    New to Oak square. Nice addition to the neighborhood. My favorite is the Caprese Salad and the Tiramisu. The presentation of the Fruitti di mare was appetizing . The carbonara was presented well but it was not traditional. Signature Meatballs were ok. I would like to try the artisan pizza next time. It looked like they get a lot of orders. They are take out but you can dine in. The ambiance was clean modern-and casual. No restrooms. Staff was nice.

    Beautiful restaurant. The owner and her husband are great people. The servings were perfect and everything tasted fresh. This family eatery is worth your money and worth the effort of their 'reservation by call only' style.

    Chicken Parmesan with pasta

    We had a terrific experience at From Scratch! We were warmly welcomed into the cozy dining area by such friendly staff. The food already smelled delicious! We had a bread basket with an amazing oil dip. The chicken noodle soup of the day came in a large cup and was hot and so perfect for a winter night. We also shared the 4 meatballs with lots of parm cheese on top, so good!! For our entrees we had the chicken parmigiana and the pasta bolognese. Both were incredible and came with fresh pasta. We will definitely be returning for more delicious dishes since there are so many more to try on the menu. What a neighborhood gem!

    10/10!!! If you love italian food, not going here would be a crime!! Can't stress it enough - this is the best Italian food in the Boston area. Blows all of the North End restaurants out of the water by MILES. Lobster Rav, Buff Pizza, Tiramisu, and Chicken Parm were all PERFFFECTION!! As someone who frequently has traveled to Europe & is also a foodie - this is the bar. The service was beyond nice & we got all of our stuff quickly! You could feel the authenticity. It's a cute place, went there for a casual-nice-ish date.

    If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. Delicious food. Fresh salad, bruschetta was delightful and homemade pasta and Bolognese was wonderful!

    I love the food here! Authentic Italian food and friendly service. You can watch them prepare the food while you wait!

    seafood with pasta with red sauce

    I love it when food makes me happy and the food From Scratch made me very happy today. I find this place a little frustrating that. they don't have a website and they don't offer Delivery . I hope that is something they will consider in the future because if they offered delivery, I could see myself ordering from them once or twice a week The place is small but very clean and very nice the people extremely nice and friendly and accommodating . I ordered the seafood pasta in a light tomato sauce. It was loaded with shrimp, mussels , and calamari. it was such a large portion at a very reasonable price that I brought some home and while I'm still full, I'm thinking of going and finishing It was that good . my friend ordered the salad with salmon. It was a large piece of salmon, well cooked and seasoned perfectly and she cleaned her plate. It's just really good. They had some interesting pizzas that I'm dying to try and they also offer cheese pizza but it's not on the menu which I think is odd. I hope more people give this business a chance they will definitely come back and it would be a great addition to the Allston Brighton neighborhood.

    Chicken Parmesan Pasta

    As always, From Scratch delivered excellent food and friendly service. Truly a hidden gem in Boston. The asparagus saffron risotto was rich, comforting, and delicious and the chicken parmesan with homemade pasta was as good as we hoped it would be. We tried the tres leches for dessert, and it was delicious (with a maple-forward flavor... like if pancakes and syrup turned into cake). Try the new cocktail menu... the blackberry margarita (pictured) is good, but we enjoyed the dirty martini and Mediterranean cosmopolitan at another recent visit. We are leaving the neighborhood soon, but this has been a mainstay of our time here and we are so disappointed to leave it behind! Hopefully we'll be back for another visit soon.

It strikes a nice balance between crisp, but not burnt.

Service can admittedly vary depending on events at TD Garden, but once I'm seated, servers are prompt and friendly.

So we made the trek up to Thacher...it's not in the middle of all the Italian places, but not too far, either. Of course we had blistering heat on July 4 and there was a line. We were told 20 minutes to wait and the line did move as promised. Note that there were some locals in line with us. Regina's is not a tourist trap. We wanted to do a half and half pizza with pepperoni and chicken pesto, but were told you had to do a "build your own" for that. Two small pizzas were not too much higher in cost than a large. Prices are reasonable, we spent less than $50 for two small pizzas and two drinks. The pizzas were very good and the crust was excellent. Service was good. The place is small and I hear the Thacher location is better than the Fanueil Hall location. The menu has quite a few options, including a couple of vegetarian pizzas.

    I was craving a pizza after a late night enjoying the city. I had a discount promo for Uber Eats…read moreand decided to use it here. They had several options on their online menu. I decided to go with the Wicked Pesto Pizza. It came with the signature crust, pesto base, grilled chicken, blue cheese, asiago, and fresh garlic. The driver dropped it off in front of the building and I picked it up. After first trying it, I was not impressed. It was very hard and dry. I had to reheat it in the microwave for it to be edible. I was expecting a delicious pizza packed with flavor. Instead I got something that I had to force myself to eat. I know Boston is not known for their pizza but I was expecting something halfway decent. If it was not for the Uber Eats discount I would have been upset with spending the cash. Next time I will try to check out some other spots for a slice of pizza.

The slices are generous and satisfying. The slice and drink special is a great value, especially in this part of the city. Service is quick, direct, and efficient. It is easy to stop in, order, and get on your way. There are plenty of tables inside and a decent number outside if you want to sit and enjoy your meal. The location is hard to beat. Just a few blocks from Boston Common and the Public Garden, it is a perfect stop for a casual lunch or snack. This is my go-to spot when I want a quick, high-quality slice in the area.

    Santarpio's is one of the most famous pizza joints not just in Boston or in New England, but…read moreperhaps in all of America. It's legendary around these parts. Even though I was born and raised in the Boston area and have resided here for the entirety of my three decade long life, I've never had the original Santarpio's pizza until just now. I remember eating at their second location on Route 1 not long after it opened, but I thought it was just okay. Ever since then I've always thought to myself, "the original has gotta be better, right?" Well, my boyfriend and I finally made our way to the original Santarpio's on a Saturday a little after noon. The place isn't much to look at but was hopping for the weekend lunch rush with almost every table full, and we got put in what appeared to be one of the last available tables in the place. Our order was taken very quickly after sitting down. The menu is strictly pizza with around a dozen toppings to choose from and a handful of grilled meats. That's it. We ordered a pizza with garlic and hot peppers as well as a steak tip skewer. The steak tips were juicy and cooked nicely, but they tasted like they lacked seasoning or marinade so I had to sprinkle some salt and pepper on them. Of course, the pizza is what we were really there for and I can tell you that it checks all the boxes for a classic pizza. The crust is on the thinner, crispier side which I actually prefer. The pie as a whole had a great color and good flavor between the cheese, sauce and toppings. After experiencing it for myself, it's pretty easy to understand why Santarpio's is so highly regarded in the world of pizza. They stick to what they know and they execute it well.

We had the meat lover's pie and oh my. Wgat a delicious fusion animals, cheese, tomatoes and crust. The taste took me back to a pizza I had many years ago at a place in Cambridge--in a great way! They only sell whole pies, which at first seemed annoying (the first time I tried coming here a few years ago I was by myself and couldn't eat a whole pizza alone) so I had to make this my inaugural tasting). But I see that as ensuring you are only eating a fresh product, where all the ingredients cook into each other and come out hot and ready, instead or something reheated from four hours ago because the day was slow. The menu is simple: pizzas and meat skewers. They know what they do well and lean into it hard. The ambiance has a rustic feel, with tall, weathered wooden booths that make eating a close experience, so please bring people you really like! The servers are present but not hovering and checked on us with the kind of frequency that says, "yeah we should let you eat but not forget you are there." I will be back for sure.
