“Ok so I am originally from nj right across from NYC. I moved up to this area a year and a half ago and have been on the hunt for a good slice everywhere. Imagine my surprise that currently my new favorite pizza place is now slice in Wakefield. It’s legit located inside a prime gas station which makes me laugh but damn their pizza, as far as I’m concerned, is the best in Massachusetts for me currently. Thin crust, quality cheese, and out of this world delicious sauce and they give u ample. If you like nyc pizza come here. You can tell the main dude in their really takes pride in his food. Not to mention one slice here equals two normal slices so you can get half a pie and a drink for like 8 bucks and considering I’ve paid 25 for a drink chips and burger at a place like five guys, the 8 bucks is a steal.Dietary restrictions: If ur dietary restrictions are really just based on a diet to lose weight you probably only come a cheat day cause ur gna end up housin the pizza and calzones.“
“I've tried Ernesto's North End on two occasions. The first time I ordered pizza by the slice which was reheated to order. The second occasion I ordered a whole pizza which they made to order. The fresh pizza was much better than the pizza by the slice. The whole pizza took under 10 minutes to make. The crust was perfect and crunchy without the flop. The cheese and ricotta cheese topping was a little thick and kept falling off. But overall very good pizza. I'd say 5 star for the fresh made pizza and 3 star for the pizza by the slice. Workers were very friendly and the pizza with toppings was about $27 which was very reasonable.“
“The food here is amazing, like really the food is incomparable to anything else. everything on the menu is 10/10 and the people are so friendly and so kind. They are so charismatic and talkative and make you feel very at home. There’s not enough stars to give them :)“
“Last night, went to Prezza for the first time. Was excited because I love its sister restaurants,Tonno Gloucester and Tonno Wakefield.Short walk from North Station and the Garden! Beautiful restaurant! The staff are superb! Polite and friendly and on point! We had the meatballs, tuna crudo, and crispy shrimp ? for appetizers. Fabulous! No pictures. We ate them too quickly. For dinner, we ordered crispy pork, tomahawk veal chop and tagliatelle Bolognese. So good! For desserts we had flourless chocolate cake and a special bread pudding in whiskey sauce! Great restaurant for a date or a chance to catch up. Tables are not on Top of each other and restaurant is quiet compared to other great North End spots!“
“I was dejected from having the displeasure of a quite frankly awful experience at a putrid spanish restaurant down the street. I had decided to come here in a pinch to satiate my growing hunger, and it did not disappoint.The waiter was helpful and nice, and the environment was quite lovely. I was seated in a booth with my group, and I ordered the New york Bianca with Italian sausage and hot honey. The pizza was absolutely delicious and I couldn't recommend more. The other pizzas looked great as well.I can not speak on the appetizers as we did not order any. However, they looked good too.5/5“
“I work at Mount Auburn Hospital as an ER nurse. With their kindness and generosity, donated and had food sent to all ER Staff on 3/23/2020 at around 21:30-22:00. I just want to say thank you very much for all your generosity (especially on this tough times).“
“It was a brisk Saturday night and I took the lady out for a dish of pasta. I put on my finest linens and prepared to embark on date night. We arrived at Daniella's. We started with the muscles ??, then I enjoyed the Sunday sauce while the Mrs treated herself to the chix, broccoli and ziti..oh yea and you can't forget the mushroom risotto..mangia!! Dinner was delightful from start the finish.“
“I freaken love this place! It’s located in a corner of a Main Street in Saugus so you can’t miss it!! Pizza is always on point, topped with fresh vegetables and the crust is crispy. Tonight, I decided to get the chicken Alfredo with broccoli..oh man! it hit the spot. Tortellini pasta was aldente!! If you are in the area, stop by! They are always busy but food and customer service is always sooo great and most importantly consistent. Prices and portion matches the quality of food .“
“This little place has some of the best most affordable Italian cuisine on the North side of Boston! I was visiting Boston for the first time and decided to go here for my anniversary dinner! The chicken limon was delicious cooked perfectly a top a bed of homemade pasta with artichokes and spinach. The stuffed mushrooms were delicious and the lobster clam chowder was delectable ?“
“I ordered three pizzas from here and they were fresh and delicious!!! The crust was thin on the bottom and not too fat around the edge. It also wasn't overly salty. I will definitely go back. The owner was very friendly! It was also an easy place to pick up my order by car.“
“Nice rooftop views, good for a group dinner. Limited menu with pretty standard American food. Had the onion dip, jalapeño-bacon croquettes, & fish tacos. The tacos were meh but I'm rarely impressed by tacos. Liked the dip itself but didn't like how we given normal waffle fries with the dip rather than the potato waffles I had seen in pics. The croquettes were my favorite--very cheesy with a kick of spice. Friendly and fast service.“

“I love this place for their vibrant bowls packed with flavor and fresh veggies! Their sauces complement each bowl so well and they are incredibly filling. I love the Buddha and Adventure bowl. Their butternut squash bisque and smoothies are also amazing! This is a great place for a quiet, fast casual meal that you know will be delicious and good for you.Vegetarian options: This place is completely veganDietary restrictions: Great for low carb, gluten free, vegan/vegetarian“
