    My neighbor and I enjoyed the Presto Lunch at Il Massimo in Dedham, and will definitely be back. Not only is the Presto Lunch an excellent value, but we really appreciated the variety of food options. We both ordered something different for all three courses, and we both loved what we ordered. The portions were also large for lunch, and we both took about half of our entree home to enjoy later. On a side note, I'm very particular about eggplant parmigiana, and the eggplant parmigiana I had at Il Massimo was wonderful, and worth a return trip just to have that again. In addition, my neighbor must have gluten free options for medical reasons, and not only did they have a lot of gluten free options for her to choose from, she said everything she ordered was delicious, and she is already planning her next visit with another friend.
