It is a smaller restaurant on the main drag in Jamaica Plain. There are about fifteen tables…read more Perfect for conversation. They have a high ceiling with a plant attached to the wall as well The decorations drew the eyes up extenuating the high ceilings The menu was limited to just a few items. We started with a dozen oysters. Six were from Cape Cod and six were from Nova Scotia. They have a special before six o'clock where oysters are 2.00 each. We also had a dish of olives wihich were served with almonds marinaded in a spicy sauce. The service was outstanding. The waitress mentioned to me about the oyster special so I could order before six o'clock. Sh was on her toes. I had the seared tuna on a bed of rice. It was on the smaller side but filling. I ended the meal with butterscotch pudding. I wish I had the recipe. I certainly would return.

I am not sure where to start with this review -- I have been to most restaurants on the Jamaica…read morePlain strip, but I was absolutely FLOORED by Vee Vee. I visited this past weekend with my partner and sister for a birthday. Reservations were easy to get -- try OpenTable! The restaurant was very warm and welcoming, my first impression was "cozy". The service was really good, our server was super helpful in explaining the menu and pointing out the specials for the evening. To start, we got the olives and the cucumber salad. Both were really well done, the seasoning on the peanuts that came with the olives was amazing. Perfect amount of appetizer for three people. I ordered the steak frites, and my fellow diners got the Cod and the Gorditas. The steak frites were super flavorful, but the highlight of the dish was the fries. Coupled with the aioli, the fries were a huge hit at our table (you have to order them!). The cod was also really well done, when I come back I will definitely order the cod. We grabbed the butterscotch pudding and chocolate cake for dessert. The cake was super moist and the perfect consistency. Two desserts was perfect for three people. If you live in JP, you NEED to come to Vee Vee. Perfect for a special occasion!

Then for a starter we got the risotto balls with had such great flavor, as well as coming out super fresh. We then went with the cheese pizza, drizzled with some sort of pesto and it was so good, the bottom has great undercarriage with no flop - so crispy! We opted out of dessert because we were too full but they still brought us these gingerbread tasting cookies - nice way to finish! Will most definitely be back soon.

Very cute place with a nice, small outdoor seating area. Our server/host was absolutely wonderful…read more He was so friendly and so accommodating! We ordered corn beef hash and Savory Crostata. My boyfriend loved his corn beef hash- looks small but very filling, rich and flavorful but wish it had more eggs. I didn't love the crostata. I heavily appreciated that the "greens" actually had other vegetables added to them to make it interesting and the potatoes were too crispy for me but that's personal preference. The crostata was good size and I loved the crust, I was just disappointed that it advertised goat cheese and I couldn't taste any. After eating we went inside to look at their pastry selection and they are absolutely beautiful!! We got the cream puff (gigantic and delicious), Nutella croissant (10/10 should get), and the butter cookie which was delicious but wish it was denser. The service truly blew me away and for that we Weill definitely be back to try more things.

** Salmon Tacos + Limonada**…read more These salmon tacos were outstanding. The salmon itself was cooked perfectly -- juicy and flaky, not dry at all. I was a little worried going in since the description mentioned it was fried, but there wasn't a trace of oiliness. Each taco was topped with a bright pickled red cabbage and a secret sauce that was applied with a light hand -- just enough for flavor without drowning the taco. On the side, a cup of black beans rounded out the plate perfectly. The limonada was refreshing and the perfect pairing for the meal. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself has such a great energy -- simple, colorful, and unpretentious. It genuinely took me back to little spots in Mexico before things got so commercialized. The prices were reasonable for the quality you get, and the whole experience left me already planning my next visit. Honestly can't believe it took me over 10 years to finally eat here. Don't make my mistake -- go now!

Elotes - 6/10. The flavor was good/typical, but the corn was hard and the kernels were too short to get proper bites. Beef empanadas - 5.5/10. They were so small, dry and NOT worth the price. Churros- 7/10. They were basic and nothing special. Overall, the food wasn't impressive or worth the price. Although it's close by and convenient, I doubt I'll return.

Only 4 bar counter seats were available in the 50+ seating space and we gladly accepted the offer.

It arrived within 15 mins and a to go tray was requested immediately. Coffee comes in a huge mug and it too was good. Will return and will take advantage of the full bar next time!

Very well balanced - I especially liked the stracciatella. Taleggio Capeletti (7/10): A bit too rich and too salty for my tastes. I think this dish just needed something to cut through the richness. Still really good nonetheless. Lumache (8/10): The chew on the pasta is impeccable!! The chew on those mushrooms is also insane. Texture-wise, this dish was a home run. For some reason, I kept getting hints of something resembling boar taint in the sauce flavor itself. Not sure why... I don't think there was meat? I feel like I would've given this dish a 10/10 had it not been for the hint of that flavor. Service was very friendly and fast. The restaurant is small, but the seating didn't feel too tight. Even though I gave it a 5/5, I actually don't know if I would come again. The pasta was very steeply priced for not that much food. Although the capeletti was surprisingly filling, I'd rather feel full on carbs than full on pure butter and cheese.

I'm actually getting salivating while posting this review and looking back at my food pictures. I get the Eggplant & Ricotta Pizza as my appetizer and the Rigatoni Amatriciana as my entree each time I go - because they're consistently amazing. The service is always warm and friendly, and I also love the music playlist they play. Believe the hype & come to Tonino!!

As far as drinks, I have only tried the coconut cold brew which is very thick/strong, I usually add a little bit of oat milk to it and then it's perfect.

If I lived closer I would go there every day for my daily cortado, it was perfect! Will be back for that kimchi and cheddar croissant. The flavour was amazing. Now I need them to do a kimchi cheddar scone!

All in all it would be a really cute date night spot too.

Tonight, I added Momo Masala to that list. I was also fortunate to have friends who live nearby, and when I mentioned to them I was going (hopefully to invite them), they said it was one of their regular places for take-out. But they also informed me that they did not have a liquor license. But that recently changed!! They now offer beer, wine, cocktails, and whiskey pours - none of these are huge amounts, but there are certainly enough options for any of these. Our group of 4 did sample several cocktails. They aren't super fancy (though some drinks do have garnishes or salty/spiced rims), but everything is well crafted. Momos first, if course. They offer several varieties, but if you prefer yours steamed, read the menu carefully, as not all varieties are available steamed. We got vegetable and chicken momos, the chicken ones in a broth. Their medium level of spiciness provided a nice but not overwhelming kick. Our entrees continued the high quality. Their chicken tikka masala has a very dark and rich sauce, and the chicken chunks were tender. The lamb was equally good. The naan here (we got garlic) is very crisp, just the way I like it. This is a popular take-out spot, but there are enough tables to accommodate people who dine in conveniently, with a relaxing ambiance. This is another great add to the wide variety of dining options in Jamaica Plain.
