Meal: Lunch, eat in All Ratings out of 10: Quality of food: 9 Food to Spend Value: 9 Quality of Service: 8 Overall Rating: 9 Whenever I am in the Boston area, I load up on Italian food. I really enjoy a good grinder, and a veal parm is Heaven on Earth to me when done right. I was looking for some options not too far from E Bridgewater, and Italian Kitchen popped up with some great reviews. My father in law and I decided to check it out for lunch. When we arrived, the place was already pretty packed, with a very long line to order. I took this as a great sign, particularly since the emanating smells were amazing, and the food I saw on people's plates looked fabulous. Italian Kitchen has lots of options, including sandwiches and pastas, but I went there wanting a veal parm, so that is what I ordered. The veal was very tender (maybe some of the most tender I have ever had), which combined with the cheese literally melted in your mouth. The marinara sauce had a wonderful flavor, and the bread was soft with a great texture and taste. Needless to say, I loved my sandwich. The place is a bit small and gets super busy at lunch. You wait in line to order, find a table, and then go pick up your order when your order is called. It is simple but effective. There is also a butcher attached to the restaurant where you can buy meat, pasta, bread, and other delicious Italian things. I ended up picking up some imported Ziti since I was going to be making some later in the week. The prices are great for the quality you get, and as I already said my sandwich was amazing. I definitely plan on going back the next time I am in town. read more

Italian Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Brockton, Massachusetts

New owners it's not anywhere as good as it used to be. The sauce is not the same as the old Italian kitchen, I miss how good it used to be.

I love their food. Best Italian food for sure. just wish they could improve their customer service

I travel to different hospitals because of my job, and I was told by the hospital Brockton to come to get Italian kitchen and I went there in order to sub meatballs and sauce took lasagna home and it's the best authentic Italian food I've ever had especially coming from the south read more

Ordered Chicken broccoli ziti alfredo, catered medium size, pickup, and all went well. The food was ready when I got there. It was hot and great tasting. My guests enjoyed the food. Will order again. read more

Overrated if you ask me. And the staff just suck. I ordered an antipasto and when I got it, it was covered in tuna. I hate tuna. So when I saw it, I mentioned it and the girl behind the counter was really rude when she said " So what do you want me to do, that's how its made " and gave me an attitude when I asked to just make another one without tuna. They did but when I went to get it and said Thank You, I got a dirty look and she didn't say You're Welcome, which is Working with the Public 101. I won't go back any time soon read more

This place is good eat great size portions it's been there forever good old homestyle Italian cooking The only downside is there's not a ton of parking other than that love it read more

We were expecting to be blown away based on the previous reviews but were left with disappointment. Not sure if the portion sizes are usually this small or if they downsized due to COVID. The pasta sauce didn't blow us away as we were hoping and unfortunately didn't have enough at the end to dip the complimentary bread into. My husband asked for provolone on his sub but it didn't come with any; the meatball and sausage flavors were very good though. The side salad was very fresh. read more

No cheese no sauce dryer than the Sahara desert-gross chicken Parm sub just saw another review with same looking sub. How are they in business read more

The food was really good! The garlic bread was fantastic! It was a little pricey for the size of the subs (only reason I didn't give 5) but absolutely worth it. Parking was a little bit of a concern, but you can eventually find a space. You can't go wrong here - old school vibe, and the food met expectations. read more

I've been here eating here for as long as I can remember and the food is always as good as that was the first time can't go wrong here

This place has an amazing old school feel. Its like your stepping into 1960s Brooklyn. Food was authentic original simple flavors. Everything tasted fresh. Service was direct and overall friendly. Chicken parm and sausage was addictive. I'll be going back to try more. read more

Food is great, but the guy working the register is so cranky, I feel like I'm talking to the soup nazi from seinfeld

Delicious Italian food, been a staple of the community forever, and the quality hasn't changed. Highly recommend

This place is a Brockton institution and I will get it every single time I come back home. Nothing compares.

