"I wasn't expecting much from the small neighborhood joint. We went on a Saturday for lunch and it was not too busy. The ambience was very family friendly and the food was really delicious. They also had excellent olive oil with bread as a starter. I got the steak tips and Caesar salad and it was mixed perfection. Definitely come again."
"We've always just gone to Regina's so we hardly ever explore other Pizza places, but wow, Annie's did not disappoint! They have SO much to choose from as far as pizza goes. They also have an extensive menu of other things like salads, sandwiches and wraps. My boyfriend wanted pizza and I was craving buffalo chicken. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and it was really good! It was essentially all buffalo chicken and dressing, I wish there had been some more lettuce but I added my own! Overall awesome place and we'll definitely be ordering again!"

"Decided to come here for a quick bite before hitting the highway back home. They had a couple different topping ready to eat slices available and I tried the ranch chicken bacon slice. I asked for sides of garlic powder and pepper flakes. They added great extra flavor to the slice and I am glad I tried the chicken bacon ranch. Super delicious! I am not a huge pizza person, but NY Pie seems to make great pizza... probably one of the better pizzas I have tried in a long time."
"On a Monday - this seemed to be the only place open for lunch in all of downtown Wellesley. Order at the counter. They bring the food to you. They seemed to be doing a big take out business. There were a few outdoor tables. Lucky for us - they were on the shady side of the building!House salads were standard fare. Dressing was served on the side. Tomatoes and lettuce appeared to be local fresh. They had no issues with a cheese substitution on the eggplant sandwich. In fact offered after we requested no mozzarella. The lasagna was really good. The sauce was to die for. This place was a good find. Will be back."
"Mario's is a mom & pop restaurant just 5 minutes away from the airport~~it was highly recommended by a friend who's an Italian local (apparently #1 on TripAdvisor too). My mom and I started off strong with some of the best Italian food in Boston and we agreed everything was sooo good! The Vitello & Pesce Alla Ursula, Lobster & Crab Stuffed Ravioli Alla Vodka, fried calamari, and shrimp scampi were absolutely amazing all around :) The calamari was lightly fried with a wonderful marinara sauce, lobster ravioli had real, chunky lobster, shrimp scampi was my second fav dish bc of its homemade garlic bread drenched in their amazing lemon buttery sauce, and the Vitelli & Pesce Alla Ursula was probably my mom's favorite, with sautéed seafood, vegetables, and veal. With the freezing cold weather outside, ambiance felt cozy and nice. Service was warm with an Italian passion. We ordered too much that we had leftovers, and no room for dessert sadly. Their lemon sorbet looked amazing though. Bookmarking for next time!"
"Came on a Sunday night for a party of 3 and there was no wait. Service was friendly and quick. Our server, Christian, was knowledgeable and gave several recommendations based on what we were looking for.The bread for the table was a simple rustic bread with fluffy chewy interior and hard crust. They will ask if you want bread. Two of us shared the Boscaiola which was rich but because it is vegetable based, filling but light. I really enjoyed the creamy mushroom flavor and the peas were a sweet addition.We also shared the Burrata Raviola. I am not very familiar with burrata, but is like a creamier version of mozzarella cheese. There is just the right amount of truffle flavor in the dish.A cute, casual spot for an informal date night or girl's night out."
"What a great place to stop at when visiting, or living, in the Boston area. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. You definitely want to give the Burrata Crostini a serious consideration as your starter. #DukeOfEats"
