Pammy’s is a New American restaurant inspired by the feel of an Italian neighborhood trattoria. Perched between Cambridge’s Central and Harvard Squares, Pammy’s is a cozy yet sophisticated neighborhood destination. For husband and wife team Chris and Pam Willis (who live right up the street), Pammy’s is an extension of their living room. They’ve brought together their love of great food, easy hospitality and chic vibes to create a lively space that is welcoming to all looking for a memorable meal. With dishes that lean heavily on Italian flavors but are not restricted by any rules of the cuisine, the food is unpretentious and delicious. A fireplace wrapped in white ceramic, an oversized salvaged communal table designed for side-by-side dining and rich leather banquets are just some of the design elements that make up Pammy’s charm.We're currently serving a Prix Fixe menu for all reservations. A la carte dining is available for walk-in guests at our bar and in our lounge.

    Superb food. The warm semolina cakes were special. The casarecce was delicious as well and the pistachio gelato (pardon my sweet tooth) was excellent! Great hospitality, the server was super helpful and knowledgeable. Giulia also accommodated my request for vegetarian food by providing us with an off-the-menu appetizer and main course option, even though their menu had vegetarian options. The quality of everything we had was top-notch. The food was paced well. We noticed that as we were there at 8:45 PM, absolutely famished! Totally worth another visit!

    This is hands down the best steakhouse and fine dining experience in Boston - we celebrated my boyfriend's birthday and he got the Wagyu steak! I tried it and it tasted so tender and buttery and decided that I really love this steak - even as a non-steak eater ! Just remember to be specific with your busser and be clear about what you're still working on finishing - don't say I'm all set, or they will clear your plates - they have a very high standard of service and it shows! Liam brought us a personal birthday card and checked on us, which was so sweet and added that personal touch we've all been craving! GET the chocolate cake if you have room! It was expensive but actually so worth it - with an app, drinks, and 2 premium meals and 2 sides (creamed spinach and mashed potato), plus the tip it was $360 - so be prepared with your credit card to take a hit - but it's actually so worth it for the level of customer service and experience - the bread it also a huge bonus but don't fill up on it too quickly because the main plates are so abundant and heavenly!

    this has become our North End go to. this most recent trip, I tried the fusilli special. It was incredible. We keep going back for the food and service. Table attendants are always oin the lookout to fill water glasses, clear plates, bring bread and parm and offer to go packaging. We have had Catino as our server before. He is familar with us, professional, suggestive and on point. I trust his recommendations and appreciate his hospitality.
