    Cannoli

    The interior design is charming, and the restaurant has well-covered outdoor seating. Jorge, our waiter, was pleasant, with the right degree of attentiveness. It was nice that Dante, the chef, came over to chat with us. Also nice that we were a comped a delicious, attractively displayed cannoli for my husband's birthday. The rolls were excellent, as was the cannoli. The octopus was prepared well, but the sauce was too vinegary for my taste--I imagine that it suits other diners very well. My seafood in white wine sauce was fine but not outstanding. Hubby had minestrone and gnocchi and was grateful for some vegetarian offerings.

    The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars was the service- I sat for 10 minutes and no one gave me as much as a glance. I finally got up and walked over to the bar to ask for a glass of wine and THEN I was noticed. Food delicious, after that service was still not great but eh ...I live I will post pix ,

    Gnocchi

    My friend and I came for an early dinner on a Friday without reservations and were able to get seated right away. As the night went on, it got more crowded and by the time we left the restaurant was packed! Our server was very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere and vibes were classy. For food I got the gnocchi which was really fresh and delicious. It had great texture and flavor. We ended the night sharing the lava cake which you can never go wrong with! Overall had a good experience here and would come back again!

    I really enjoyed the ambiance. I thought the service was friendly. My aperol spritz was perfect. I enjoyed the antipasti. My favorite was the bruchetta. The prociutto was young but tasty but the cantaloupe was young too which was ok but it wasn't ripe..it really needed to be sweet. The porcini parpadelle was perfect! I loved it....so good. The chicken marsala was ok. The sauce was on the sweeter side and tasted more like a red wine sauce. The chicken was a bit dry and should have been more tender and seasoned. Finally the tiramisu was good. My server was so nice. She gave us complimentary limocello... loved it.

    Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio

    Meal and service were decent...but would come here again to try other dishes. My friend and I were craving pasta so we decided to go here. We ended up being seated outside because it was so busy. We first started off with the Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio. This was pretty good and super high quality, but I don't think I would get it again for the price we paid (about $20 for 7 slices and a small salad). I ended up getting Gnocchi Alla Pecorara and my friend got the Homemade Caserecce Carbonara. I tried both dishes and I actually liked the Carbonara more than the Gnocchi. They both came out really hot but for both dishes, the pasta was a bit overcooked. It would've been nice if the pasta was al dente. The carbonara sauce was a little on the underseasoned end, but it was ok. As for the Gnocchi, the tomato-basil sauce was 99% tomato and 1% basil. I didn't really taste the basil in the sauce (except for when I ate the single basil leaf that was used for garnishing). The service also was mediocre, we spent a long time waiting for our waiter to come out and check up on us so we could get the bill. Once we asked for the bill, it took some time for us to actually receive the bill to pay. Additionally, we were only given two pieces of bread and never asked if we wanted more. The food did come out rather quickly, I will say that I think the chef brought it out, which was very nice. I think I would come here again to try their seafood dishes, but probably wouldn't get the same things again.

    Lobster Ravioli & spumoni

    Got takeout. The lobster raviolis $29 were stuffed with lobster. The sauce was delicious with perfectly cooked portobello mushrooms. Spumoni $13 was delicious as well. The mini ciabatta that accompanied the entree was crispy on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside--perfect. The restaurant was packed on a Mon evening. This meal was 5/5. We went back again for takeout. Octopus was very sour. I thought it was ok, but not sure most ppl would like it that sour. Papardelle with porcini & truffle was too creamy for my liking & has 0 truffle flavor. Tiramisu was good, not the best I've had. This meal was 3/5. Service was quick & courteous. It's a nice place to enjoy a meal. I would stick with the lobster ravioli & spumoni.

    I think the food was delicious! Everything was just right, not too oily or salty, and dessert was not overly sweetened. It's a nice modern place, clean, and cozy. Bathroom was very clean as well. Definitely enjoyed my time here would recommend trying everything especially the house made tiramisu.

    Amazing! Love the decor and the food was great! Waiters were very accommodating and super friendly to my 1 year old baby!

    Birthday cannoli
    Bella P.

    I love this place! YOU HAVE TO TRY THE MUSHROOM PEPPERDELLE. It was so creamy, packed with umami flavor, delicate shaved truffle on top, and perfectly al dente house made pepperdelle. I still think about it to this day and I will probably make the 45 min drive to go back for this one dish... Our table also got the burratta, gnocchi, veal, salmon risotto, and tuna avocado tower. All great, but the mushroom pepperdelle really takes the cake. Went for my mom's bday and they prepared a cannoli with a candle which was a nice touch :) Ambiance of the restaurant also felt romantic yet cozy at the same time. I'll be back!

    Delallo's gnocchi that the restaurant claims is handmade.

We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by the host as well as Caroline, our bartender. She made us two perfect martini's to the rim, and brought us out a complimentary dish from the chef which was fantastic (I think it was fried chickpea flour in the shape of a very thick fry. They also brought us out complimentary bread and focaccia as well as home made pesto. We ordered the meatballs (the best I've ever had, and my wife is Sicilian). We then shared the Chicken Parm which had the most amazing chunky sauce packed with flavor along with homemade rigatoni! This by far was one of the best meals I've had in a while! Sweet Basil will now go in our rotation of weekly restaurants to visit.

Waltham has space to breathe, cocktails mixed with genuine craft and creativity, prices that acknowledge you are a human being with a budget, and an atmosphere where "intimate dinner" does not require a hearing aid afterward. And the food? Let me be absolutely clear: every bit as spectacular as the original. The chicken parmigiana arrives with a shatteringly crisp exterior giving way to tender, juicy perfection beneath a blanket of molten cheese. The rosemary chicken practically perfumes the table before it lands, herb-kissed and golden, the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. The bolognese is a masterclass in patience and tradition, rich and meaty and clinging to each strand of pasta like it was born there. Same kitchen excellence, superior everything else. I must speak of Gina, because to write this review without her name in lights would be a crime against gratitude. Our server moved through the evening with grace, precision, and a warmth that felt entirely genuine rather than rehearsed. She made us feel not like customers, but like guests in her home. This is the difference Waltham offers: care. Real, tangible, you-can-taste-it-in-every-moment care. Needham will survive without me. It will survive without you. But Waltham deserves your attention, your appetite, and your loyalty. Go once and you will understand. Go twice and you will never look back.

I am by no means an Indian food connoisseur, but I was glad to see a variety of more typical dishes like butter chicken, to dosas (gluten free!), idly, and specialty dishes from different regions. They were also able to accommodate a number of dietary restrictions in our group (gluten and dairy free, nut free, vegetarian, vegan), so it was a win all around. For my family, I ordered the sambar vada (gluten free lentil fritters), palak paneer (spinach and paneer cheese), Kerala fish pollichatthu. The fritters were a hit with the little one and came with a tangy sauce (sambar). The palak paneer was a very good version of this classic dish. The Kerala fish entree was my "why not" dish, mostly chosen since I know some folks from Kerala. They weren't around to give me the heads up that it would be a whole small fish cooked in banana leaves, though. I was a little surprised, but it was rather tasty, even if there amount of meat was a bit limited. I'll need to include them in my regular takeout roster in the future, and I'd love to dine in sometime too. The interior looks gorgeous from the pictures.