"I have been a patron of neapoli's for almost 20 years (ew, I feel old typing that). I've been frequenting them through different layouts and possibly changes in management ? (I was a lot younger when My family started ordering so I'm not sure), and I remember walking there when I was younger to grab a pizza roll when they had them. I've been living in Atlanta for the past two years, and I noticed that the menu changed slightly, but most of the signatures are still there. (Like the fat Willard *drools* and the now named "the Neapoli" wrap)The prices are great and the options are endless. I've literally never had a bad meal here. I ordered their salads, wraps, calzones, dinner plates, and appetizers. Everything is so good! I normally ask for caramelized onions on almost anything I order because their onions are PERFECTLY caramelized, and I normally ask for my calzone to be cook "well done" (don't knock it to you try it) to make sure that the crust to gooey ratio is perfect. (I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not, but I don't want to find out lol) The staff is super cool and friendly, I sometimes i prefer to order to go as opposed to calling in because of their professional and friendly demeanor. I've also ordered of Grubhub a few times ands have received my meals perfectly, except for two instances when 1) my order never seemed to go through and 2) when my order was complete messed up. But they resolved both issues immediately.Best place in Malden, hands down!"
"Quick order Italian at Casa Razdora. If you don't want to go to the North End and want your pasta, this is the spot. I ordered online and headed over to pick it up. It was the middle of the lunch rush and rather than "cut the line" even though I was only picking up, I waited anyway. There really isn't enough room to split "ordering" from "paying" here so keep that in mind.My pasta was hot and fresh and ready. I brought it back to the apartment and dug in. Nice fresh marinara sauce with penne noodles. Very hot, very fresh. The meatballs were quite good, tough a little small. Flavorful and delicious.I'll order from Razdora again, for sure."
"This must be the CUTEST place in the North End. The decor screamed "good vibes" as soon as I walked through the door; pink leather chairs, marble bar, flowered wallpaper. It was vintage, boujee and fantastic.My husband and I met friends here for lunch. I appreciated that a "glossary" of Italian terms was on the menu so it was easy understand what you're ordering. We started with the calamari & arancini. Calamari was just average but the arancinis were excellent. I could have eaten 100 of them!For my entree, I got the eggplant parm with spaghetti. The menu stated the pasta was made fresh daily in-house, but the spaghetti was just ok/underwhelming. However, the eggplant was delicious! It was a layered eggplant with veggies in between the layers (roasted peppers & spinach). I ate every last bite! I would definitely recommend checking this place out for the ambiance alone, if not anything else. The decor is perfect for a girls day/night :)"
"We have been going to the Rt 1 Saugus area lately and noticed Victors Italian Restaurant on Yelp. It was a snowy night and a lot of the other restaurants were not open. We knew it was a small restaurant, but had no idea how small until we got there. Because of the snow, parking was at a bare minimum. I guess you can park across the street, but it hadn't been plowed, so there was no parking. We ended up parking on a side street and walking to the restaurant which wasn't idea with the snow everywhere. We went inside and there were three tables. I think this place is more of a take out place than a dine in. We did dine in as we didn't want to eat in the car, but it was chilly in there with the door opening. It was late and almost closing so we ordered at the counter and then sat down at one of the tables. Hubby ordered Chicken Parmesan and I Chicken Broccoli Penne Alfredo. They brought bread to the table. There are very little options for drinks except the soda in cans in the cooler. Our meals came and were piping hot. Hubby loved his Chicken Parmesan. Sauce was delicious and cutlet was crispy and tender. The chicken in mine was tender with a slightly browned outside. The broccoli was perfect. The penne was a little too underdone for me. Although the alfredo was made from fresh cream and cheese, there was way too much of it in the dish for me. But the flavor was delicious. Overall a great spot to get a take out and reasonably priced."
"The Meridian special sub is a top 2 sandwich ever. So delicious. The bread is so good, the cutlets are thin and crispy..10/10 great sandwich. Can't stop thinking about it"

