    Rigatoni Vodka

    Had a nice early dinner with a girl friend! Parking on the street and in the back, I love that they have the options. We had reservations on OpenTable and was seated quickly. The host was very kind and pointed to the table for us. Us girls funnily had the same exact drink and meal, the server loved it Our server was super sweet and friendly, a local who enjoyed her job! I wish I got her name. We both had the Riesling and Vodka Pasta. Decent wine list and great menu. The vodka pasta had their own twist to it that would not say is normal but it was still very good. The portion was huge, I got two meals out of it! I will for-sure come again for another meal!

    My husband came here for Mother's Day and he can't stop talking about the chicken Marsala. He loved their sauce and plenty of it. He hates when a restaurant skimps on sauce. He said we have to come again when we are up that way. We live in RI now. I had the short rib w potatoes and veg. Very tender and delish

    Tuscan Ravioli

    I had the pleasure of visiting Gaetanos for the first time on valentine day 2025. Simple &Classy place. Not overwhelmingly loud or packed which I loved . The service was fast attentive but not overbearing . 10/10 . The bread was yummy , and they have butter and on the table ,-oil ,parm cheese pepper flakes ect . Now for the food...,, I am still thinking about this dish a month later . I got the Tuscan ravioli and it was simply one of the best pasta dishes I've had in my life . The Tuscan consists of "Eggplant, roasted red pepper, black olive, and Romano cheese-filled ravioli in a fresh tomato, basil, and garlic cream sauce." Truly divine... if I didn't live an hour away I seriously would go multiple times a week. The potion was nice and hearty , and it was only 20$... my partner got the same thing as I, and had the same reaction. We ended up spending around 43$ pre tip for a beautiful tasty filling Valentine's Day what could be better than that????? HIGHLY recommend Gaetanos . 10/10 in every aspect .

    It was my birthday today, and we thought let's try Gaetanos. Let me start by saying that the food was excellent. However, the service sucked. When we walked in the host was very unfriendly, almost like don't bother me. We got seated, and the next chapter starts. We ordered a couple of Martinis (They were good). To get into the B-Day celebration mood. In less then 5 minutes the waitress came to take our order. We told her that we were in no rush. A few minutes later the bread and butter arrived. My wife and I started to enjoy our Marti nis. Write had beauty taken a few sips and the food arrived. I was expecting to finish our Marinis before the food. Ok. It is my birthday, and I wanted some wine with my meal. I am glad I didn't ordered a bottle. Next thing we know, we have our Martini, the food and the wine. It was clear that the waitress was trying to get us out of there as quickly as possible. We had mentioned that it was my birthday and they brought us the birthday cake and song for me. But we still had our Martinis and wine. We asked if they had Cappuccinos or Maciatos. The waitress said that they just have regular coffee - In an Italian restaurant! Give me a break. The waitress lied, because we got our Capuchinos. We still had our Martinis, wine and now the Capuchinos. We were in and out in less than an hour. They literally pushed us out of there. We should have gone to Angelo's, Escadrille, or Lucia's

    Always great service , food and ambience!! Lots of food!!! Martinis are delicious especially if your name is Martini!!!!!!!

    Steak pasta

    We celebrated my daughter's graduation on Saturday afternoon. I had a reservation for 17. We ordered off the menu, appetizers, drinks and everyone's meal came out within a reasonable amount of time. The food was excellent and this was repeated by everyone who ordered whatever they wanted. I should say that everyone raved about their meal. The waitress, Jaime was phenomenal. She was so nice and accommodating. She was always prompt serving food and drink and did not rush us to order or leave. I have eaten at Gaetanos on a few occasions so I knew the food was great but this day far exceeded my expectations.

    Raspberry mule!

    I went tonight for the first time to Gaetano's and it was amazing!! The service was extraordinary. I had made a reservation ahead of time for a friend and myself and we were seated right away. We had a friendly waitress who was personable and who didn't give us any dirty looks for asking for more bread! I had the penne gaetano and the sauce was divine! The penne and chicken with tomatoes, basil, and cheese were delicious. I had a raspberry mule too. I will definitely be back!

We ordered the Pan de…read moreCasa, Pan con Tomate, Dátiles, Albondigas, Croquetas de Jamon, Solomillo, and Churros for dessert and honestly every single dish was a winner. The pacing was perfect. Every 5-10 minutes a new dish would arrive, which made the whole meal feel like a fun, festive experience. No long waits, no awkward gaps, just great food flowing steadily to the table. The Pan de Casa and Albondigas were the clear crowd favorites. My parents are in their 60s and adventurous eaters, and they were absolutely blown away. My dad couldn't stop raving about the meatballs! A huge shoutout to Kayla, our server, who was attentive, warm, and made the whole evening feel special. Sunday is a great night to go, relaxed vibe, great service, and the kitchen is clearly on point. T'ahpas 529 is a gem in Melrose. We will absolutely be back!

