This place doesn't have nearly enough raving reviews. I hope that changes…read more I love a subtle concept. Hip hop meets Korean fusion. Cheeky cocktail names. Original dishes. Everything executed *perfectly.* Started with the White Girl Woke. Perfect blend of flavors and not too sweet. Ordered Da Wangs. Word to the wise, they are massive. Delicious. Perfect Korean fried chicken crunch. Main was the Gnocch Bokki. The flavors were SO rich and decadent. I basically picked my plate clean. The food came with kimchi and white rice on the side. Overall fantastic meal. Service was good. Not overbearing. No fake friendliness. Efficient and helpful. The chef came out at one point as well. I complimented the fantastic food as well as the hip hop music piping in over the speakers. I'm currently trying to come up with an excuse to come back tomorrow.

However, Da Wangs (aka wings) will be always on it as I noticed from their past menus shown here. Keep in mind though, it is not ideal for families with little ones as it is a small place and all barstools. Chef was very nice! He greeted everyone and had a small chat.

Cute little indoor food court/market about a ten minute walk from the Commons. We drove in and…read moreparked on-street, using the Passport parking app to pay for our spot. There is also a kiosk you can use if you don't have the app. The roads in this area can be a bit challenging to navigate. If it's a nice day, just walk over. The interior is very high energy. I love the metal musician sculptures. The huge diorama by one of the entrances shows this spot in Worcester when the canal was the main source of traffic for goods. This is after all The Canal District. Today the canal is under the street just outside that door. Times they do change things. I very much appreciate these types of eating venues. Where everyone can get what they want. Sushi, Cuban, Burgers, Italian ice, Boba, Cookies. Options. For shopping you'll find a wine merchant, The Market Pantry sells loose teas, oils, spices and kitchen goods and an Irish goods store, Erin gift shop, sells beautiful Aran Island sweaters, Muckross brand hats and purses along with other Irish inspired items. A few high tops are located along one wall in a hallway toward the back. We found one larger table in a small alcove nearby the high-tops and then there is an open area at the front that hold about twenty tables or so. A microbrewery is attached to the market too. All the vendors we spoke with were very friendly. Definitely could have walked away with so much food and loose teas and gifts. Check out their social media pages for special events and spot lights on businesses.

Nothing I had here really stood out to me. I guess I was expecting more (like Quincy Market), but…read moreit's a bit small. There's a lot of variety, so if you and a friend cant decide on what to eat, this is the perfect place when in Worcester. It's a cool location, there's plenty a bars nearby, too.

After hearing so many great things about Mint, my friends and I decided to give it a try; spoiler…read morealert, it was amazing! I had never had Pho before, and the beef Bun Bo Hue was amazing. It had a delicious level of spice, and tasted nice and fresh. The scallion pancakes were crispy, and I loved my Lychee cocktail as well. Overall, excellent food and a fair price. In terms of ambiance, the restaurant is no-frills, clean, and has ample seating. Lastly, our server was attentive and kind. We would definitely go again!

It's a mix for me. The ambiance was amazing, great lighting and not too loud. The parking lot was…read morefull of water but honestly that didn't bother me at all, it added to the vibe of the place. I got the spicy ramen and my partner got the chicken non spicy one, please refer to pics as I forgot the name... highly recommend getting the chicken ramen, the broth is light and savory, additionally lots of protein and veggies to make it the perfect ramen bowl. The spicy ramen was okay, I love spice but this one was a bit starchy as if too much starch was used to thicken the broth. The noodles were also way too soft; and there's very little protein. I got beansprout as an add on and that was $2; a bit much if added onto the bowl.

We went on a Saturday night where it was quite packed (almost every single table was filled),…read morehowever, we still got seated quickly which was awesome. The service is great. Our food arrived fairly quickly as well. All of the staff are very friendly & attentive. The space is cool, very relaxing & open. As for the food, it was very, very SALTY. The mussels were good but once you reach the bottom of the bowl it was salty. The flavor of the wings were good but also salty. The ramen was also extremely salty as well so it seems like everything they make here is just overall on the salty side. If they just lessened every dish on that part, it would be perfect. But especially the ramen was very hard to eat without drinking 5 cups of water. The shirley temple was delicious tho! Food is 3/5 but service is a 5/5. So I will say the service definitely saved the rating from 3 stars.

