Pammy’s is a New American restaurant inspired by the feel of an Italian neighborhood trattoria. Perched between Cambridge’s Central and Harvard Squares, Pammy’s is a cozy yet sophisticated neighborhood destination. For husband and wife team Chris and Pam Willis (who live right up the street), Pammy’s is an extension of their living room. 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. A la carte dining is available for walk-in guests at our bar and in our lounge.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Christopher Willis

From the OpenTable editors: A centerpiece tile hearth, rich leather banquettes, and a 14-foot communal table lined with flowers make Pammy’s feel like a good friend’s cozy living room. With an approachable menu of hearty Italian American dishes that could include lasagna bianca with wild onion chutney, wife-and-husband team Pam and Chris Willis have created an inviting space you’ll want to return to again and again.

    Continues to be one of the most delicious and creative restaurants in New England. I love the “pick 3” format. Great service too!

    As usual, Pammy’s continues to impress and represent the best of Cambridge dining with its incredibly well-crafted and delicious menu selection, excellent service, and ambiance. I’ve yet to have a bad experience here, and I’ve heard of no one who has.

    Delicious food!! The menu is both exciting and creative without being pretentious and, worst of all, not filling. 12/10 would recommend and hope to return myself as well.

    Outstanding service and food quality. Incredibly loud, group next to us were shouting and laughing so loudly it was unbearable. Have no issues with people enjoying themselves at dinner and having lively conversation just doesn’t have to be at the highest decibel level humanly possible. Unfortunate because the food quality and our server were superb! Not sure there is much that can be done to prevent or mitigate loud patrons in an open dining room.
