In my opinion, best way to do this menu is to come as a pair and pick items that you're interested in sharing! It's what my friend and I did and we left very happy and full. The pastas are all super unique and definitely worth trying. The salmon was also particularly great--it was a bit undercooked to my friend's liking but I prefer my fish a little underdone so I thought it was perfect. They really don't skimp on portions, you will be absolutely stuffed by the end! read more

Had a great experience at Pammy's for my birthday! Think: florals, cozy leather booths and wood tables, and natural lighting. Our server was extremely nice and friendly, making sure to accommodate allergies and giving us refills of bread while we waited for our dishes. Between the 2 of us, we tried 6 dishes total: Tuna crudo - very high quality fish and the citrus it was served with was a nice, refreshing touch. The cured meat on top (speck) didn't really add anything though. Rainbow carrots - both of ours' favorite dish. Very flavorful and had a unique texture of crispy silken tofu. Octopus - hands-down the best octopus I've ever had. Just so savory and flavorful. Skate wing - extremely tender with a rich, umami flavor. I wish the couscous on the side had been more flavorful too. Celery root gnocchi - solid but did not blow us away. Had a refreshing but not overly oily bit of spicyness added to the sauce, which added flavor but wasn't too much for someone bad at handling spice. Only had 8 pieces though, which was much less than the other pasta dishes we saw being served around us. Veal loin - tenderly cooked, but not very flavorful. The highlight of this dish were the potatoes that were very flavorful and well-textured: crispy on the outside and decadently soft on the inside. Overall, I would recommend this place for the ambiance, the service, and some really tasty, unique dishes. Just go in knowing that the portion sizes are quite small (even compared to similar dining experiences) for $79 per person with 3 dishes each. Our choices were even more limited to only half the menu that could be adjusted for a dairy allergy. Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Food 4/5 Value 3/5 read more

Perfect for a date night! I came here for an anniversary dinner and we had a great experience. Our server was incredibly prompt and helpful, which made it easy to enjoy the night. Even though we don't often drink wine, we decided to add the wine pairing to our dinner which was definitely the right decision. All of our dishes were unique and tasty, but my favorite was by far the buckwheat crepe with corn, cheese, and honey in it! I also liked how they added gochujang into their pasta, making for a unique and unexpected spiciness. The squid ink gnocchi was also great, but a little too salty for me. I will happily come back and try more of their dishes! read more

Overall, the food and service was good. We enjoyed our first course much more than the main course. Would prefer the option to order à la cart next time which they do not offer except in the bar. read more

On our first visit to Boston, my husband and I walked past Pammy's, which had no signage except the posted menu and the line of people waiting outside. I looked it up afterwards and bookmarked it as a special occasion place to try. We finally went for my husband's birthday and everything from the food* to the service was top-notch. I'll even go as far as saying the pasta dishes rival the best of NYC (Rezdora, Via Carota, etc.). We stuck to the pastas/proteins on the menu, thinking that would be the best bang for our buck. Here were my favorites: 1. Lumache: Loved the unique blend of bolognese and gojuchang. I had seen this dish posted a lot in the reviews/the waitress mentioned to the table next to us that this was one of their most popular choices, for good reason! It was so good that I didn't want to share. 2. Duck: I love duck but I don't see it featured as heavily on menus. Again, the combo of ingredients was something I'd never think to try on my own but worked fantastically well - cream of wheat, sunflower seed pesto, and dried strawberries. 3. Spaghetti: How did they get the heirloom tomatoes so soft and delicately sweet? I liked the burst of saltiness and the crunch from the roe. Spaghetti itself was cooked perfectly. My husband's favorites: the culurgione (a potato/cheese-based pasta that reminded me of fried dumplings) and the beef tenderloin. We got the "cheesecake" (their quotes, not mine), which was a fresh, not-to-sweet way of ending the meal. Our server, Michelle, was excellent, constantly stopping by to see how we were doing, how we liked everything, refilling waters. *I will say though that the food was extremely salty. For someone with a sensitivity to sodium, I had to get up a few times that night to guzzle water. But it was all worth it! Parking: Some street options nearby but we opted for one of the paid lots along Green Street. Put in "Cambridge Lot #9" and there are at least two choices. Just be careful to not park in the USPS lot. read more

Great food & service - our waitress was extremely friendly for our 1 year anniversary but forgot to bring us out a desert or a simple acknowledgement of our milestone despite making a note in the reservation. She gave us great tips and the food was splendid! Vibes are cool as well, especially by the fireplace! Highly recommend!! read more