    I hate writing this review, its been many years coming, but I honestly thought I wrote it years…read moreago, but somehow it just popped up in my "Please review" section of Yelp, so here I am... So I visited T'ahpas many years ago - date night dinner, left the kids at home & wanted adult food and Tapas were becoming all the rage at the time. Read good reviews, got there, small place, quaint, really good atmosphere, we began ordering food and OMG did we order sooo much, we liked a few things so much we ordered multiple plates, Im talking total fat kid night... Then we are sitting there and it was later at night so the place was empty and instantly I FREEZE - My BF at the time looked at me and noticed panic, he knew exactly what I saw from my reaction - there was a mouse in the dining room, now listen, I GET IT.. All restaurants have them, I wasnt even grossed out like that, THEY ARE MY BIGGEST fear in life, like if someone said Heres a million dollars be in a room with a mouse, I would have to pass! That scared, I dont know why - just am!!! So I exhaled and sat there... it started to run closer, it then disappeared and I slowly was able to unclench and then it came back like 20 mins later, this mouse was ballsy, like there are people walking around in & out and I just couldnt anymore. We got the bill and left, and I told many people and they said I should have complained on the spot but that just isnt me... Im just mad because the Food was GOOOOOOOD... I want to go back but a part of me is just like Nope, Not going to happen! So my take, the food is great, better than great! Hoping it was a one off situation and not a regular occurrence but I would love to come back, Im just a big pussy!

    Tremonte Restaurant & Bar - award winning egg batteries shrimp sautéed lightly in a gran manier sauce

    3.6(192 reviews)

    $$

    I don't understand some of the hate in the reviews. Looking for a nice restaurant while we were in…read morethe area, we almost passed on Tre Monte because of the negativity. However, the bartender at another place said that it would be the place he would go, and I've learned that the recommendation of a bartender is worth more than any amount of reviews on Yelp. We showed up just at opening, sans reservations, on a Saturday evening (12/7). There was already a line at the door, which is a good sign about the food, but we wondered if we would be able to get a table. The fear was unfounded, as the hostess graciously showed us to a table and dropped menus. Our server, Christina, took our drink order, and was very apologetic that they didn't have onions for Bestie's gibson. No worries - olives work just as well. She came back with our cocktails, recited the specials, and we asked her to give us time to enjoy our drinks; we'd flag her down when we were ready to order. The menu is a great selection of Italian cuisine, balanced with a few standards. We took our time with our cocktails (the martinis were perfect, by the way) and Christina came right over when asked her about wines. She apologized for us not having a wine list, and returned immediately with one (some excellent bottles in their cellar, and a great selection by the glass). Bestie decided right away on the Shrimp Gran Manier [sic], egg-battered shrimp in an orange-flavored sauce, as an appetizer. I fell in love with the Melazana, breaded eggplant with marinara and cheese, covered in a creamy pesto sauce. For entrees, I picked a simple sauteed chicken, covered with prosciutto and cheese, while the rack of lamb caught her fancy. Christina came right over when we were ready to order, and congratulated us on our choices. We were able to watch the kitchen as they worked. Both of us, having a lot of experience in the industry, marveled at how well the staff worked together in the tiny space. It wasn't long before our appetizers arrived, and they were as delicious as they sounded on the menu. As soon as Christina cleared the empty plates away, she returned immediately with our entrees (which we saw were plated just as she headed to the kitchen area). Bestie's lamb was perfect. She had a choice of two sides, and she picked an herbed polenta and grilled vegetables. I accompanied my chicken with a gratin of potatoes, and sauteed spinach with garlic. We took our obligatory pictures and dug in. Needless to say, there was no conversation while we ate, with the food taking all of our attention. Bestie's lamb was cooked perfectly, with a generous portion, My chicken was flavorful, with the right balance between the sauce and the meat (I have a love/hate relationship with cheese - I like a lot of it, but not when it overpowers what's under it). To finish things off, we ordered coffee and cannolis, something light to balance the richness of the dinner. Both were delicious. When it came time to settle our check, Christina was right over. I am so glad that we listened to the bartender and not the reviews. Our experience here was the highlight of our weekend in this area.

    We were regular takeout customers. The recent rudeness of the young lady taking our order…read morecompletely changed our opinion of this restaurant. We would overlook inconsistency in the food, but draw the line at outright discourtesy.
