They’ve brought together their love of great food, easy hospitality and chic vibes to create a lively space that is welcoming to all looking for a memorable meal. With dishes that lean heavily on Italian flavors but are not restricted by any rules of the cuisine, the food is unpretentious and delicious. A fireplace wrapped in white ceramic, an oversized salvaged communal table designed for side-by-side dining and rich leather banquets are just some of the design elements that make up Pammy’s charm.We're currently serving a Prix Fixe menu for all reservations.

    The food was delicious, and the service was terrific. We had cocktails, appetizers, mains, and dessert, and it was great from start to finish. Our server paid us just the right amount of attention. Parking can be a challenge, but once you're inside, all is well. Highly recommend.

    Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.

    I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.

    Hadn't been here in years. Very reasonable prices, entrees under $20! Fun place for our group. Waitress was very nice, The food was very good overall. My lobster quesadillas were quite yummy but portion was small, more like an appetizer. Steak fahitas was good, steak not very tender tough and skimpy on rice/ beans. Tacos were enjoyed by 2 of our party. Mexican lasagna was a bit too spicy for the person who got it, and she didn't realize it was a vegetarian dish though ingredients were listed. , maybe should label. Chicken fahitas was generous portion and enjoyed by the party who got them. The flan was good but a bit dense.
