   My neighbor and I enjoyed the Presto Lunch at Il Massimo in Dedham, and will definitely be back. Not only is the Presto Lunch an excellent value, but we really appreciated the variety of food options. We both ordered something different for all three courses, and we both loved what we ordered. The portions were also large for lunch, and we both took about half of our entree home to enjoy later. On a side note, I'm very particular about eggplant parmigiana, and the eggplant parmigiana I had at Il Massimo was wonderful, and worth a return trip just to have that again. In addition, my neighbor must have gluten free options for medical reasons, and not only did they have a lot of gluten free options for her to choose from, she said everything she ordered was delicious, and she is already planning her next visit with another friend.

   Two friends celebrated their birthdays with the 3-course lunch and a glass of Procesco. It was a delight to see a special birthday sign on the table and confetti when we were seated. A wonderful and welcoming touch! Our server, Peter Z., was outstanding . Very attentive and professional, and friendly. He made the celebration special for us. I would recommend this place for a celebration or just meeting friends. The 3-course lunch was a great value, and generous portions and delicious-we had the chicken parm and the chicken picattta.

   The server, Rodrigo, was excellent. It was very busy and we were celebrating my wife's 75th birthday in a party of four. The food was okay, not great and not as good as the last time we were there. One problem that wasn't the vault of the restaurant but certainly was unpleasant for for us, was that it was quite cold outside and our table was positioned so that every time the doors were opened we got a blast of cold air. It was very uncomfortable the whole time we were there.

   Our waitstaff was wonderful and the food was good. We’d never been before but we were meeting friends coming from Needham and us from Boston so found a place in between! Would definitely go back!

   Met up with family for brunch. Awful weather so the restaurant was not busy when we arrived. Service was very pleasant and attentive. Gluten free bread for dipping was provided as well as to accompany my Crabcake Benedict. Delicious. Test of the party had the Short Rib ( great) and the Lobster Crepes ( also very good). My son ordered some Bombolini to share. ( basically 2 giant Nutella Doughnuts) Cocktails were good and came promptly. Parking is very easy right out in front so we didn’t have to spend a long time in the rain after we finished. Would do this again. Nice brunch with interesting options.

   Good dinner; our server was great as well. My only feedback is that the kitchen/bar was doing last call at 9pm due to the weather (which the host was very communicative about over the phone), but it was a word experience. Employees were leaving right at 9pm; we didn't even finish our drinks because of how uncomfortable it felt with everyone leaving right at 9pm and being the last guests in the restaurant. Very unfortunate for our Valentine's Day dinner.

    Wonderful evening with friends to celebrate my birthday. It was so good this was the second time celebrating with friends and family there! Great staff and the food and drinks were exceptional. Thanks for making my birthday special.
