    I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

    Prima is my #1 restaurant in Boston. I’ve been over 6 times in less than a year and it gets better and better each time. My boyfriend and I both tried the filets and they were INCREDIBLE. Truly one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. The Caesar salad and torta gialla are MUST ORDERS if you’ve never tried them!! I’m already thinking of my next reservation!!

    First visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.
