    Roasted Cabbage
    Rachel B.

    Really cute spot.. we came before a concert, and it was actually a "pre concert meet up bar" but they were not prepared. They had 1 bartender and their menu has complex cocktails, it just wasn't going to work. The espresso martinis were great and so was the food. I enjoyed the cabbage.

    I like the bright ambiance of the location.  Perfect for a sunny winter afternoon.

    I stumbled on this place for Sunday brunch while attending a track meet at the New Balance facility. They have music and a really good brunch menu. The place is bright and airy. The bartenders are very nice and attentive. I sampled the house wings and their chicken and waffles. Both were very good. The bartender informed me that they had just started with these Sunday events. Looking around at the people coming in, we'll dressed and positive, it looks like a hit for Sundays. Best success to them. Additionally, if you're a young man of sophistication and want to meet like minded women, this Sunday brunch is a good spot. It's not often I stumble on a sleeper spot, especially when I'm not even looking but this was a pleasant surprise. Happy Black History month. 02/15/2026

    Went here before the Disclosure show; had their wings and burgers. Definitely got busy in the night, fries were good, not sure if they got a 1.0 where I could of just got a classic burger.

    Cosmo

    Came here for a birthday party in their event room space. We got there early so we started with a drink at the regular bar. I ordered a Cosmo which was delish! The meal for the party was buffet style and everything was AMAZING. The salad with candied walnuts and Roquefort cheese was a great start. The chicken was moist, the Mac and cheese was very tasty and the steak tips were tender. I didn't have high expectations of this place based on other reviews but I would definitely head back. I am not sure if the catering menu is available on the normal menu but I do hope so because everything was great!

    Never been to their South Bay location but this new location in "Boston Landing" (Allston / Brighton area) was pretty nice. Grabbed a drink beforehand next door at Broken Record Beer Hall to pregame after looping around a few times in the plaza to find some street parking (there was a sold out concert the Saturday my friends and I went). There are also multiple garages with $20 pricing. Food was good (upscale seafood restaurant so prices are a little high). Staff was very friendly. Restaurant is new so very clean / modern. The restaurant itself is not that big so recommend making reservations ahead of time. I'd suggest making adding some more options to the dessert menu to make it more interesting.

    Lemon sorbet

    This restaurant is OUTSTANDING! Hands down one of the best meals I've had in Boston in a while. First off, service was great. Every person was so nice and checked in often. We started with two of the house cocktails which were both beautiful and tasted great. We shared a lobster bisque which came with unreal croutons and had tons of lobster pieces in it, and was the perfect size to share for an app for two. I had the spaghettini for my entree & my BF got the seafood rice. Both had amazing flavor and were unlike anything I've tried. Such a unique twist on your classic seafood restaurants. I can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu! And to top it all off I got this cute birthday card & a scoop of lemon sorbet which was so thoughtful!

    The Pearl restaurant open a new location in Allston, great food & wait staff. Restaurant decoration was marvelous w/ high booth table and bench. Definitely would come back to this restaurant and share this with my friend Hi Winder

    Amazing food every thing was delicious, great atmosphere and friendly staff! I had a dinner for my birthday and the food was incredible. The waitress was extremely accommodating and decor is very sheik down to the fabulous scented lotion in the restrooms. Highly recommended!

Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, but it's super convenient to get to via the Green Line, which made it easy overall. For food, everything was delicious: The Romaine & Kale Caesar was good, though I wish it had whole anchovies for a little extra punch. The prosciutto bruschetta was incredible, definitely a standout. The crispy cauliflower was my favorite dish of the night, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The rigatoni bolognese was solid and comforting. The Chianti-Marsala braised beef short rib was insanely tender and cooked perfectly (just wish there were a few more mushrooms!). Also have to mention the dirty martini was so good. Overall, such a great spot with a fun vibe, amazing service, and really tasty food. I'll definitely be back!

I've been drooling over the passion fruit krembo and the pear tart so I had to give them a try as well. Pear tart- absolutely perfect, so mellow and sweet and I loved the poached pear in the middle! Passionfruit krembo- honestly stronger on the coconut and meringue flavor than on the passion fruit? Tastes almost like a lemon meringue tart to me. Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more. Probably will stick with black sesame next time. Note- they serve their pastries glued with sugar (?) on a cardboard round. Im not too sure how to eat it like this so I ended up prying them off the round.

I've always been a huge Tatte fan and loved it as a Boston staple because every food dish tastes great and is of good quality (and I've tried quite a few from various pastries to shakshuka, most of their breakfast sandwiches, and the Cilbir which has unfortunately left the menu). Frankly Tatte is one of few spots where I'd opt for a hot Cappuccino over an iced Americano, but that's my only qualm.

Oddly, some of the best sandwiches we had in Italy came from a gas station travel plaza on the way from Rome to Florence. We haven't found a similar sandwich in the US ... until here. The meats are sliced fresh and all the sandwiches are made by hand. You have a lot of choices ... and the menu is odd. It stretches from one end of the ordering counter to the other ... it's so long that it's difficult to read the choices at the beginning of the sign. We got the Paradiso, which is made with Mortadella (imagine a thin-sliced bologna) with pistachio cream. Thoughts on the sandwich: Size: - This is one of those places which gives you too much sandwich. I'd come back more often if the sandwiches were $10 - $12 for a single portion. Honestly, the sandwiches here could probably feed two people ... which is fine because it allowed us to split it. However, if I am getting lunch for myself, I don't want to pay double and take a half home. Ingredients: - The best part of the sandwich was the foccacia bread. It was crisp but light ... had a little bit of oil on it and it was dense enough to fill you up. Slightly salty. - The mortadella was high quality ... but at the end of the day, $20 for a bologna sandwich is tough. Also, I was a little surprised at how thin of a layer they put on for the price. - Pistachio/Cream ... Very sweet, I felt like I would have liked a little more savory to balance it out. The sandwich was very pistachio forward and that was the predominant taste. I'd have liked the mortadella to stand out more. Overall, you won't find a sandwich as similar to what you'd get in Italy anywhere else. This place is a bit over hyped in my opinion but the sandwiches are pretty authentic to what you'd find in Italy. Unique combinations and high quality ingredients but the prices are just so fucking sky high here. - The bread is the best part

    Incredible - just about identical to what I had at the Florence location. It might be sad, but my…read moreday trip from Providence RI to Boston was centered around getting a sandwich here. I got the La Paradiso which has Mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream and pistachio ($19). The focaccia bread is out of this world, and I absolutely love the combination of creamy stracciatella with pistachio cream and mortadella. Their sandwiches are massive, and while I am able to finish one no problem, the average appetite would have two meals out of one sandwich. La Paradiso was the same sandwich I got in Italy so I gotta mix it up next time. The service is quick and friendly.

They started doing more soups and salads too now so you can do a 1/2 soup or salad and 1/2 sandwich. Their sandwiches are generously portioned (read can be two meals if you are on a college budget like me) It's a little over 6 for the sandwich (or 1/2 and 1/2) with your choice of apple or small bag of Cape Cod Chips. I always get pretty much the same- garlic oil, fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil. It's a great sandwich- although once in a while their basil is not fresh. You can choose to get it grilled or not. The wait is usually 5-10 minutes, but at least the ordering system (pen and paper) means that I've never had an error with my sandwich. More fast moving places should do this I think. Anyway, you can choose all sorts of things here really- there are lots and lots of options, which is what we all want in our over personalized, individualistic society, right? :)

As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.