Excellent. Very small neighborhood restaurant. Love these small places. No large parties - they don't have the space. About 26 at tables and 6 at the bar. Decent wine selection. We had a bottle of Torrebruna Sangiovese that was very good. Food: yum. Raviolis a la vodka and the house special parmigiana (I I picked my go to veal) it was delicious. And an espresso to conclude the meal. Oh yes. The locals are very lucky to have this place.

Great birria tacos! Very cheesy tacos with lots of meat in it. The consomme was less thick than Ive had at other places. I don't know Mexican food well so I'm not sure what it's supposed to be like, but I thought Annie's birria tacos + consomme were great! The Mexican rice was SO GOOD. That was even better than the tacos. Super flavorful. The order overall was very filling too. Also got chicken tenders. I didn't like the ranch dressing that much, and the tenders were just okay. I wish I got a bowl instead so I couldve had more Mexican rice.

I call this "I just moved and we lost track of time from unpacking everything but we're starving at 10pm and what pizza place can come in clutch right now". That is NY Pie for ya. Delicious, huge slices of pizza, huge pieces of pepperoni slapped on top of cheese, and OPEN LATE!This is exactly what we needed after a long day (and weekend) of moving, and it was a struggle finding some place open so late. Alas, NY Pie was open AND was delicious. There's also a small parking lot next to it which makes it super easy to pull in and park since it's on a busy street. The inside is small but super cute and has everything so no complaints here (chips, sodas/waters/gatorade, and a bar height table to eat along a window). Classic pizza joint. Will remember this place as the hero of our moving weekend!!

we have been to a couple of their other restaurants and they were good so while we were in the area, we stopped by the one in Wellesley. street parking only but we were able to find plenty of street parking. at least the meter is a quarter for 30mins. the service was good. we ordered chicken parm because that was all we ever tried from them. we wanted the garlic bread because we remembered their bread was really good. they actually asked if we wanted a whole side of garlic bread or they can give us each an extra piece which we were grateful that they offered that instead of having 6 whole pieces of bread as a side. they gave a good amount of chicken parm as well.

I am in the area for business and just wanted a home style pasta and meatballs. Nothing fancy nothing over priced. Just good old school Italian food and I found it in this little gem of Mario's. The bread was perfect crusty and soft Inside. Even the simple house salad was just right. They have some nice items on the menu but I got their bolognese with pappardelle pasta and two meatballs and I got exactly what I craved. Home style Italian supper. It's not a fancy place. The waitresses were wonderfully pleasant and feel like family and it was just a great dinner. Go there. Thank me later. Oh I didn't post a picture. Because well 1. It's pasta the way mom served it and 2. I ate it too fast Mangia!!!

Dining method: Dine-in/counter serveItem(s) ordered: Egg and cheese on piadina, egg and cheese on everything bagel, peach lemonade, strawberry lemonadeSpeed: Took under 10 minutes for freshly-made foodAmbiance: Light, airy open-air cafe in the North End with a European feel. Beautiful place, a few tables. Value: Very much worth every penny! (@ducali, please don't change your prices :))The review: With social media unearthing every spot imaginable, one might think that hidden gems are out of the question. However, the North End certainly has one--Caffé Ducali. The aesthetically-pleasing eatery is just as delicious as it looks. When it comes to shelling out $1 extra for the piadina, you will absolutely not regret it. The egg and cheese sandwiches at Caffé Ducali were freshly-made, steaming hot, and downright delectable. The piadina was the best, essentially a small wood fired pizza crust, enveloping the egg and melty cheese. As a self-proclaimed bagel expert, the bagel was a close second. I usually get coffee everywhere but something possessed me to not only order the lemonade (strawberry), but to also convince my friend to do the same. I took some Yelp reviewer tax and tried hers, the peach lemonade, which was even better than the strawberry. They simply were delicious and refreshing. There is an attached Ducali Pizzeria & Bar, which I look forward to trying very soon. This was truly my top café experience in Boston, and I've been to many. Caffé Ducali is my new favorite and soon to be yours too!

Most pizza/sub places tend to offer the same menu items but not Neapolis! Though they do offer your standard pizza/sub options, they also have unique menu items to choose from like the Neapoli wrap which was outstanding! Will be coming back to try out more!