Went here for a birthday dinner on a reservation, which is only for the prix fixe communal table. If you come on a weeknight, you probably don't need a reservation, since we saw some empty tables. You can get 3 dishes per person off the menu and they don't restrict you (you could get all entrees or all starters if you wanted). The ambiance is pretty nice and the place is obviously very popular. Sitting at the prix fixe menu felt a bit like sitting at a wedding reception. Service was attentive although the speed at which the food came out was middling. I had a Persephone for a drink, which is non-alcoholic, and it was delicious. It was sweet but subtle, and the ginger note was really nice. The house bread is delicious and probably one of the best parts of the meal, tbh. For food, we got the red crab, steak tartare, cauliflower tortelloni, lumache, rainbow trout, and poussin. I think my favorite was the red crab followed by the steak tartare. My husband's favorite was the steak tartare. The pasta was decent but we probably wouldn't get it again--I think there are better pasta places elsewhere. The rainbow trout dish tasted a bit off, just slightly musty but I don't know if that was a one-off. The poussin was okay, pretty tender but a lot of the dishes were just a tad bit too salty for my taste, but I fully acknowledge that my "too salty" can be another person's "perfectly seasoned." I think the starters and bread were the best, and the pasta and entrees were fine but not anything to write home about. They don't do anything special for birthday people, in case you were wondering (which worked fine for my introverted husband, who hates being the center of attention). They give you a tiny chocolate chip cookie per person when they bring out the receipt though, and ours came with a little candle, which was cute. read more

Wanted to love this place given how popular it is with friends, but it just didn't hit the spot for me. Service: First and foremost, service was great, no complaints there. Ambience: We were seated at the communal table in the middle which I like the concept of, however the chairs were a bit too close together where I was constantly getting bumped from behind despite moving several times. Food: Lumache 7/10- good bite but the sauce wasn't it for me. Was very curious to try the gochujang but it didn't quite blend in the ways I had hoped. Mafaldine 6/10- my favorite pasta shape but not much flavor besides some chili here and there. Branzino 8/10- this came steamed which was unexpected but was pretty good. The turnip cake was great. Coppa 8/10- slightly fattier than I prefer but that's just personal preference. Skate wing 7.5/10 I'll be honest I didn't realize we were eating sting ray until I noticed the difference in muscle fiber when poking at it. Took some mental adjustment, and a tad bit on the salty side but worth venturing out of the comfort zone. Overall I would still encourage folks to try. I do see why people enjoy dining here, I just admittedly have a different taste preference! The skill and ambience are both very admirable. Duck 7.5/10- cream of sour wheat was a bit too much like baby food for my taste Sourdough bread in the beginning 9/10 yum. read more

Pros: Ambiance was great, super lively on a Monday night & fast service. The food was all cooked well and had great flavor. The 3 dish $84 prix fixe ends up being a good deal considering most courses are over $30. Cons: We ordered a la carte off the menu and left hungry after eating 4 dishes (2 pasta & 2 protein). Honestly shocked the $42 veal main course gave us 3 small slices of veal - I thought there had to have been an issue in the kitchen since it was literally three bites. Would I come back? Yes? But need to be prepared for less than app sized dishes. read more

