    PastAmore is a gem for anyone who loves Italian cuisine. Their pasta dishes are exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The apple cider sangria is a must-try; it's a delightful twist that perfectly balances sweetness and spice, making it a standout drink. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and attentive staff that made the entire experience even better. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, creating the perfect setting for a great meal. Whether you're out for a casual dinner or a special occasion, PastAmore is a place you'll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!

    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.

    We had reservations on a Monday night due to the high demand because of the Christmas Pop up. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. People were taking walking around the taking pictures throughout the restaurant. We were sat at our table right away. Our waitress was very nice. We started with Garlic Knots which we both liked. I had the Bolognese which I enjoyed very much. My girlfriend had the braised short ribs which she also enjoyed. If you can get reservations we both recommend it.

    Excellent, tasty Thai food in a clean, spacious, attractive setting. The staff are accommodating and friendly. I had the House Special Curry (with shrimp & scallops). It was delicious but mild, so I added some hot sauce to kick it up. My spouse had the Khao Pad Poo (Crabmeat Fried Rice). It is a solid choice with good crab flavor in every bite. Our dinner companion had the Larb Duck Salad: ground duck meat and other yummy things on a bed of lettuce. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes! Recommended.

    Great food and nice selection of beers. Large space so getting a table was not hard. We had the thick crust pizza and the shrimp scampi, both were very good with large portions. Will be back again.
