Came here with about 12 people on Friday night. We made a reservation for 6:00. We had two lanes and we waited for about 10 min before they had to kick off the people in front of us. We got 10 extra mins at the end so that was fine. Unique looking place. Like a wood fired pizza joint connected to a small bowling alley. Reservations would be recommended for bowling btw. Our server was great! Attentive to us at the lane. We got lots of drinks and pizzas. They had a delicious kombucha and a cool mushroom cola for NA options. They also had great vegan pizza and a very tasty salad! Would come back

Fun place for some old school candlepin bowling. It doesn't have many lanes so try to make a reservation. Fortunately we were lucky and only had to wait an hour for a lane - just enough time to have some pizza which was very very good even if I wasn't comparing it to other bowling alley pizza.

Group event for 20 people on the corner lanes!

This old school bowling alley is a wonderful place to host both work or personal events. Our office tries to book an outing here at least once a year. The pizza is incredible, plenty of options for drinks with a full bar, and still an affordable place to host a group event of any size. Definitely recommend stopping by Sacco's for an afternoon of bowling with friends or for your next event.

After reading all of the reviews, I was prepared for the worst, but thankfully the worst never happened. We had our end of summer company party here. We were about 15 people. The staff was friendly enough and accommodating. The only issue we had was it seemed our server was a bit overwhelmed and it was hard to get ahold of her. A few of us also waited quite awhile for drinks, but we were a large party and not the only ones there. It was pretty dead when we got there at 3:30, but by the time I left at 6, things were in full swing. I was happy to see lots of little ones, they're very kid friendly. The little balls make it easy for little ones to participate and there's a changing table in the women's bathroom. Also happy to say that despite reports of a lack of diversity, there were lots of people of different backgrounds and races, plenty of students. Candle pin bowling is a lot of fun! I wish they included rules on the score sheet or posted them up somewhere as they rules are different from conventional bowling. Pizza was DELICIOUS. Crispy, cheesy goodness. Ingredients tasted like quality stuff. Well seasoned and just enough garlicky herby flavor. Dough was spot on. I said pizza, because it's pizza not flatbread. Overall great experience and will bring my hubby and daughter there.

I came to Sacco's on a Saturday night with a group. It was a cool spot to play some casual bowling. I've only played traditional bowling before so this was interesting. I found it a bit annoying to have to keep score by hand, especially because it was sometimes tough to determine how many pins I hit. This seems like more of a spot for new bowlers and local Tufts students, not serious bowlers. The vibe of the place was great, with the attached pizza restaurant and bar. Great for a fun, casual night out!

Amazing gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian options -- and they have a location in…read moreCohasset that isn't listed anywhere, we found it on a Reddit thread lol. We ordered online from their actual website, and the online menu was very clearly labeled and was SO thorough in explanations and checkmark boxes for variations and letting the place know about allergies and such. That is rare to find, and people with allergies always have to worry about that kind of thing, it's a whole to-do. IYKYK. If you have celiac, it may not be a great option as they have cross contamination for their pizzas. Anyways, now the grand reveal: I got a gluten free and dairy free pizza with various toppings and it was GREAT!! It's rare to find a pizza place that can fill the place of regular pizza when you have gluten & dairy allergies, but this comes close! I'm very happy with what I ordered. It is pricey, and their extras are pricey to add on. However, I don't really care as it is rare to be able to enjoy pizza for me. They also provide little gf/df marshmallow treats as a little dessert, for free. That was a nice surprise. Companies don't do stuff like this, so it goes a long way in my book! Overall, great allergy friendly pizza place, and also for regular folks who want a regular pizza. Everyone will be happy.

The great was great, and the vegan cheese was some of the better I've had on pizza. The meatballs didn't really taste like meatballs, but they were yummy. We enjoyed both pizzas, but didn't feel blown away. The vegan potato bombs were yummy, though--delicious sauce. Overall, a good experience!

