12.12.12 We began a journey together with the community of Hudson, Massachusetts. An idea to open a small flatbread shop evolved into something we could only dream about. Our story is about a community's hope to do something special and to bring attention back to the things that matter most- like sitting around a fire, with warm friends, cold beers and great flatbread! Although delicious wood fired flatbread pizza is the champion on our menu it's just the beginning -we are a family friendly restaurant offering unique spins on new American comfort food classics like burgers, chicken tenders, tacos and mac and cheese to name a few.

We went to Dryft for the first time for my birthday dinner - 5 of us including two teens and a 12 year old. The menu had a great selection for all of us! Our apps were the hummus plate and burratta which were both incredible! I ordered the haddock with wild mushroom risotto and it was delicious and everyone else was very happy with their meals. Portion sizes were great. We were full, so skipped dessert, but our awesome server game me a complimentary glass of champagne after hearing it was my birthday. Our server was wonderful and we will definitely be back to try the other amazing things on the menu. Our son has a nut allergy and they were very attentive to that.

I do not think they had enough staff working and they should not have filled all the tables. While service was ok, it was Very ..slow. The table next to us got their food before they even got their drinks. I do not suggest the chicken bowl extreme dry and bland.

Food was served hot and was well prepared exactly as ordered. Portions were large which was nice. Scott, our server, was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Good service at Bertucci’s makes a huge difference.