"Came here on a Monday night while on a work trip to meet up with friends in the area. Our waitress was nice and pleasant. We got the meatballs app (tasty) the parmesian fries and the Charcuterie board for appetizers. So good. I got Aperol Spritz and the others got beers. Good spritz! We ordered pizzas for our entrees and they were yummy. We had a wonderful time here, especially for a Monday night."
"New place that opened up in Belmont. I have to say the food and service is excellent. I had the pleasure of visiting Lisa's family pizzeria 3 times in one week and each time the food is consistent and delicious. Steak and cheese sub was phenomenal and I reccomend you get the bread toasted. They are very generous with portions here so you will be happy. The wings come in variety of flavors I chose the bbq and let me tell you they do not fry the wings, but bake them. They were so tasty and full of flavorChicken parm was another great sub. The sauce was homemade and the chicken was fresh and mouthwatering. Pizza is a thin crust with the right amount of sauce and cheese I had a slice everytime I came in. The place is small with a few tables but they deliver and have takeout..."
"Old school scrumptious pizza with great hospitality, this little place is your neighborhood to go pizza joint. Nice big slices in a no frills place, run by the family. Armando's is keeping it real here, just like I like it! Ciao"
"So good. So good. So good. BYOB. Outdoor dining available. Calamari appetizer with marinara. Stuffed lobster entree and fried scallops. Service was great. They provide setup for wine. Delicious. We had about an hour which was well worth the wait."
"Recently new to the Brighton neighborhood , tuck away from the busy and main roads. Not too many pedestrians in this general area to show off their local pizzas and speciality. Came in to grab a couple of quick slices and were greeted by a the pleasant owner and his friendly cashier. The pizzas were thin crusts with the right amount of sauces and cheeses. For a quick bite it was delicious and I would come back to order their dinner plates and sandwiches next time."
"This spot deserves awards. Chef Dave has an amazing story of resiliency and maintains an impressive menu. Crispy Eggplant Caprese busts with flavor and the scallop bacon pizza is unmatched!"
"I love this place. My gf found this restaurant online so we checked it out last night. The vibe is really nice and relaxing. Anthony was our bartender and a nice guy. His family owns the place. The Valpolicella red wine is to die for. I actually ordered 2 bottles to go it was so good. I wish I had taken pictures of the food but I forgot. The Bruschetta was very tasty and a large appetizer. The Shrimp Scampi was delicious and a large portion. The house salad with the homemade Cucumber Dill dressing was also delicious. If you're looking for a hearty meal, this is your spot. I couldn't dine here regularly as I'd gain 100 lbs. in no time, but I could see coming here weekly for sure."
"Food was good. service was very accommodating especially the bartender/serverIt's a small place make a reservationThe aquarium was nasty looking with cloudy water - it doesn't really fit in"
"Yes, the parking lot sucks - get over it. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is excellent, so its worth dealing with the hectic lot; the juice is worth the squeeze. First, I'd just like to say that they make the best hot-and-dirty around (top 3 ever, honestly). Mostly classics here, but done super well, using high quality ingredients. A sneaky star is the steak, especially tenderloin that comes with a perfect mushroom risotto."
"Geppetto was stellar! My favorites of what we ordered: the fried mozz appetizer (I've never seen it made or presented in this way before, with crispy bits layered on top and a delicious tomato sauce on the bottom), the lobster pasta, and the ginger pan cotta dessert. Things I would skip next time: the Caesar endive (not bad and I appreciated the inclusion of anchovies, the hallmark of a good Caesar, but the croutons tasted a little stale and I admit I am just not an endive person). I'd recommend getting the garlic pull-apart bread as a shareable on the first visit but aside from the pillowy innards, I thought the other dishes stood out more, particularly the two desserts. If you love boozy coffee desserts, you definitely need to get the tiramisu but I preferred the ginger panna cotta - my mind absolutely blown, one of the best desserts I've had in a while. I could have gotten my own order. Our waiter was awesome, gave us lots of great recommendations. We were trying to decide which dessert to get, including the special (some sort of napoleon), and I appreciated his very strong endorsement of the other two, which was borne out by how we licked the plates clean. Parking wasn't too bad - after circling around the area, we found a 2-hour spot about 5 minutes away. The Lechmere T stop also close by."
"Absolutely magic meal. In town for a weekend with my wife and did not know that one should have reservations for fine Italian... We were fortunate to get a seat at the bar.Wonderful ambiance. Great vibes...Super friendly staff yet professional. And the food was to die for. You know that meal when you say to yourself, "I am going to remember this particular moment for the rest of my life..." It was that meal. I had the Seafood Risotto and my wife had the Lobster Pillows (ravioli). The bread and pesto was amazing. And trust me. Get the Parmesan.Highly recommended."
