I…read morearrived before everyone else and they were BUSY, so I grabbed a seat at the bar and had a glass of Prosecco while I waited. Once the rest of our party arrived, we were seated and had a great dinner. The portions here are extremely generous, everything was flavorful, and there was definitely plenty of food to go around. But the stuffed artichoke was the surprise of the night for me! It was my first time ever having one and it was FABULOUS. I would absolutely order it again. They also have a really nice birthday perk. As long as someone at the table orders an entrée, the birthday guest gets a complimentary chicken spiedini. And definitely save a little room for the spumoni ice cream because it was delicious! Overall, Garozzo's is more than just going out for Italian food. It feels like an experience. Big portions, great food, a lively atmosphere, and especially good for birthdays and celebrations. Definitely recommend!

There was plenty of seating and we got to pick a cute spot by the painting for the 2 of us! We ordered their newly added spinach Artichoke dip and both got a chicken Alfredo, a safe bet at a new place. Our server, Emiliana I believe her name is, was super attentive to our table and gave us refills on their DELICIOUS housemade rolls to go with the dip. The rolls were moist and buttery, the dip had chunks of Artichoke and tomatoes in it and was absolutely delish. Tasted like Alfredo sauce! The Alfredo was equally as good, with a decent sized chicken breast on top! Creamy, but not super dense and the perfect portion. Also came with a side salad, i picked Ceasar and the salad was perfectly tossed in a very delicious dressing. We shall definitely be back!

Tip to 715 tho: please do this again, but give me a bib next time like a proper New England baby. I adore you. I adore the patio. It's really nice this time of year on the patio.

Grace and The Mad Greek: A masterclass in Philoxenia... "the ancient Greek art of making a stranger…read morefeel like a God at the table". In a world of mediocre service and soggy pita, Grace at The Mad Greek stands as a titan among mortals. I didn't just eat dinner; I underwent a culinary baptism. The legend began the second I crossed the threshold. The hostess didn't just greet our group; she provided a welcome so warm I personally felt like a long-lost Spartan war hero returning to my village. Her smile was the lighthouse guiding us through the fog of hunger, setting a tone that whispered, "You are home now," and also, "you are about to eat a lot of feta." It was the kind of personalized touch that transforms a simple "table for three" into a banquet for the gods. (My apologies for not asking your name... but that's a lack of management's oversight, as there should be a sculpture-bust of your likeness, decorated with string lights, highlighting your name on a plaque so it's emblazoned on ever guests' mind, your name on the very tips of their lips...) Then, there is Grace. If hospitality were an Olympic sport, Grace would be draped in gold, standing atop the podium while the national anthem of Flavortown plays on a loop. She didn't just "take my order", she curated my destiny. Her timing was so precise, I'm convinced she can see five seconds into the future. My water glass never dropped below the halfway mark, it was as if she were performing some sort of Greek hydro-kinesis. Grace is the GOAT. Period. Then came the Greek Combo. Calling this a 'dinner' is like calling the Odyssey a 'quick blog post.' It was a sprawling, epic masterpiece on a plate. The gyro meat was sliced with the precision of a master sculptor, and the souvlaki was seasoned by the gods themselves. As for the spanakopita, it possessed a structural complexity that would make the architects of the Parthenon weep, with more golden, buttery layers than the shifting labyrinth of Knossos. Every bite was a journey through the Mediterranean that didn't require a passport, just a very large napkin and a moment of silence. If you haven't been served by Grace at The Mad Greek, have you even truly lived? Five stars isn't enough. There's a 'Michelin' Standard being overlooked on Mass street... in the modern "culinary constellation," stars are the ultimate symbol of excellence. By adding a "sixth star" to capture the intergalactic in Grace's service, I'm coming close to being able to describe the celestial level this culinary experience became that even the night sky struggles to contain. Grace: our dinner party will never be able to 'eat Greek' the same again. You've officially ascended to the Acropolis of hospitality as our eternal Goddess of the Sixth Star. And as they used to say in the old country: , ! (...it's all just Greek to me!)