We had a beautiful and fun dinner at Pammy's in Cambridge last night. It was the best of "fussy not fussy". The menu was intriguing but a bit pretentious to the point where I was Gemini -ing some of the descriptors. But that is where the pretentiousness ended. We choose to walk in at 5, as we were going across the river to see Herb Alpert after dinner. We arrived about 2 minutes before 5, the door was locked. But at 5 pm, a line almost instantly sprung up behind us. We were greeted with genuine warmth and after taking our seat in the lounge, we proceeded to watch the entire bar and lounge fill up. The bar and lounge area has a social vibe. The restauant only offers a three course set price menu but you can order ala carte in the lounge and the bar. It was fun to see couples, small groups and a family with two young babies eating and laughing. This was great... Seated next to us were three young teenage girls. They were sipping mocktails, dipping the incredible house bread in oil, and were receiving sweet attention from the service staff. Of course I had to ask even though I knew I knew. Yep. It was the owners daughter and two friends. This took me right back to how we raised our fabulous kids in our restaurant as well. Cute. Heartwarming. So here is a rundown of our dinner. First. Two plates. Raw cobia in a gorgeous warm dashi a dab of Kosho made with fermented Buddha's hand citrus And.. Remarkable sweet bay scallops..(the New England scallops are madly delicious, pricey and limited, the Chinese ones are garbage..) laid in super thin delicata squash with half moons of Sicilian Castelvertano olives and tarragon leaves in a delicate vermouth sauce. Second. Two more plates. A poussin-a young chicken- bigger than a game hen, smaller than a fryer. It was simple prepared two ways. The leg and thigh were breaded and fried and the breast was deboned and cooked sous vide. Both were perfect, plated with a jumbo spear of white aspargus and a delicate natural sauce infused with a touch of duck liver. Squid ink gnocchi with lobster, fresh sugo and furikake. The highlight of this dish was the surprise that the furikake- a savory seasoning made with Japanese nori, salt, etc, was actually melted into the tomato sauce. This was an epiphany. I'm going to mess around with this concept. Dessert Steak tartare. Whats better for dessert, right? The menu listed at 42 day aged with lebneh and garnet yam. This was so-so. The beef was fresh and nicely cut, but it was not as tangy and bright as I hoped. The lebneh was dried to curds and folded through the tartare. The 1/2 yam was perfectly cooked but overall, the dish would have benefitted from a lil sumpin-sumpin. I missed getting a pic. The wines were perfect and the service and staff's upbeat energy was refreshing. When I see a menu that contains words that even I, with all my experience, have to look up,I feared that dreaded holier than thou server interaction. Not at Pammy's. They have figured out that rare formula of offering seriously focused and special food and wine while allowing you to be in your own living room. https://www.pammyscambridge.com read more

Delicious food and drinks in a cozy and dimly lit restaurant! Reservations are only for the pre fix menu so we did walk in on a weekday evening and had about a 20-25 min wait. The food was delicious - tried the lumache (gochujang bolognese) which was unique but our FAVORITE was the wild mushroom lasagne over spring onion chutney! The Szechuan peppercorn spiced drinks are interesting - recommend trying since they are unique! Tried the bread pudding and it was yummy - the bread is soaked in the equivalent of melted vanilla ice cream and had almost a mochi texture. The bread used in the dessert is the same bread given at the beginning which is house made and so fluffy read more

Great ambiance cute little restaurant. It's a bit difficult to get an individual table but pretty easy to get the shared main dining large table where you share with about up to 6 other couples.

We opted for "at the bar seating" to do a normal menu and it was really freaking good. You must try! read more

Pammy's is wonderful in so many ways! the food is delicious, and I love the choice of 3 items from the menu. The wait staff should give lessons on how to be a perfect server... their service was outstanding. The ambiance is delightful and new... farmhouse chic with both single tables and another long table with fresh flowers for side by side dining. The room temp was perfect... so many restaurants are too cold for me. And my favorite.. we went early so the noise level was calm enough for conversation. It was pricey but well worth the splurge. We cannot wait to return to Pammy's. read more

Had my birthday dinner at Pammys and it was a treat. They have a revolving menu filled with all sorts of creative and interesting dishes. My husband and I ordered several small plates from their a la carte menu (bay scallop crudo, cod cheeks, puntarelle, lumache, and short ribs) and each plate was tasty. The bay scallops were the highlight for me- super light and fresh tasting with little slices of grapefruit. The service was fantastic, the waitstaff are very friendly and attentive. The ambiance in the restaurant is great, there's a cozy wood burning fireplace in the center, low lighting, and exposed brick. There are a few drawbacks- the individual tables are really small and tight together, and the "small plate" portions really are small. If you're there for a full meal, you're going to need several small plates. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience that I came away from happy! read more

Underwhelming quality, soggy food, poor combinations of flavor -- ate a pasta dish that had more trite than pasta We were rushed out a minute after paying the bill, not a great or welcoming dining experience read more

Restaurant feels a bit crowded but overall cozy yet elegant. For some reason, the food service is incredibly slow and there was a 40-45 min gap in between our first and second dishes. Portion size left a little to be desired afterwards. For the price point, I think they could've been a little bigger. Overall flavors were great, ingredients were fresh. The culurgione had a vibrant explosion of sweetness and tang from the blueberries that meshed very well with the richness of the pasta and the light crunch from the corn. Malfadine was a tad bit salty, and I almost wish there was slightly more pasta in it to balance out the salt and the texture from the tripe. Black cod was excellent and the duck was perfectly cooked as well read more