"Wow... haven't had a meal this delicious in a long time! Cannot stop thinking about it, I'm going to have to come back. Drinks: they have a very short cocktail list, but there wasn't one I didn't like. Do not skip the clockwork orange! I typically don't like whiskey but this was incredible- a favorite by a long shot. It has a slightly spicy aftertaste. The fiore rosso was refreshingly sweet and not too heavy on the florals. Food: omg. The saffron lumache is to DIE FOR! Generous on the clams/shrimp, pasta shape is so fun, and the garlic white wine sauce is perfect- not too heavy or overly garlicky- 100% would reorder this dish. As for apps, the shaved brussel sprouts were the best I've had (whatever sauce they're in is delicious) but I wouldn't call it a salad. The meatballs were decent, but my friend did not like them. If anything, I'd subtract half a point for service- our waitress wasn't the friendliest, and drinks took forever to come out. There was also a large delay between appetizer delivery which I thought was strange, but the main dishes were delivered timely."
"Attentive service, romantic ambiance, and dinner reservations weren't too hard to get on a weeknight. Best dishes of the night:- Spaghetti Carbonara (Pancetta, Maine uni, egg yolk, black pepper, parmesan)- Beef Heart Pastrami- Coppa di Testa (Crispy braised pigshead croqueta, apricot mostarda, golden beets, grain mustard, cress) Good but not the faves: - Zeppole (Ricotta donuts, raspberries, yogurt, vanilla milk crumble)- Cavatelli (Chicken sausage, tomato broccoli sugo, fennel pollen, parmesan)They also make a delicious negroni and their lavender soda is very refreshing. Would absolutely come back to Coppa for more beef heart pastrami and carbonara!! One of the best meals of my visit to Boston."
"Came here for a work-related dinner (meal served along with an educational talk) with a large group - so didn't really choose from any drinks or entrees but had a chance to try a salad and one of the pasta dishes (penne bolognese).Arugula salad with shaved parmesan cheese - was quite good - liked the flavor on this a lot. Went well with black pepper seasoning which one of the servers added to taste (I asked for a lot and my wish was granted).Penne Bolognese with veal, beef, pork. Got this loaded up with extra parmesan cheese as well because why not. Overall a nice pasta dish and the penne was cooked perfectly. Would have been nice to have a little more fillings/meat but overall the flavor was balanced and I was satisfied."
"Wow, I was pleasantly surprised by what a good lunch I had here! If I could find anything to nitpick, it would just be that the server didn't check in on us as frequently as I would have wanted them to. It took us a while to order and a while to pay the check, because we couldn't find someone to help.First off, Sulmona was decorated for the holidays and it looked so nice indoors. I loved the natural lighting and how open it was. I ordered the spaghetti and a side house salad. The spaghetti portion was small, but the side house salad was huge! Made me wonder how big the actual entree size is. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente (how I like it). And the house salad was delicious as well! Would def recommend this combo for lunch / I would love to come back for dinner next time!"
"I absolutely loved this place! My wife found it through a Yelp search, and it turned out to be one of our favorite stops in Boston. Parla is a small speakeasy-ish restaurant/bar with fifteen to twenty people at once. The fresh and clean cocktails are mind-blowing; pick your liquor and the mix to go with it and get back something that you will order repeatedly. We had three cocktails each and rolled into a small snack (their kitchen opens at 4). We had the grilled octopus and beef meatballs, mouth-watering, and could have ordered a second round. Seriously, it's a fantastic place; we will be back during our next Boston trip."
"Glad this space is now occupied by Bar cino. This is just what the area needed. Love the Italian food here. Great meatballs. Great Flatbreads. Amazing server! The staff is so nice here. They gave a cool patio for outdoor dining as well. I was very happy with this visit. I'll be back because it's so close."
"Stopped in for a drink before heading back to the hotel, we had Bridget for our bartender and she was seriously FABULOUS!She took the time to talk to us and explain to us about the liquor and cordial licenses in the NorthEnd. Great vibes, people, drinks, music. Stop in, talk to the bartenders, have a drink or 3 you won't regret it!"
"I've been back several times in the past year while in town ... I also tried the eggplant and chicken parm sandwich and the chicken bruschetta sandwich Fast service either ordering online ahead of time or going to store Good place to grab a quick lunch Open Saturdays closed Sundays"
"I live near Avellino's so it's a great option for a fast meal. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and their menu is pretty big. They have a wide variety of everything and I've enjoyed everything I've had there. A few of my favorites: Cesar salad with shrimp, tuna sandwich, caprese sub (get extra balsamic, it usually doesn't have enough), and any of their pasta dishes! They always have specials and they offer coupons and promos. They are fast, reasonably portioned and priced and always friendly."
"While I never knew this alley existed w/ various shops, glad my friend suggested it. There is an outdoor patio which is lovely. They thankfully have some veg*n options which is good. Good drinks, good food, & good ambiance but pricey. I would say the service was good too but the server spent a bit too much time w/ their resident skunk that comes out every evening & steals the show. I think more time should be spent on customers so we can order dessert, get check, etc. It took longer than it should have so maybe just depends on who & when you go."
"Came here for drinks on a Friday night. It's a pretty small venue if you're just there for drinks so keep that in mind. The drinks, however, were awesome! Any drink that comes in a martini glass they give you the rest of the shaker too so it's a great deal. The bartenders were very friendly and the vibes were great."
"Note: This is our first visit since the change in ownership. We've been a few times previously and always enjoyed our visit. One of the draws to this place was Keno, and I'm sorry to report that it's gone. Finito. Gonzo. What the hell...That is all."
