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.

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.

    Yummy cocktails to start. Fabulous dinner: chicory, foie gras walnut salad + octopus + lumache for me. Dining companions had the lasagna, bay scallops, and cobia. All were delicious. Katie recommended a delightful champagne to enhance the first courses. Pammy’s continues to be a gem.

    I stumbled on this place accidentally when the place I usually go to in Brookline was relatively booked, and I’m so glad I did! The food is outstanding, the cocktail, sublime, and the weight staff were friendly and extremely efficient. This is a gem of a place, not too big so you can have a nice conversation while you are enjoying the delicious food, I will be back!

    I’m from NYC, and I can honestly say this is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to in Boston. I still can’t believe how lucky I was to stumble upon this place and start the new year with such an incredible meal. Every single dish blew me away. We started with the arancini, Caesar salad, Sicilian mussels, and Maplebrook burrata. The focaccia was amazing too—it’s not a must since the starters already come with an assortment of breads, but if you pair it with the burrata, trust me, it’s worth it. We were so caught up in how good everything tasted that we practically forgot to breathe. Every bite was pure magic. For the main dishes, we had lasagna, bucatini, gnocchi, and shrimp carbonara. The shrimp carbonara? Absolute perfection. I can’t stop thinking about it—it was hands down my favorite. Also, don’t forget to get their tiramisu. I’m still thinking about that one. On top of the incredible food, the service was so warm and attentive, which just made the whole experience even more special. I left feeling so grateful and honestly moved. This place is something truly special.
