Cesar salad

If you don't have the ingredients to make a dish properly just say that!! No pita bread! Plain toasted bread instead of seasoned croutons! Yellow lettuce!! Parmesan cheese the goes on pizza not salad! I could have ordered something else!! Couldn't take it back because my break is only 30 mins!!

Small pizza!

OMG. I haven't had a "real" pizza in... in... forever! When I crave pizza back home, I order something totally abnormal because 1) I have a wheat intolerance and a minor gluten intolerance so I usually get thin crust and 2) I try to limit my lactose intake and cutting calories by ordering no cheese! (yeah yeah I know - weird!) I'm glad I chose this place to break that particular diet because it.. was.. The.. Best.. pizza.. I've Ever had! First, let's talk about size. We ordered a small. This one must've been a large compared to the California pizzas I'm used to eating! There were (I think) 6 very large slices total! Second, the sauce! It was good and the pizza itself wasn't drowning in it and didn't just taste like bland tomato sauce - it actually had flavor! Thirdly, the crust - mmmmmm. It was a little soggy in the very middle but overall it had a great texture - not too soft and not tough at all and with the right amount of crunchiness. Lastly the cheeeeeese. Mozarella is my favorite and this one was stringy and delicious! The ordering process was a little difficult because I couldn't really understand the guy taking my order or maybe he couldn't understand me and I'm not even sure if he spoke a whole lot of English. Anyway, not only do they serve pizza here but a lot of other things like subs, salads, wings, chicken tenders, fish n chips, etc etc etc. I asked the guy "what's good here" and he says "the pizza!" so taking his word for it, we decided to try their pizza. We ordered a small with sausage, mushrooms and olives.... only when we got it we got sausage, mushrooms and onions on it. It wasn't a very big deal so we didn't complain about it. Good thing it was super delish! My boyfriend and I polished off the whole thing in one sitting!

Best deal for pizza by the slice. Delicious, fresh and memorable! Pickup is quick and fast usually. Weekends your mileage may vary.

THE place in JP for pizza and--you'd be surprised--breakfast. $8 for a full plate of eggs, meat, potatoes, buttered toast, and coffee? Sold.

While casually looking through Resy, I was able to snag same day reservations and finally try…read moreTonino! And now that I've tried it, I know I'll be back whenever I can get another reservation. Overall everything was solid but our favorites were what we started with: the pizza Bianca with ricotta & hot honey, and the wines we ordered. We loved everything about the pizza Bianca - the texture of the bread, and the ricotta & hot honey was so delicious we could just eat it by itself. The pepperoni & hot honey pizza was also quite good, but just not my preferred type of pizza. It is great for those looking for a slice that isn't too heavy. Flavor wise though I still really liked it. Among the pastas, the taleggio cappelleti was simply not for us. I could see some people loving it but it was just a bit too salty and rich for me. I felt like I needed more balsamic to counteract the strong flavor. The cavatelli on the other hand was more to my taste, a perfect alternative to the taleggio capellini. We finished the meal with the panna cotta that had great texture with the toppings. All in all a great meal with some favorites I already know I want to order again, and some really great service!

Pizza Bianca (9.5/10): Fantastic bread, bursting with aroma. Nice texture as well. We got the…read morestracciatella/tomato relish/balsamic/basil with it. Tasted SOO good. Very well balanced - I especially liked the stracciatella. Taleggio Capeletti (7/10): A bit too rich and too salty for my tastes. I think this dish just needed something to cut through the richness. Still really good nonetheless. Lumache (8/10): The chew on the pasta is impeccable!! The chew on those mushrooms is also insane. Texture-wise, this dish was a home run. For some reason, I kept getting hints of something resembling boar taint in the sauce flavor itself. Not sure why... I don't think there was meat? I feel like I would've given this dish a 10/10 had it not been for the hint of that flavor. Service was very friendly and fast. The restaurant is small, but the seating didn't feel too tight. Even though I gave it a 5/5, I actually don't know if I would come again. The pasta was very steeply priced for not that much food. Although the capeletti was surprisingly filling, I'd rather feel full on carbs than full on pure butter and cheese.