I came here while in Boston for a conference and had an excellent dinner. I sat at the bar and got to see a lot of great cocktail-making throughout the evening. To drink, I started with the Appalachia Coffinmaker (bourbon, apple brandy, apple molasses, and house falernum) which was delicious and perfect for warming me up on a chilly fall night. They brought out complimentary bread and olive oil which was great to snack on. For my main dish, I got the Grilled Maitake Mushroom, which came with cauliflower porridge and a brown butter tomato sauce. It was delicious - especially the sauce was full of flavor (I believe garam masala?) I had another cocktail with my meal, which was the cocktail of the week. It was called Nostalgia, Ultra and had cacao-infused bourbon, M&R Fiero aperitivo, Punt e Mes, and mole bitters. For dessert, I got the Cheesecake which came with strawberry granita and a biscuit. The cheesecake was so incredibly smooth - it was like a pillow. Service was quick and top-notch professional throughout the night. I definitely recommend checking Pammy's out for a delicious meal in a cozy yet elegant spot! read more

Came for dinner. Interesting menu and approach, you select any 3 dishes from the 10+ listed for $79 a person. They only have 3 vegetarian dishes, but can amend certain dishes to make them vegetarian. The dishes towards the top of the menu are smaller and they increase in size as you go down the menu. If you are a big eater, I would recommend a pasta along with two of the entrees (at the bottom of the menu). Our friends did the wine pairing with it and raved about the wines. They also serve nice bread with good olive oil before bringing out the food and will happily bring you more if requested. The majority of the dishes were very good, but there were a few misses. We sampled 4 starters. The snapper crudo was light and refreshing, the bluefish was good (I am not a bluefish fan and would not order it myself, but they did it well or as well as one can prepare bluefish) but the cherries were an odd addition. The culurgione were ok, but not as described. We expected a potato pasta but it was instead more of a crispy exterior filled with melted cheese inside (nowhere was cheese mentioned in the description) served with corn and blueberries. Again, it was good, just not at all what we expected. The tomatoes and watermelon was strange texture wise, but relatively pleasant and refreshing. Not sure I would order it again given the other options on the menu. We also tried the lumache bolognese, mafaldine and black cod. All were delicious, cooked perfectly, and I would eat each again, but the mafaldine was the best dish of the night. Most interesting flavors (labneh, chili, pasta) and arguably the star of the menu. The last course was the coppa, spaghetti, duck and short rib. The coppa was the best, nice crispy exterior but tender inside. The pork was marinated well and had a nice flavor. The duck was also cooked perfectly and a nice dish overall. The short rib was cooked nicely, but was far too salty. The cheese on the plate was overpowering (reminiscent of blue cheese but a different cow's milk cheese) and did not really go with the dish in my opinion. The spaghetti was not my cup of tea as it had a strong flavor of cloves which I did not think paired well with the tomato sauce but the others enjoyed it. For dessert we ordered the mint ice cream with cherries which was a nice dish and the black tea curd was surprisingly good. The service is great and the ambiance is very nice. For the quality and creativity, I would recommend it. read more

I actually first saw Pammy's in some interesting article about Boston must-try restaurants, so it's been on the list for me to visit for quite a while - I finally had the chance to come by with a friend for a weekday dinner. Reservations are not difficult to come by, per se, but some planning is definitely required (especially if you want a good time slot on a weekend). There's basically one "meal" to order, and it's a pretty unique take on a prix fixe menu - basically there's like ~12-15 dishes and each person chooses any 3 for a fixed price. My friend and I decided to share everything so we could try a bit of 6 different things; we had the hiramasa crudo, lobster biscotto, steak ratare, lumache, lambchop, and pork milanese. Lobster biscotto was my favourite - broth rich and flavourful, and the bites of lobster so fresh and juicy and delicious. The lumache is quite popular apparently but I felt a bit odd - the mix of bolognese and gochujang was... not for me, to say the least, and frankly felt a bit forcefully (artificially) quirky. The two raw dishes - hiramasa and steak tartare - were fine, but nothing in particular to write home about, and the last two 'mains' - lamb and pork - were tasty but really quite heavy. The breading on the pork milanese in particular was just a lot, and some of the accompanying sides, like the apples-mixed-with-couscous, didn't really complement the dishes that well. Surprisingly, we were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal. Between the delicious bread and the heavy carbs in the lumache, there was actually a lot of food despite the smaller portions for many of the dishes. That being said, overall, I'm a bit ambivalent about if I'd come back or not. The food was certainly good, no doubt about it - but I'm not entirely convinced that the price was worth it. Their menu does seem to change periodically (based on some of the pictures here), so maybe it would be worth a visit to see what new dishes they're featuring! read more

