This pizza place will knock your socks off! It has a prime location, close to transit and hotels but feels very local. I ordered two slices of the special and my wife order a pepperoni and a garden salad. The pizza and salad were magnificent. It might be the best pizza I've had ever. The special was pepperoni, ricotta, hot honey, and basil, it was booming with flavors and made to perfection. The salad was as if they picked all the produce as they were making it; it was so fresh! The service was on par with the food. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! The restaurant is small but inviting and there are maybe 5 tables inside. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great slice! read more

The food was absolutely incredible. When plans fell through and we were in need of a place for dinner but everything was too busy this place got us some of the best pizza I've had and it was served before I even got to my table. Servers were friendly and not just customer service friendly. They felt genuine and caring. I have always loved corner pizzerias, three or four tables only and seeing them tossing the dough in the back. This place struck a great balance of great quality, easy availability, and great customer care read more

GrubHub is probably the worst possible way to rate any dining experience, but if you pass that test, you know it's good food. I ordered this for our family to eat at the hotel after a long drive into Boston for a weekend trip, and enjoyed the fact it arrived hot and crispy. We got simple fare, cheese and a white, and I would love to try this fresh one day right out of the oven. read more

Had a great dinner here tonight with friends. We ordered the senza nome pizza, a Caesar salad, and I got a slice of cheese. The food was absolutely delicious - great flavor on the red sauce and a crust that holds up to toppings. The Caesar salad was super fresh, a nice light dressing and olive oily croutons that were to die for. The service was very friendly as well, feels like a hometown place in downtown boston. Will definitely be back! read more

Not only is the owner amazing and one of the best people you've ever met, but everything is scratch made and absolutely delicious. This can very legitimately go toe to toe Regina's, Ernesto's, etc.. It's probably even better. If you were in the north end looking for pizza you should do yourself a favor and come to Rustico. My personal favorite is the pepperoni. It's loaded with those little cups the sauce's house made and so vibrant and fresh. The dough is amazing. You literally can't go wrong. Avoid the tourist traps and get some of the best pizza in the city of Boston. read more

My favorite lunch spot around. I walk a long time in the rain sometimes to get these sandwiches. The chicken parm, meat ball, and bidabeep sandwiches are insane! One of the best chicken Parms in Boston hands down. My favorite meatball sub around, and the bidabeep with the fresh mooz and procuitto is light but great. They guy who works here is always super friendly too. People seem to like the pizza a lot the Sicilian looks so good, but it's like 5$ a slice... I was born in the 90s so I can't bring myself to try it yet. I want to try their calzones sometime but I think they don't do individuals anymore. read more

We wanted a casual dinner in the neighborhood and ended up at Pizzeria Rústico for slices of pizza. Amongst us, we had a few slices of regular pepperoni pizza and Sicilian-style margherita pizza. The pepperoni slice was okay but the margherita was pretty mediocre - the slices were on the hard/tough side which might have been related to how long our slices were heated. We took our slices to go but when I felt the box, it wasn't warm and after a five minute walk back, the slices were lukewarm at best. Slices were each about $5. read more

I can't believe more people don't know about this place! As a native New Yorker and picky eater, I know a thing or two about pizza. I have been coming here for about a year and a half now, typically taking a meatball ricotta pizza to go. The crust is baked to your liking, the tomato sauce is balanced, and the toppings are not overly salty or flavorless. As Goldilocks would say, this place is just right! The pizza is light and won't leave you feeling ill. I recently started getting slices to go and what a game changer. I can get four different types of pizza in one visit. All fabulous by the way. However I can't speak for the other food as I've only had their pizza. Above all, the owner is a good guy who is passionate about his small business. I would encourage anyone and everyone to stop by for a slice or 10! read more

Second time there this week! I think they changed owners during COVID. Menu is different. You have a good amount of options in the menu (salads, sandwiches, pizza, calzone, and breakfast options). Tried the Sicilian pizza (thick dough), was really good! I'm not a fan of thick pizza but as I never tried Sicilian I thought "why not?" and was definitely a win. Today I had the meatball sub.... Amazing, like homemade by your Nonna (grandma in Italian), perfect temperature, meatballs and Mariana sauce were super tasty and abundant. You have to try it!

Vietnamese cuisine is traditionally rooted in affordability, sharing an abundance of food, and enjoying good laughs with great company. By trying to force the concept into a high-end parallel, it just ends up feeling mediocre and hollow. The value simply isn't there--a single appetizer, one main entree, and three refreshments came out to a whopping $105. To make matters worse, the service was incredibly judgmental. Because our party of three only ordered that amount, the staff pretty much ignored us for the rest of the night after taking the order. The awkwardness started the absolute second we sat down. Before we could even settle into our chairs or get handed a menu, the waiter demanded to know what we wanted to drink. When we asked to see a menu first, he looked completely confused as to why we'd need one. After another staff member finally took our order, we sat there waiting for what felt like an eternity. When the food eventually arrived, they gave us sharing plates and chopsticks. We asked for a spoon to properly eat the claypot rice, and the waiter gave us another judging look. As Asians, we obviously know how to use chopsticks, but you objectively need a spoon to scoop the claypot SAUCE out of the pot! While the food itself is decent, the cramped atmosphere, poor hospitality, and inflated price tag mean I won't be rushing back. I might grab take out for the dumpling platter and cat fish rice pot but definitely not sitting in again.