I have been going here since I was young teen 1970's... Food has been so consistent for all these years! Ziti, Meatballs, tossed salad! What else can I say, one of my favorites. Check out the rest of the menu on-line! read more

There is a reason this place has been around for 40+ years now... CONSISTENCY. It has the best American-Italien food around. The chicken parm is absolutely a perfect 10. Tender chicken cutlets drenched in a smooth, peppery sauce. The sauce is the key here... been a family recipe since the joint was built. I travel the 30 minutes to get there without hesitation. Just a really really good and simplistic chicken parm with a sauce you will forever remember. read more

Italian Kitchen offers a food shop, and a restaurant attached to eachother. Every Christmas my family get the lunch meat for antipasto. They offer a bunch of imported products, deli type products, frozen pastas and so on, and hot packaged foods, and uncooked meats. Everything is excellent, the customer service is great. The restaurant is also amazing. I recommend the chicken parm, I dont know how they do it, but it seems to be wrapped around some cheese and a very light breading, and its absolutely delicious, and is very light, and not greasy at all. They also offer all kinds of subs which are great. Ive also had the meatballs, lasagna, salad, stuffed pasta things, and everything comes with these awesome fresh blukie rolls. My least favorite thing is probably the meatballs, and thats just because there not my grampas lol! Everything is great here, I highly recommend. Only downside they close early, by 7pm I think, they're closed Sundays, and the parking can be tough. read more

This place is the real deal! For sandwiches, try the the prosciutto and roasted red peppers or the eggplant parm or the chicken parm or the meatball or the veal parm, and you be very happy. It's like walking into the past. Very low key, like your Nana's cooking. Deeeeee-lish. The best meatballs and sauce. Go next door and buy their meatball mix so you can cook them at home. Very inexpensive red sauce Italian. The best. A hidden gem. Mangia! read more

Great authentic Italian food. Family run and warm family environment. Casual atmosphere

This is a great place to grab a meal! I've tried almost everything on the menu LoL! One of my favorite things to order there for lunch, is to order a salad, (personally I like the Greek Salad, the dressing they use is fantastic and they are very generous with the cheese too) and I also have them add a couple of meatballs and a sausage on the side. They also include a bun. Doing this allows me to skip the pasta have a salad eat like a king and still dip the bread in there absolutely yummy delicious homemade tomato sauce. Speaking of tomato sauce, they have by far one of the best. We like it better than some of the fancier restaurants we go to and often find ourselves comparing their's to others as well. It's really the perfect balance it's not spicy nor sweet but definitely would never be confused with bland. Just leaving this review is making me hungry! I had a great lunch today there and now plan to go again tomorrow. I'll mix it up though and get the trio which allows me to have a nice mix of pastas :) read more

I bought a Chicken Parmesan Sub with extra cheese. My sub was dry and didn't have flavor. I was expecting a delicious lunch extremely disappointed. read more

Italian Kitchen - Chicken Parmesan from Italian Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Brockton, Massachusetts

This is a classic spot. The food is so good, quality ingredients and well made. A business that has been around for a long time and has a huge impact on the community, I would highly suggest stopping here if you're in the area. read more

My boyfriend wanted pizza but somehow we ended up here. And though we didn't get what we wanted, we were happy with the decision to stay. A pleasant, polite Paul took our order. The wait wasn't long. Despite wanting it to go we ended up staying to enjoy our food. Wow, is all I can say. The chicken parm was yummy. Nice ratio of soft vs. crunchy texture and a tasty sauce as well. The lasagna was sitting in a really great sauce and I'm sure the pasta and cheeses were fresh. Everything tasted authentic. We see why there were great reviews of the restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will be returning soon. read more

I must have driven by this place a thousand times in the 15 years I've lived in this town. Someone suggested I actually go in and order some food. Good advice! So I did. I ordered veal parmesan and WOW for a second there I thought I was having an out of body experience that teleported me to Boston's North End without need of vehicular assistance. The kid behind the counter seemed a little clueless a-la "will you be needing a fork?" (No, I plan to eat it with my hands.) Who cares though? Lunch was awesome today. Plan to go back with my lady in tow. read more

I expected more. Eggplant parm on a hotdog bun? Quite mushy. Maybe ONCE upon a time, this had good food but that's not the case now. Don't waste your time or money. Go somewhere else. read more

Im Italian I eat Italian food all the time. I remember when I was little my grandma would always make italian food it was so good. When I walked into the Italian Kitchen it felt like grandmas house again. It is a nice little restaurant they have a very good reputation in the area and it is well deserved I when in there and i got chicken parmesan and it was so good I wanted seconds. It was so good I take out there almost twice a month and I keep crawling back for more. By far it is the best Italian restaurant in Brockton and I would recommend it to anyone who needs that taste of grandmas cooking. read more