I held this year's birthday dinner here. I had a good impression of Coda Restaurant Group before,…read moreand this place did not disappoint. Prosciutto: The best dish of the meal. The prosciutto slices were perfectly salty, rich in fat, and smooth, wrapped around the refreshing sweetness of kumquats, the delicate creaminess of stracciatella cheese, the crunch and nutty aroma of pistachios, and topped with a smoky touch of sumac powder. It had a rich and distinct flavor profile while offering a gentle and comfortable taste. Spaghetti: The refreshing lemon and basil paired with the umami crab meat is a classic combination. Chili oil added a touch of spice and aroma, while pea tendrils provided a light herbal fragrance. The sauce was emulsified very smoothly, making it both rich and palatable, although the spaghetti itself didn't leave a particularly strong impression. Half Chicken Milanese: A large portion, perfect as a main course to share. The chicken cutlet was thick, fried to a fragrant perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Wrapped in lettuce and eaten with mayonnaise, it brought back memories of the fast food stalls outside my school when I was a child. This was my first time trying rhubarb stems. The tangy and refreshing taste cut through the richness, and the texture was like softer celery and firmer green bell peppers - quite interesting. Duck Bacon Pizza: The most highly rated pizza online, and it was truly delicious! The rich, savory flavor of the duck bacon, the succulent richness of the shimeji mushrooms, and the mellow sweetness of the caramelized onions, combined with the creamy cheese base, made it a calorie bomb, but I still felt it was the right choice. Unfortunately, the crust was a bit hard, making it difficult to cut with a knife. Cotechino Pizza: This was my first time trying a pizza with sweet potatoes, and I couldn't help but admire their innovation. The colors were vibrant, and the sweetness of the sweet potatoes paired with the smoky aroma of Cotechino sausage bits created a full yet harmonious flavor, evoking the feeling of being in the southern Italian countryside in early autumn, basking in the bright sunshine and the satisfaction of a bountiful harvest. The restaurant offered menus printed with "Happy Birthday," and the waiters provided professional cake-cutting service. Overall, a very comfortable experience.

Came for shared dinner and drinks and really enjoyed our time…read more Vibe: Upscale decor and furnishings with warm and comfortable atmosphere. Service: Server was patient with us waiting for our full party to arrive and us taking time to figure out what to order. Food came out at different times, which was okay as there wasn't a ton of table space for all that we ordered. Drinks: I got the prickly pear gimlet which was delicious but also very tiny. Food: Most of what we got was delicious and interesting. We got 2 'snacks' and 5 dishes for 4 people as well a one desert we all shared and it was plenty of food. We started with the robiola bosina cheese w/ preserved fig honey - tasty but not a stand out and the eggplant caponata, which was standout delicious, highly recommend. This came with very good quality bread but we had to ask for more as the cheese/eggplant to bread ratio was off. Loved: Bucatini verde - absolutely delicious, HIGHLY recommend Octopus - deliciously deep grilled flavor with tasty broth, also highly recommend Liked: Charred sweet potato - very good Eh: Snap pea caesar - could have used more dressing, the radishes were good but mostly just tasted like eating straight snap peas Cotechino pizza - way too much crust to toppings ratio and the sweet potato overpowered the other flavors making it super sweet For desert we got a "cheesecake," interesting but didn't love Value: For all of the above plus 3 drinks came out to a little over ~$200, split four ways about ~$50 per person. A bit pricey but we left full and with a little pizza leftover and some of the dishes were excellent. Overall really enjoyed eating here and would return.

I had the vegan margarita pizza and I have to say that they had the best vegan cheese I've had in a long time. It wasn't overly sticky or oily. It was perfect! I highly recommend this place. You'll have good food and a good time.

Stopped in based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Yelp. Showed up around 7pm on a Sunday…read moreand it was near capacity but we were able to be seated right away. The dining room is fairly small with some bar seating available as well. It was clean and bright. It took about 7 mins for the server to come over and she lead with "are you ready to order?" I guess simple pleasantries are useless anyway. We knew our drinks and appetizers order but not what we wanted for pizza yet so we ordered those and told her we'd order pizzas when the apps and drinks came. She came back about 3 minutes later and asked if we were ready to order yet. Feeling pressured, we ordered thinking that perhaps they close soon (not the case). The bartender delivered our drinks a few minutes later and about 5 mins after that both the appetizers and pizza arrived at the same time. Besides the fact that our table wasn't large enough to accommodate all that food and drink, it was never our intention to eat our appetizers with our meal. The good news is that the food was hot, fresh and tasty. The potato bombs were excellent. Crispy home fry like potatoes and the peppers had a nice heat. I would love to try the popper version next time. The pizzas were good too, but be prepared for floppy and slightly under done base crust but a perfectly charred edge crust. I find many wood fired pizza to come this way but I did see other reviews mention this as a negative. The bill comes in a small ball jar with a delicious rice crispy treat. While the jar worked it must have made it hard to see that I dropped my credit card in it, so after the waitress walked by a few times I removed the card and made it visible on the table. When the tab came to sign I was not given a pen. I should have walked out and just let them charge me for just the tab but I cannot stiff waitstaff, even when it's poor service. My only hope is that it was the waitress's first day and she somehow figures out the typical cadence and procedure involved in waiting tables. Food was a solid 4 but service was a 2 so I landed on a 3. I would definitely go back hoping for a better server.