“Love this place! The chicken pesto Panini is my absolute go-to—it's so flavorful and satisfying. The customer service here is top-notch too. The owner is super friendly, always greets me by name, and makes me feel right at home. It's those personal touches that keep me coming back for more!“
“Been going to this specific Chick fil A location for years with my family almost once a week. Absolutely the best location in the Massachusetts area. Lovely staff and environment, drive thru is always quick and efficient, and parking is easy and accessible. Love you Chick fil A. Best chicken ever.“
“not pictured is a ham, egg and cheese on a plain bagel which was so good! mom and fiance both loved their breakfast. our server was lovely. restaurant was clean. would definitely return for breakfast. only downside to here is there's not a lot of parking“
“Wonderful! Eat all the meats and have some salad too. The food selection at the bar was good and a great selection. The rack of lamb was my favorite.Great place for socializing with great food and drinks.Vegetarian options: Full salad bar with beans, fruits, and veggies“
“Hands down! This is the best middle eastern food you can get. Great hospitality, friendly staff. Price over value is very good. All food items including the salads are great. I tried the whole roasted chicken, and I’m speechless. اكل اسكندرااااانى يا ناااس والاتحاد سيد البلد“
“Living out of state it’s hard to help family out when they are in the hospital. This will be my forever go to! They delivered outstanding food to my sister! Her and my niece thoroughly enjoyed it.The best part! My sister is going blind. She couldn’t go down to meet them and the hospital wouldn’t let them up (who knew) they came back when my niece got there. Way above and beyond.They delivered a sandwich, pizza and the pear salad! I was drooling here down South.Thank you thank you!“
“We have ordered Work Hard Eat Good multiple times for catered work events and let me tell you, our employees don't get this excited for any other caterers! The jerk chicken and the mango salsa go SO well together, and the plantains are a lovely sweet treat too. The owners are down-to-earth and very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend trying them out!“
“It is the best tourist trap that locals go to...skip tasty burger or shake shack in Harvard Sq and just go to Mr Bartleys for a superior burger at a very similar price pointBiggest issue is no public restroom for a sit down place, but its the city's fault not the business“
“OMG! This place was awesome!!! Came here for lunch and what a gem! Love the atmosphere and decor of a small diner. Service was excellent and the food was so fresh and delicious. Parking is a bit trickery because of the location. We actually parked in the CVS parking lot and walked across. But definitely if in the area make sure to stop in. Only place to find Crazy Noodles which my husband couldn't stop talking about. Mixture of large noodles with fresh veggies.“
“As always our meal at Dovetail was spot on. I had the snapper and my wife the scallops. Bother dishes were thoughtfully prepared, attractive and very tasty. We've been fans for years and have never been disappointed in our meals at Dovetail or their sister restaurant, Brewers Fork.“
“With breakfast being my favorite meal, I am always looking for something savory and sweet.My friend and I did a little trading of French toast. The Fire king and banana bread french toast were both flavorful and different in their pens. The fire king had cinnamon swirl in the batter. The banana bread french toast was the perfect combo.For the savory, you can go wrong with the classic: eggs, bacon, potatoes (and hash browns, we split those too) and toast.Definitely will get back!“
“Everyone has been raving about this place so while I was getting a sticker across the street I went in and got a small Italian. It is very hard to get a real Italian Sub anymore. This sandwich was amazing and their bread tasted very good. I ate half of it there and took the other half home. While I was eating the owner gave me a small piece of Sicilian pizza and a meatball to try out! They make their own meatballs. Both were great. I can't wait to go back and I will definitely be ordering take out from them.Parking: There are a few spots in front. The parking lot is behind the building.“
“All I can say is Lobster Roll with Butter.. LORT... Impressive with the amount of lobster they give in that meal alone. Local IPA complements well with that roll.Striped Bass is absolutely amazing the way it melts on your tongue.Atmosphere: busy and comfy... mind you, it's a popular spot, so expect a full house and a wait (I believe we waited 40 minutes in a line outside that wrapped around the block)The experience and the food are worth while- the staff I can not say enough about their energy and service.HIGHLY recommended while in Boston“
“Staff and service is speedy & great! Not many vegetarian options including protein though, vegetarians need protein too!! They keep the front outside seating part of the restaurant clean and tidy but the playground side w/ the hedges is always FULL of cigarettes butts & trash.“
“Awesome place for a little hole in the wall. Website didn't work to order but phone order was fast and easy. Pretty cheap prices for the generous portions and awesome taste. The steak and cheese calzone was amazing and their subs are to die for.“