So happy GIO is here! It's always so nice when a restaurant fills a special spot in your culinary…read moreinterests. We love seafood, and I'm often in the mood for high quality fried seafood in particular. The seafood is fresh, not greasy, cooked perfectly, and complemented by great sides. I'm not an oyster person but.. I couldn't resist trying them and they are excellent! Tuna tartare topping recommended. Fisherman's platter- HUGE and tasty! I tried this to sample several dishes at once. I almost always finish my food and I took half of this home! I did have a pre-meal and some oysters but still.. Crab cakes- big and really fresh crab forward! Unlike so many other places, any breading stays in the background. Lobster roll- great brioche roll and plenty of lobster meat. We will be back to bring our seafood-loving family and friends!

Had never heard of this place, now I wonder how it has good reviews…read more The oysters are just ok. The shucking job was not good and some oysters were just fragments. This happened after they gave our 12 oysters to the wrong table then took 18 more minutes to reshuch 12 oysters. I got a fish sandwich. There was just some crumbled pieces of fish on it. Meanwhile other tables got the fish and chips and it was over flowing with fish. I don't get it. Wife got the lobster roll, it was just ok, the roll was soggy so she just ate the lobster. The glasses of wine are insanely priced. My daughter got a ceasar salad that had mostly white romaine, the grilled chicken was bland and dry. The best thing they made was the tuna tar tar, ironically. Then to top off a not great 200.00 experience for 2 people, it took the waitress 15 more minutes to bother to come back and run the card. Maybe drinks and apps on the deck only. Very dissapointing. Lesson learned which I knew... don't get seafood so far from the coast.

Visited Via Italian Table for a company dinner, and it was a great choice for a group setting…read more The location is easy to spot! Sits at an angle on the street and is well lit from outside. Once inside, the lighting shifts to a nicely dimmed atmosphere that still feels comfortable and easy to navigate. We had a separate area for our group, and it was spacious enough to move around and mingle without feeling cramped, which I really appreciated. We had a three-course, set menu, and I started with the chicken soup. It was light and comforting, a great way to warm up the palate, especially since it was cold out that night. For my entrée, I chose the chicken parmesan. The chicken itself was crispy and not overly breaded, which I liked. I did wish there was a bit more sauce on the pasta, but overall it was still a solid dish. Dessert was cheesecake, which was nicely moist and topped with fresh berries. Our dinner also included complimentary drinks, and the service throughout the evening was very good. The staff was attentive and answered questions easily which was great for this larger dinner. Overall, Via Italian Table is a great option for company dinners or group events, but I'd also stop back in on my own even if just for a light drink at the bar.

Although the food wasn't bad, there were errors that cannot be overlooked…read more Our reservation was for 8:30 on a Saturday. We were seated on time, which was nice. Our waiter was good. Unfortunately that's were the positives end. The restaurant in unbearably loud. They start you off with bread and unseasoned oil which is weird, no parmesean, chili flakes, oregano? Nothing, just olive oil. We started with calamari, which was mostly tenticles, I don't mind this, but my wife only likes the rings. My wife ordered the surf and turf, I ordered the FraDiavlo. The food came out in decent time. Which can be added to the good column. Upon delivery the first thing we noticed is that the chef cut the steak in half. This caused the juices to run out leaving it dry, the surf was 3 shrimp, which seemed like they are precooked and used for either cocktail or this dish as they were chewy. My guess is they are precooked, chilled and brushed with oil and herbs before broiling to warm them up. The FraDiavlo lacked any hint of chili pepper and I had to request chili flakes just to make it edible. It consisted of 2 scallops, 4 shrimp and 2 chick lobster pincher claws. In summary, under seasoned, over cooked food in a place where you can't hear yourself think. Plans on spending upwards of $200 if you want wine or dessert. We won't be returning as there are far better restaurants in the area.