Pammy's: A Disappointing Attempt at Fine Dining in an Already Underwhelming Food Scene I went to Pammy's for my birthday, hoping for something special--something that would finally stand out in Cambridge's underwhelming restaurant scene. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most disappointing fine dining experiences I've had anywhere, both in terms of food quality and overall value. Ambiance & Service: Mixed Experience The host was exceptional--friendly and professional. The space was inviting, but the lighting felt oddly scattered. Service, however, was a letdown. The waiter was defensive and dismissive, especially regarding vegetarian options. Not outright rude, but definitely lacking the attentiveness you expect at this price point. Food: Overpriced and Mediocre Pammy's relies on fancy-sounding ingredients and plating rather than actual execution. * Gochujang Pasta - Overhyped and unbalanced. * Lasagna Bianca - Strange, gooey texture; came with a sad pile of lettuce called "greens." * Squid Ink Gnocchi with Lobster - Lobster was overcooked and rubbery; the sauce was flavorless. * Fried Cruller Dessert - Looked fancy but was just a basic donut with yogurt. * Bread Service - A single slice of bread with olive oil, nothing special. Vegetarians Get a Terrible Deal For $85 per person, my vegetarian partner had only two menu choices, one being cabbage--a dish that was completely uninspired. No substitutions allowed. At a real fine dining restaurant (like Rose's Luxury in DC), cabbage can be a star ingredient. Here? It was just bland and forgettable. Trying Too Hard to Be Fancy--But Failing Pammy's throws in luxury ingredients (foie gras, oysters, tartare, truffle) as if that alone makes a place high-end. It doesn't. Fine dining is about precision, balance, and creativity--none of which we found here. Final Verdict: 3/10 Pammy's is not fine dining--it's an overpriced, style-over-substance restaurant trying to be fancier than it actually is. Boston and Cambridge overhype mediocre restaurants, and this is a perfect example. If Pammy's were in DC, SF, or NYC, it wouldn't last. I would have been happier grabbing a pizza for my birthday. read more

Very unique food - not your traditional at all. Probably a one and done spot for me. Lasagna was awesome, my friend got the cow tongue or something? And it tasted meh sort of glorified mortadella/bologna, their version of the bolognese was unique with a spicy Asian sauce used in it (tasted good but not really itching to go back for it) and finally the pork Milanese was big and cooked nicely but lacked flavor and was thicker than other Milanese's I've had. Overall food was unique and good but I personally prefer more traditional italian so not for me to go back to. read more

Excellent food. Pleasantly quiet in the bar area. Nice receptionist and friendly general wait staff. But the person who waited on our table doesn't know how to smile or make you feel welcome. Maybe we did something to annoy her? Anyway, we'll go back -- the food is truly amazing. read more

My friend from out of town and I came here for dinner on a weekday afternoon in may 2021. We made a reservation and it wasn't too crowded at 5:30pm. You are required to order from the $72 prix-fixe menu, where you can choose 3 dishes from a big list of options. I got the yellowtail crudo, the swordfish filet, and the pork chop, as I thought those were the most value items! The crudo came with a tart sauce and small bits of seasonal veggies. It was pretty small though, The swordfish was nicely browned and had a nice, mild flavor, but it was a little dry. The sauce did help a bit though. My favorite dish of the night was the Berkshire pork chop. The pork was tender and well-seasoned, and charred perfectly. However, a fairly significant part was fat and tendons, so the pork chop was actually a lot smaller than it looked, which was just a teensy bit disappointing. This is definitely a nice place that I would recommend for special occasions, such as a nice date night or fancier family dinner. Personally, I couldn't really justify the price tag for this place, but the food is indeed pretty good. read more