Awesome subs. Delicious sauce to take home by the quart. Meetballs are so good as are the sausages and chicken parm. This place has it right. I ate here in the 70's as a kid and it has always been a Brockton favorite right up there with Cape Cod Pizza. It is however geared to take out orders. There are some tables, but not too many and it is not a restaurant atmosphere whatsoever. Just standard pizza place booths. People will be picking up their take out orders within 5 or 6 feet of your table the whole time you are eating if you decide to eat in. The food is delicious though. ***would be 5 stars, but I got extremely overcooked sausages last time (first time ever though). Plus it's in the Campello section of Main St., practically across the street from a very busy liquor store. Not the worst area, but it's not so great either. There's barely any parking. read more

Italian Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Brockton, Massachusetts

Basic Italian food FAST and a conplete delight. I finally made it to this little gem. Generous portions and delicipus Italian food. I ordered the eggplant parmesan. Delectable. read more

After living in Brockton for 30 years, I had my first Italian Kitchen experience. Why I waited so long, I don't know. First the restaurant side, I have only gotten take out from here, usually after the lunch rush. I usually get gnocchi with sausage and meatballs. All of the food is simply done, and consistant in quality. Everything I have ever had, has always been really good. Prices are pretty decent for the amount of food that you get. The Italian market side, I have been in twice, usually in kind of a rush, so I haven't really gotten to see everything that they have, but I have gotten a few things; Garlic butter sauce, which they sell by the pint or quart; Frozen eggplant parmesan, which you bake in the oven; and finally, they have frozen bar-style pizzas from somewhere in the Lithuanian village (i think?). On my last visit I saw frozen gnocchi, but haven't tried that one yet.. The prices over here, seem on the higher end, but still totally worth it. read more

I've been loving the meatballs from IK since I was a little girl...I won't eat them from anywhere else including from my now deceased Nonna's kitchen! You know that went over well (yikes)!! Always consistently good whether it's trays for a party or just bringing home a few. read more

Absolutely delicious! The people that work their were so nice and super helpful. The food was authentic and flavorful! Their sauce and salad dressing was amazing. Can't say enough good! read more

I am often told about this place, and decided to try it. The eggplant parm sub I ordered was very expensive and not the price listed on the menu (I was charged almost ten dollars for something that was listed as seven and change). When I opened the sub, the bread was covered in sauce, and the eggplant, while well cooked, was barely seasoned and pretty tasteless. The sauce itself tasted plain and like it came out of a jar, and the bread was your average sub shop quality (honestly, Subway bread is much better than than smushed, bland sub roll I recieved, and I would expect an old style Italian joint to do better than a giant chain). I'll give them two stars since it was clean and service was polite, but I don't plan on returning. read more

I have been coming here since i was a little girl with my grandparents. I have NEVER had a bad meal. The classic spaghetti and meatballs always hits the spot. Great service. Food is always ready fast and comes out hot. Same people working there since i was little so i love seeing familiar faces. I always have them cater my birthday parties and events. CHICKEN BROCCOLI ZITI is the best in the country hands down. Love this place so so so much. read more

This place is not all what it's cracked up to be. The meatball sub was simply okay, absolutely nothing to talk about. Went once and will never go back. read more

Delicious food. Always consistent. Great serving portions for your money. We order all the time.

by FOOD_NINJA 07/19/2011 I don't understand what all the "hubbub" is regarding this place. Maybe it used to be good... I don't know. Al I know is my place of employment had catering done by them and my cat could have made better/more authentic Italian food. I also had the misfortune to dine-in with the same results. Food is bland, VERY bland and uninspired. Absolutely no love of creative thought is put into their food. I am sorry to say this but it is true. I wish they had better food as I enjoy patronizing locally owned/operated businesses. VERY disappointing. The deli side is great though :) read more

If you live in or around a city with really good food, say Boston or NYC, you will return to the Italian Kitchen in Brockton only because you're stuck in Brockton and getting an edible meal there is almost impossible. The diners who enjoy very simple American-style "Italian" will be satisfied with the joint. Expect indifferent service, boring sauce and over-cooked everything and you'll not be disappointed. read more
