- CChristineGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst time visitors. There wasn’t anything they could’ve have been better. Service staff was friendly, helpful and attentive, they were not pushy or rushing us. Value was great- average prices for similar restaurant. Food was OUTSTANDING! A rundown: Bread, served with oil - delicious Clam chowder- not too thick broth, diced clams, chunky potatoes, peppery- suburb, above average chowder. Haddock Della Note- great portion size. Served with roast potatoes and veggies- delicious. Cooked to perfection. Salmon Balsamico- large portion size - tomato balsamic salsa atop grilled to perfection salmon. Served with roasted potato and veggies. Dessert- chocolate peanut butter cake. The perfect blend of moist cake and creamy peanut butter. Would give 10 stars! Will be back!More infoPiccolo'sPrice: Moderate• Italian• Worcester•4.7

My husband and I had a date night and the atmosphere was fun and energetic, especially by the bar, but low key enough to be relaxing and romantic.More infoThe MercantilePrice: Moderate• American• Worcester•4.5
- JJosephGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoBest steak I ever had. I would have given service a 5 but someone called out that night which slowed things down. I'd still have given it a 5 but our poor server was so busy she forgot to bring us the check and we had to flag her down. Not her fault though. Fantastic food here!!!More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - WorcesterPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Worcester•4.7

Discover Central MA
Massachusetts is loaded with great cities and wonderful food. From Boston baked beans to classic corn chowder, there are a range of tastes to enjoy. Fans of seafood will have to try the lobster, but did you know you can get killer barbecue in Central Massachusetts? Don't forget the Pilgrim tradition; the good folks of Sturbridge are happy to feed you a meal rich in heritage and teach you how to make real maple syrup. Of course, you'll need something sweet to finish your food journey, so Amherst invites you to their bakery crawl for fresh-baked pastries and fluffy doughnuts.