“We dined early at Bar ‘Cino this evening. It's Restaurant Week, and this place offered three courses for $36; there were lots of choices in all three courses, so we decided to try it. Restaurant Week pre-fixe menus are a mixed bag; many restaurants fail to put their best foot forward in their effort to attract new diners. But tonight's experience was quite the opposite. Among the three of us, we ordered a romaine and kale Caesar, meatballs in polenta and sweet potato frittela first, followed by chicken Milanese, braised pork shoulder and grilled salmon. We closed a vanilla panna cotta and a couple of lemon cakes topped with strawberry mousse. All of the firsts and mains were very good, and some — the meatballs, chicken and pork — were excellent. Unlike many other restaurants running pre-fixe promos, Bar ‘Cino did not skimp on anything. The plates were all generous and in some cases (the meatballs, Caesar and chicken), they were enormous. The desserts were nothing to write home about; they seemed almost institutional in their ordinariness. But whatever, we'd already eaten, frankly, too much. We had a terrific server, Joseph, who was friendly, helpful, personable and relaxed. We enjoyed his repartee. But other aspects of the service were uneven. As common as slow service tends to be, especially in crowded restaurants, it's highly unusual that the service is too fast. But tonight's courses definitely came out too quickly, with virtually no time between them to catch our breath. Plus, the food runner essentially brought the dishes to the table and placed them anywhere there was room — not even placing the wrong choice in front of each diner. It's not that it was a hardship to place the dishes in front of each diner ourselves, but it's not what you dine out for. In all, a wonderful meal and experience. Will definitely be back.“

“The company I work for used Home Town Pizza for a company lunch and the food was so good I decided to call and plan a lunch for my own team. The owner right away took care of me and after giving a budget and an idea of what I was looking for, he made it made it happen and made the process super easy for me. Kept in touch with me, offered a variety of options, the food got delivered on time, checked in to make sure we liked the food and that we had enough, and most importantly, everything looked great, was delicious and the team was happy. I definitely recommend Home Town Pizza and will be using their services again. Thank you again for being so attentive, you did not disappoint!“
“We went to Orinoco a little under an hour before closing. We were seated immediately and the waiter was very attentive. We had hoped to eat some arepas but they were out of them. I recommend getting here earlier if that's what you're craving. We ended up getting the empanada trio, the Pabellon Criollo (which I did not realize also had plantains), the maracuchitos and the tostones. Yes, all the plantains in the menu. It kind of happened by accident but it worked out great. We got our food incredibly fast! Everything was delicious. However, the tostones and the empanadas were my favorite. I also had a maracuya juice, which was sweet and refreshing. We really liked our waiter, we was very nice and attentive. I wish I remembered his name to give him a shout out. I really enjoy the food from Orinoco. Historically, I had only gone to the restaurant in the South End but I'm glad to see the one at Harvard Square maintains the same flavors. I can't wait to be back for arepas.“
“I moved to the area about six months ago and Meridian has been my go-to lunch place - I cannot recommend it enough. The food is incredible (especially the chicken caesar, Meridian special, meatballs and chicken limon) but literally everything I’ve tried is incredible. Very homey inside as well!“
“My daughter and I enjoyed our meal. Joann was an amazing waitress. We tried the pumpkin raviolis, we felt that was more like a desert than an appetizer, it was delicious! I had the cheese lasagna and meatball, my daughter had the fettuccine Alfredo and both were delicious.“

“Food was really good here! They cooked the chicken very well. I've been here twice already and the staff have been friendly and patient. Never had to wait too long for the food to be served (usually 10 minutes with other customers present). Everything on the menu is halal. Parking is convenient with a garage next door that allows up to 3 hours of free parking. Will definitely be visiting again!“
“Ive been coming to Noor for the past two years since I live locally and it quickly became one of my favorite places to eat at - of all time.My go to order is the beef shawarma plate on a bed of fries, a side salad and *extra* garlic sauce. 11 times out of 10 it hits the spot. The food is cooked to perfection and they take pride in how they serve their customers.The crew who work there are all top notch, they take notice of frequent flyers and treat you as a friend when you walk in the door. An absolute must try if you are in the area or love Mediterranean cuisine.“
“Among the wealth of “bowl” places in HSq, Cava is undoubtedly the fav. Their selection of delicious and convenient Greek inspired bowls have kept this grad student running on many late nights, and their staff are so sweet it’s usually with a smile. Among the staff I especially want to give my appreciation to Mike for the great banter and service :)“
“Who would think that a hole in the wall pizza shop serves some of the best Greek food in Watertown. Don't get me wrong. There are some fierce competitors, But Johnnie's definitely holds their own. They also serve, hands-down, the biggest calzone I've ever had.“
