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.

I love this Eataly location. The food was terrific and the service was on par until the end when I think staff was distracted trying to close. It is a loud space so conversation was not the easiest but it is a festive vibe for sure. The waiter went out of his way to bring a few wines to taste to help me decide which was nice.

Service was prompt and friendly. Complementary sip of champagne was a great touch! Staff was willing and able to seat two separate groups not planning to dine together near each other as a last minute request. Food was excellent. Our group of 10 was very happy.
