- MMarieGreater Boston •20 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe went for brunch and we loved it. Best brunch around, they have so many different foods. It’s hard too choose because no way can you try everything. Have been there quiet a few times and have never been disappointed. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and more!More infoDattilo Fine Italian at Water’s EdgePrice: Expensive• Italian• Westbrook•4.6
- SStevenGreater Boston •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe have been here a couple of times now and really enjoyed both, to the point that even though we’re 30 minutes away will make it one of our regular restaurants. The food was delicious and all 4 of us liked our meals very much (swordfish, fettuccine carbonara, etc). Great sauces, flavors and homemade pasta that was light and tasty! Our server was delightful and patient with us as we were slow to order doing much talking. The ambience is also very nice, casually warm with an understated elegance. The bar is also a great spot to wait for a table if needed, but also great to eat there if just two. I highly recommend!More infoRustica Ristorante - ChesterPrice: Moderate• Italian• Chester•4.7
