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.

    Krasi exceeded my expectations with its bold Greek flavors and incredible wine selection. The crispy chicken skin was a highlight, pairing perfectly with the htapiti. The charcuterie board was outstanding, and both the apaki and patates were flawlessly prepared. The wine menu is exceptional, offering an impressive variety of Greek and orange wines, making for a truly elevated dining experience. A must-visit spot for anyone looking to explore Greek cuisine and wine at its finest. I’ll definitely be returning!

    Tasty American bar and grill food options at reasonable prices considering location. Wings, nachos, burgers, chicken sandwich and steak tips were all excellent. Churro doughnuts also a fun and tasty dessert. Great and fast service. Second time we’ve eaten here before a Celtics game and both times were a great experience.

    This place was perfect for a quick nice evening on our trip for the weekend. The servers were very pleasant and attentive. The drinks options were many and they did not disappoint. The food was awesome. Everyone of our selected options did not disappoint, from the calamari to the mozzarella sticks to the pasta. Will definitely visit again on my next trip.