We typically enjoy supporting restaurants and are happy to tip generously when the service reflects the experience. Unfortunately, this visit fell far short of expectations. After several attempts to give the new location a chance, we've decided this will likely be our last visit. It's disappointing because we genuinely loved Posto for many years and had hoped the new location would capture some of what made the original so special.

I started with the grapefruit cocktail, followed by the hamachi crudo and the lobster roll. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The hamachi crudo was especially impressive, and the lobster roll was everything you'd hope for when dining in Boston. The service was excellent, the food was outstanding, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. Salty Girl definitely deserves its high ratings, and I'll be back the next time I'm in town.

It took two and a half hours. We watched two tables change next to us. Wrong food brought out, cocktail orders not taken took 3 tries and 45 minutes. Water never refilled and on an on Service was so bad I feel I was being profiled for wearing a world cup jersey. The food is pointless in the experience at this point.

Row 34 in Seaport seriously blew me away. I've had oysters in a lot of places but this one is on…read moreanother level. We tried 4 different types and every single one tasted super fresh, clean, and just really high quality. You can tell they know what they're doing here, even the way they shuck it is nice and clean, no shell pieces or anything. Their menu actually has like 10+ kinds of oysters, highly selective and premium. I really wish we had more time (and stomach space) to try more. But we already had like 3 dinners planned that night lol so this was more like a "stop by and eat as much oysters as possible" situation. Honestly I'm pretty sure the other food here is just as good, based on what I saw on other tables. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Boston.

First time here. We got the lobster roll. And while, sure, the menu said the pricing was 'MP'…read more(meaning Market Price, or...based upon current market conditions)...and while, sure, we didn't ASK what the price would be, on that day, I still think it would have been nice if the waitstaff voluntarily offered up that detail. (I'm certain the staff are aware that many of their diners express shock, once the price is disclosed...) Many folks simply make an assumption or a guesstimate, as to the price, when they see 'MP' on a menu, and this is usually based upon their prior experiences, ordering such a menu item. So, for example, I was thinking the lobster roll might be in the $40-45 range. So imagine my utter shock, when we received the bill, to see a charge for $69?? I have never in my life had such an expensive lobster roll. Yes, it was delicious, and the housemade potato chips were also great. The slaw was also good (though it was a very tiny amount...I would have liked more). But boy, did that price shock me. I would normally never have voluntarily ordered a $69 lobster roll. It simply never would have occurred to me, that a place would ever charge that much....

Sail me to the moon with the Clam Chowder they make here!…read more Our first stop on a food tour, we came in for the legendary Clam Chowder. It was an absolute treat to say the least. Thickest, most seasoned, and most delicious Clam Chowder I've ever had. I wanted a second one but knew we had more on our tour to enjoy so I had to resist. In one of my photos attached, the spoon stands straight up in the mug! Incredible! The other food getting served around us looked great too. Definitely adding this to our "come back to" list when we visit Boston again.

Our plan was to sit outside at a table on their SIDEWALK area with my 10lb dog in her stroller, but the hostess said, with an attitude, no dogs allowed in the patio area. Patio area? You mean the sidewalk? Isn't the sidewalk a public area? We were confused. We tried to clarify because maybe he was confused? But no, he said no again. My mom was hungry so we opted to get a bowl of chowder to go and we put our name down at the restaurant next door who was UBER dog friendly and even gave my girl a dog bone when we checked in, and lots of pets. Anyways the clam chowder should be renamed to dill chowder because dang, why so much! And hardly any clam, mostly potatoes. Not a fan of the policy or the chowder, would not recommend

We walked in without reservations and they were fully booked for the night, but they do have bar seating and a couple of side tables where you can grab a quick bite from the full menu. The ambiance is a 10/10. The decor is insane in the best way. The red chandeliers are stunning, the bar setup is perfection, and the low lighting with the table centerpieces really ties everything together. Even the bathrooms were insanely beautiful which is crazy to say but it stood out. It's rare to find restrooms that are that clean and well-designed. The drinks were great. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I got, but it had red sugar on the rim and it perfectly matched the whole aesthetic of the restaurant. For food, I got the steak taco and the fish taco and both were delicious. We were just stopping by for a quick bite before heading to the movies , but I really wish we could have stayed for a full meal because everything was amazing. Hopefully we'll get the chance to come back again one day.

The restaurant is adorable, although the tables are small and very close together. It was quite loud and hard to hold a conversation. Service was great.
