delicious their baked goods are!

All ingredients are REAL, and their banana cream pie was perfection: real banan chunks, the best pudding-filling ever, and real whipped cream, with real dark chocolate shavings and a real crusts. Phenomenal!!!!

I also got a few treats for friends.

The bakery isn’t open late, so you do have to make a point to go, but it is worth it!!!

Two parking spots right out front.

Two stairs to enter.

There is a table or two to sit inside.

Wheelchair accessibility: Two stairs”

“Excellent!!! The best in Town!!!”

“Great food and great service..👍”

“This place is amazing! I love all the toppings that you could put on your yogurt. I really like cookie Monster watermelon swirl with cereal, butterscotch, and sour crawlers on top. I sometimes add flakes of coconut for extra fun. I really thought that the cashier named Thalia was so nice, friendly and welcoming. I think all the people complaining that they didn't have enough $ need to lighten up on the amount of yogurt they take. And not blame the owner for wanting to properly run a business.”

“Five Stars all around! HOWEVER, the website is very difficult to read and manuever. Black text on a dark background made it very challenging to place an online order.”

“So I noticed that Newton has a restaurant called Coconut Cafe, and I thought it would be funny to get a picture of a Lime Bike inside the front door, because “you put the Lime in the Coconut” and all that, so I went over there today, and the place turns out to be pretty nice and I was already feeling like this wouldn’t be a particularly polite (or funny) joke, but anyway the closest Lime Bike I could find was about a block away, and when I tried picking it up to bring it over to Coconut Cafe to maybe get a “put the lime *by* the coconut” photo instead, the bike started talking to me, saying “PLEASE PAY ME A DOLLAR AND YOU CAN RIDE ME! PLEASE PUT ME DOWN OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE! THIS IS YOUR SECOND WARNING, I AM ABOUT TO CALL THE POLICE.” and I decided that this stupid joke wasn’t worth getting arrested for and at that point I was too annoyed to pay the dollar to unlock the bike to ride it a grand total of about 30 feet for a joke photo that the owner of the shop would justifiably get mad at me for anyway, so I left the bike there and just had lunch instead (Bangkok-style veggie pad thai, they told me it would take 15 minutes but then it was ready in about 1.5 minutes, so that was nice) and it was delicious. Thank you for reading my story have a nice day.”

“Very cute! It’s more of a decor store with coffee (illy coffee specifically + tea) served. There’s some small snacks available. I got the brown butter toffee late with oatmilk it was more tart from the tide but very tasty! No places to sit but the Waban hill reservoir across the street where you can walk around.

Parking: Small lot around the corner but plenty of street parking.”

“Great Service and great food”

“Cupcakes are the best! Great selections!”

“Five Stars all around! HOWEVER, the website is very difficult to read and manuever. Black text on a dark background made it very challenging to place an online order.”

“Everything was wonderful from the draft beer and regional wine to our stuffed cabbage and grape leaves. Delish!”

“This place is wonderful and great to have lunch at and takeout at work at 159 Wells Ave and could not be happier with the place. Oscar and Renee are so nice and the food is great.”

“The people are amazingly helpful. The food was so good. We had ordered a delivery from Grubhub but love to go in person.”

“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).

“Lovely staff and delicious baked goods!”

“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.”

“Everything Is So Great Here. The Hot Sausage Brings Me Back To When I Was A Kid. They Are Fantastic!!”

“I would like to express my gratitude to Blue Salt staff (with special thanks going to Igor) who made our special occasion so memorable!

“Great pizza and staff. Chef worked her buns off. A great sign.”

“I order about 4x/wk from Tatte. I love it BUT lately: A salmon sandwich was drowning in sauce, having to scrape it off and dispose of bread; a Turkey Blat had so much mayo I could not taste the turkey, and an egg order was made wrong.”

“Our server was very good. She even explained that grenadine was!
Food was delicious. We had arancini , burrata with pesto, mussels and gnocchi cacio e pepe
All dishes arrived on time.
Wonderful experience.”

“Food is great. Got a slider, and the chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while being tender on the inside.

“The chili is amazing. I can’t ever make it home without digging in on the way. Getting soup and chicken from the same place is genius, a full meal that tastes like it came from your own kitchen.”
