Often considered one of the best restaurants in Boston and per usual it stood up to it. Everything was cooked perfectly. You could nit pick dishes here and there on minor things, but it doesn't take away from a 10/10 experience. Loved some of the innovative flavor combinations and the service was excellent. Wine pairing could use some refinement, but I appreciated the adventurous choices. A couple of dishes, mainly the chicken really lacked flavor, the gochujang bolognese which is usually a 10 was a little underwhelming. Finally the short bread dessert could do without. But again, 10/10 everything was great.

We absolutely love this restaurant! We’ve been going there for dinner to celebrate our anniversary for 3 years now, so it has become a tradition. It’s a fixed meal menu where you get 3 dishes per person, and I highly recommend sharing to try out as many as possible. The place itself is beautiful and has a really nice vibe. The service was also immaculate. Anyway, nothing but good things to say. Definitely worth checking out.

OK. Get ready for great food! We loved our experience there. Great service, great vibe, fabulous food! But just a few recommendations : Have a light lunch, don’t do any munchies in the afternoon, don’t have all the great bread they bring you when you arrive. Then, if you follow these simple friendly advices, you’ll be able to eat all the fabulous 3 courses that will follow!!! Thank you Pammy’s team. We will come back to see you soon!

Pammy's prix-fixe experience ended up being the perfect choice for my small special occasion dinner with my parents, who are most familiar with Italian food when dining out but are starting to try new things. I actually can't overstate how much of a success this was for them (and therefore me) lol! We ordered 9 delicious dishes that were all thoughtfully prepared, balanced, and presented, and everyone found a new dish they were surprised by and loved. Food was the star of the show and conversation. The kitchen does great things with pasta and seafood. Space was lovely and still felt intimate despite the close and lively atmosphere - good spot for your fancy little date or special occasion. Service was considerate and friendly, too.

We had a wonderful dining experience at the restaurant with my partner! The Lasagne Bianca was a standout—absolutely delicious and a true highlight of the evening. My personal favorite, however, was the Lumache, which was perfectly spicy and rich in flavor. The Squid Ink Gnocchi was also an excellent choice, adding a delightful variety to our meal. The food was truly the star of the show! The wine pairing was great too, perfectly complementing each dish. That said, the one downside was the tight spacing. The tables are quite close together, making the small dining area feel a bit suffocating at times. Despite this, the service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Overall, a great spot for food lovers, and we’d definitely return for the incredible dishes—just hoping for a bit more breathing room next time!

Pammy's was their destination of choice for our daughter and son-in-law's recent wedding reception and I can't say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. During the cocktail hour, the appetizers flowed constantly and were exceptional. The bar staff were wonderful too. The food selections were right from the menu and everything was not only incredibly delicious, it was also served hot by an amazing and attentive wait staff. Our guests can't stop talking about how amazing the food and service was and what a wonderful time they had. I would highly recommend Pammy's for your next dining experience. Thank you to the entire staff at Pammy's for making our experience so simple and pleasant from planning to the final event.

Pammy’s exceeded all expectations. I was seated on a plush cushion beside the glowing fireplace, where lit candles flickered inside the hearth — easily the most charming seat in the house. The space feels like an intimate, stylish living room, thoughtfully designed and deeply welcoming. The service was the best I’ve experienced all month — better than Giulia, Talulla, Scampo, nine, and Moëca. The places I just mentioned, they all have stellar service! My server Adam checked on me many times, always anticipating needs before I voiced them. Lee or Leigh at reception was also exceptionally warm and gracious. The $84 tasting menu lets you pick any three dishes, and additional items are $20 each — simple, flexible, and smart. I ordered five items total: Gem Lettuce with Sicilian pistachio and strawberry — a bright, flavorful start. De Koning Mussels — tasty, though a smaller portion. Lumache — their flagship dish since day one. I’m glad I tried it, though next time I’ll go with Adam’s recommendation: the Lasagna Bianca. Bluefish — a standout. This was the best bluefish I’ve had since the golden era of Legal Sea Foods in the 1980s. Highland Farm Venison — my favorite. Perfectly cooked and deeply satisfying. For drinks, I had two mocktails: Persephone — a complex blend of pomegranate, lime, pineapple, cinnamon, and club soda. Last Crusade — the winner of the night. Zero-proof amaro, turmeric, coconut, honey, ginger, and lemon — a sophisticated, golden drink I’d order again without hesitation. Pammy’s wins for its service, comfort, and quiet confidence. Next time, I’m going for the lasagna — and if I’m lucky, I’ll get the fireplace table again.