Literal perfection?! My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary and were treated and ate like royalty. For $69 you get to pick any three dishes, which is a difficult task, given they all sound and taste delicious. We opted for the lobster biscotto (lobster bisque), brussels salad, lumache, gnocchi and the duck. The portions are generous and you can tell a lot of thought went into the making of each dish. While everything was outstanding, our favorite was the lumache. The bolognese pairs extremely well with gochujang. we also really liked the lobster biscotto, which had a very pleasant kick to it. I tried the granny smith cocktail, which tasted like a crisp apple cider, yum. To top it off, the staff was attentive and warm, which really added to the experience. read more

This place is so delicious. While we did have to wait over an hour for a table, the food did not disappoint. I got the octopus and lumache. The lumache is was out of this world, one of the best pastas I've ever tasted. So fresh and homemade. The octopus was good as well but literally the smallest portion ever so a bit underwhelming. I loved the sourdough bread that they give for free, it was so good. I would definitely come back but just stick to the pasta. read more

Pammy's - Italian Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

This place is a must try spot! Food was delicious, vibes were great, and drinks were also yummy. In my honest opinion, if there were any Michelin guide spots in Boston, this would be one of them. With a reservation, you are able to choose 3 dishes for $75. The menu was diverse so you can have plenty of different flavors to choose from. From their website, it also says that the menu changes frequently so there's always something new to try. The staff are super friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The seafood we tried all tasted very fresh and tender. The meats were cooked well where it wasn't heavy to eat. It's a great place for a nice date/night out! read more

10/10 experience overall. Heard so much hype about this place, and hype was met!!! Wow. Delicious. Food: - fluke crude: light, refreshing, creamy with the uni but not overpowering. Perfect fishiness which comes in at the end. Could eat this all day. - Mafaldine: a very generous serving of tripe in this dish! Very nutty, perfect amount of spice and crisp with the chili oil, and little lemon strips/labneh adds some much needed acidity. Kind of reminiscent of late night cheesy ramen but ELEVATED and delicious. A bit on the heavier side but def worth a try - pork Milanese: wow. Did not expect this to be so good! Pork tenderloin mixed with pork belly, all deep fried into a scnitzel like thing, topped with citrus-y arugula and jicama salad, all atop a milky/umami/sweet jus. This was perfect - some crispiness from the fried pork and the salad, citrus perfectly balanced out the richness of the meat, and the jus adds this perfect umami flavor. So good!!!! Drinks: - goldenrod: omg I feel like I'm drinking a healthy carrot/ginger/herbal juice with just a hint of fun. Could drink forever - lonely hearts club: originally skeptical about the roasted red bell pepper (which is exactly what this drink smells like). But WOW. Soo refreshing and citrus/sour/mildly sweet in all the right ways and not too spicy either Service: our server was so wonderful and basically explained the entire menu to us haha. And gave very on point descriptions of highlights/moods of each dish! Ambiance: super cute vibes with pretty pink flower decoration, organic modern if you will. Great date spot. Music not too loud so that you're still able to have a conversation. Perfect background noise level. I'm so obsessed with this place. Can't wait to come back and try their prefix menu! read more

Food is way too salty and some of were taste weird. Hoping servers could be more helpful at the menu of explaining what's inside each dish and asking if customers have any allergies or anything that do not eat. I ordered the pekin duck which is smoked but it's raw.. I honestly threw up immediately and asking server if they can make it well done and got an answer "no" without any other helpful service.

Came here for dinner and sat at their communal table. I thought all of the food I ordered was delicious, but quite expensive for the amount of food given.

The communal table was a bit of a squeeze, but the place must be super popular since we had to reserve a couple weeks in advance! read more

4.5 starts 79 bucks for 3 courses ( on the expensive side for size of dishes, but the quality and flavor of ingredients are a fair trade off) Cool vibe inside. Outside patio youre right on mass ave so enjoy the crack heads talking to to you. I recommend to just eat inside and enjoy the AC and cool vibe. Did 3 courses Dishes: 1)BRANZINO- 5/5 unique flavors and very tender fish. Turnip cake was so good and the fermented element really added to the dish. Highly recommended! 2)LUMACHE: 5/5 very pasta was very dense and has the perfect chew. The sauce was so savory. Highly recommended! 3)PORCELET 4/5 pork was cooked perfectly with crispy skin, but was oversalted. Flavor wise there was no real pop with the other components. It was good. Just nothing to write home about. Worth trying/ but I wouldn't get it again. I will prob come here once a month and work my way through the entire menu. Highly recommended. read more

Visited here for a date night. We did a walk in and ended up getting a table. We loved the mushrooms and the lumache. I thought the wine list was also quite nice. read more