Everyone needs a favorite restaurant. It's not necessarily that it's the best by some quantifiable…read moremetric, but rather that it's the place that you find yourself coming back to, time and again. After over a decade of living in Boston, I found myself in town for the weekend and Tres Gatos was my number 1 food stop. The food is always phenomenal, with both old favorites (tortilla espagnola!) and new dishes (oyster mushrooms!). Drinks were interesting and tasty (the mushroom cocktail was so neat!), service was excellent, and the vibe is cozy, hip, and gay. Practical tips: -About a 10 min walk from Stonybrook (orange line) -Stairs to get in at the front -- it's possible there may be an accessible entrance around the back, but I'm not sure. -Parking nearby is doable, but not necessarily easy -Reservations are important, especially for larger parties on popular nights -Volume is average -- loud enough that you can't hear the table next to you (unless you're really listening!), soft enough that you can easily chat with your whole table without shouting

What an interesting little place!…read more I'd heard about this restaurant before but had never actually visited, so I was excited to finally check it out. What makes it especially unique is the setting. There's a vinyl record store next door, and the restaurant itself is housed in what appears to be an old home, with the living room and kitchen transformed into a dining space. How cool is that?! The space is quite small, intimate, and dimly lit, giving it a cozy feel. Service was great throughout our visit. The menu features a small-plates concept, which I really enjoyed because it allowed us to sample quite a few dishes. We actually tried most of the menu, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the overall dining experience. Now, the cocktails... unfortunately, those weren't a hit for me. I'm definitely a sweet, fruity cocktail kind of person, and even after two attempts, I couldn't find anything that really suited my taste. I would have loved to see a few sweeter options on the cocktail menu. Not everyone enjoys spirit-forward or less-sweet drinks, so a little more variety would be appreciated! Would I come back? Absolutely! The food, service, and unique atmosphere are worth another visit. Next time, though, I might skip the cocktails and venture into their wine selection instead. Overall, a charming little spot with a lot of character and a dining experience I'd happily repeat!

For dinner there was a gnocchi special, vegetarian risotto and a mushroom pasta dish. Everything was delicious including the complementary bread. We took the waiter's suggestions for cocktails and wine and every drink was well done. To top it off we were the last ones in the restaurant and they never rushed us out and in fact recommended the dessert - a panna cotta cheesecake that was delicious. Will definitely be back the next time we visit Boston.

My boyfriend loved his corn beef hash- looks small but very filling, rich and flavorful but wish it had more eggs. I didn't love the crostata. I heavily appreciated that the "greens" actually had other vegetables added to them to make it interesting and the potatoes were too crispy for me but that's personal preference. The crostata was good size and I loved the crust, I was just disappointed that it advertised goat cheese and I couldn't taste any. After eating we went inside to look at their pastry selection and they are absolutely beautiful!! We got the cream puff (gigantic and delicious), Nutella croissant (10/10 should get), and the butter cookie which was delicious but wish it was denser. The service truly blew me away and for that we Weill definitely be back to try more things.

Gigi's did not disappoint for my first time going…read more I ordered the Broccolini, Meatballs, and Caesar Salad to start, followed by the Carbonara pasta, and ended off with both the Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and Tiramisu. The food was phenomenal and is some of the best Italian food I've had in Boston. The décor in there was beautiful. It's so "Boston" with a lot of mood lighting, sooth jazz music, and just overall people enjoying their time there. Fair warning, you cannot get a walk-in table, so if you want to go here (which I'd 100% recommend doing) make sure to book a reservation a day before relatively early on!

Maybe my partner and I are biased since we aren't huge fans of Italian cuisine. We ordered the…read moreRigatoni Alla Vodka and the Campanelle Bolognese. The first few bites of both were good, but not as amazing as we would've expected, given the rave about this restaurant. As we continued chowing down our dish, we both noticeably got sick of it. The flavors weren't something that made us want to go back for more. The host was kind. My partner had made a last minute reservation, but realized he made it for the wrong day when we arrived and although they were a full house that Saturday night, he made sure to get us in with a short wait. Inside is dark and loud, which is not much of my preferred ambience. Luckily, we sat outside with fresh air and it was a warm Summer evening, so it felt nice. Unfortunately, this is off my list because we were not amazed.