“I have grown to consider Mothership as a solid option of the past few months! I'm glad to see new items on the menu and look forward to have a much better menu option in the future. The food is good overall but the menu is limited to certain items. I recommend this place to be added to anyone's list of restaurants in Cambridge.“
“I was so excited to see a Vietnamese restaurant open up in Davis! The interior is so cute and cozy. Super welcoming and warm place to have a meal or sit with a coffee. Their matcha coconut coffee is yummy and unique - it’s been a repeat purchase for me. The chicken wings were also great - a good size with lots of meat and crispy. We got the crispy chicken noodle bowl and the lemongrass chicken noodle bowl with a fried egg roll. The meat was well seasoned, super flavorful. Having grown up eating Vietnamese food all my life, I was missing the traditional herbs like mint and basil that usually come with vermicelli bowls, but the meat was so flavorful it really carried the dish. I also prefer fish sauce that is more pungent and rich, and the one they have is definitely less concentrated. It lended what I thought was a lighter and more fresh take on a traditional Vietnamese vermicelli bowl. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant! But if I was recommending to people who are familiar with Vietnamese food, I’d probably also tell them it’s slightly different from what they might expect.“
“Fantastic pizza joint. The dinning area is a little dark for me, but there is some cool sports art around it. We visited Halftime due to a high recommendation via online reviews and it did not disappoint. The pizza sauce to me had a slight kick to it creating a nice flavor. We ordered at the counter quickly and the slices came right out. Highly recommend if you're looking for format tasting pizza.“

“Life Alive is part of a plant based dining chain focused on nutrient dense dishes and seasonal ingredients. Each dish feels super healthy yet delicious and doesn't leave me feeling heavy after eating it. There is a nice variety of flavors available on the menu and the only item I've tried and not liked is the acai bowl. Prices are a bit high but I'll definitely be back in the near future.“
“Only just realized I've been coming here for 10+ years but have yet to leave a review. Small, family owned business with love & effort put into everything coming out of the kitchen. Great spot for breakfast & lunch during the week. Highly recommend a breakfast sandwich in the AM or a spicy pork plate for the afternoon! Love supporting Bonne Chance Cafe, thanks ya'll.“
“I got take out and sat in my car outfront where i am typing this review. The woman at counter was a sweetheart and they have a solid deal for a couple slices drink and a snack which i didnt see and she offered me. I got two slices of the buffalo chicken pizza and it was without a doubt the best buff chic slice ive ever had. Im a big santarps and bianchis guy but this place rocks just as hard and ill be back again to get a lg buff chic and see what else they have going on. Brownie was good too.“
“I really fell in love with the sushi bomb roll. I ordered it from DoorDash with some vegetables rolls & both were great. It was my first time trying sushi as well from an actual restaurant so it was very Good to me. The sushi was 15 dollars & the rolls were 5 dollars in my opinion it was totally worth it. I’m going to bring my family there one of these days to try out other stuff they have.“
“SOooo much better than chipotle! Everything super flavorful & great portion sizes!! Today was my first time trying them, I’m from the south so we don’t have this particular brand at home. So glad I did try them, will definitely be my new go to! Service was super fast too.“
“When I popped into Mike's for a quick roast beef, I wasn't expecting anything special. I eat a lot of roast beefs and have high standards. I have to say, Mike's impressed me. The beef was massive, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was somehow better than it normally is. I highly recommend everyone who likes roast beef give Mike's a shot.“
“Adding yet another great review for another year in a row! Brought a big group of 14 for a birthday and everything from the service to the food was superb. The staff here seems to always go out of their way for us and the space is the perfect blend of trendy with not too expensive. The piri piri is spicy and delicious, and the butternut soup was great as well“
“Really nice sub and pizza place. So far, I've always ordered online for delivery, which comes fairly quickly and on-time. My favorite sub is the egg salad, which a lot of sub shops don't offer. Their pizza is very good as well. Prompt service great food and very equitable pricing is making the my go-to place, even though there are several others that are closer to my house!“
“Everything was very fresh. But I was extremely disappointed ? 1 - they didn't put spicy salmon in the bowl, only regular, 2 - there was no flavor on the side. There was no rush of the staff - there was only one customer in the cafe and there was only my order for takeaway. How can you forget two ingredients in one order - I sincerely don't understand. Because of this, the feeling from the whole dish remained sad. There was no time to go back when I discovered the flaws. That's the sad experience I had today. The staff was friendly. I have no complaints about that.“
“I absolutely love this spot. The staff are so friendly and happy to serve delicious food. Portions are generous. A few faves have been the chicken parm, their chicken tenders, the chicken broccoli Alfredo pizza and essentially any of their pizzas in general! Family Pizza Dough will continue to be a regular Sunday afternoon trip for us.“
