Top 5 Specialty Food in Suffolk County

“Been wanting to come for so long now. Heard and read so many good things about their pizza. Came day after new years, so we got lucked out with no wait (compared to normally is a long line). This is cash only. Reasonably priced. Staff were friendly especially for first timers, they didn't rush you. Very spacious inside (for north end) with good amount of table seatings. Small menu so we wanted to try everything. They only have cheese pizza. But sells quick so they're always making fresh batches throughout the day. We got cheese pizza, Arancini, pizzette and panzarotti. Everything was good but I wouldn't say it'll be worth waiting in a long line for. 3.5 stars would be more accurate.”

“I’m not sure that “incredible” would be a big enough word to describe our experience here. We brought our 10 month old baby and were immediately welcomed with open arms. Our waiter was very sweet and offered us great recommendations. I …”

“This place is in china town. It was really good. I ordered beef. My husband ordered seafood for his shabu shabu. But I personally prefer beef. After I was done eating beef , I boiled the noddle 😋it was delicious. I highly recommend it. 💚🫶🏻”

“Decided to check this place out based on the reviews. Well it did not disappoint. We were able to snag a parking spot a block away and were shocked to get a table since the place is cozy. Maybe because it was late on a Sunday evening. Great …”

“Got a bunch of good food for delivery to try out the dips and bowls. Everything was very fresh and tasted great. Lots of vegetarian options between the lentil kofta, falafel, halloumi cheese. The labne mixed with the dips was also good, but my favorite definitely was the walnut harrissa. The bread is light and crisp and not a thick pita, which was fine. The zaatar bread comes as a wrap and is packed with flavor so I'd recommend that”

“Delicious veggie roti! I visited one night while I was in town for work. It was about 30 minutes before closing time and upon trying to pay for my food my card wouldn't work. After running it twice, the gentleman said "Oh, this is an American Express. We don't accept Amex." I asked them to hold on while I went to look for cash in my car, which as it turns out I did not have. I went back in to let them know that by time I would get back to my hotel (which was 20 minutes away) to get another payment method it would be nearly closing time. I told them I was sorry that they would end up having to toss the food and then they told me not to worry, just take it. They said it was on the house! That was so incredibly kind, they didn't have to give it to me but they did. I was very appreciative. If I ever find myself back in Boston, I would definitely come back here and also pay it forward. 💞”

“This cavernous brewery looks tiny from the outside, but upon entering you realize it's deceptively large.with exposed brick, gothic arches, and barrel decorations, the vibe is wine cellar chic. Whether you want to sit down for a meal or have some brews at the bar, there is something here for everyone. The beer was all pretty good from what I tried. I probably most enjoyed the stout. Smooth with great complex flavor with almost no bitterness. The food here mostly seems very good from what I saw. I did try the bao buns which were super fresh and tasty with crisp chicken and soft cloud-like buns. It tasted super fresh but I wasn't the biggest fan. I found them to be overly sweet (they do call it sweet chili bao buns on the menu, so I guess that's on me) and something acidic would have gone a long way to breaking up the sugary sweetness. Also, two of the four buns had only a tiny nugget of chicken, leaving me with crunchless soft sticky sweet buns. The microgreens scattered over it added some great flavor boost. I had a great time hanging out here and if you are walking around downtown or across the street in the park, I highly recommend popping in here for a bite and a brew.”

“Very nice food. Lovely staff, very welcoming. Have a prayer area downstairs even for when we were passing by the next day not as customers. Top notch mixed grill. Visited October 2023 with friends.”

“I got the Donna panini, and it was delicious! The prosciutto and mozzarella were really good on there, and everybody in the store was really nice.”

30 Fleet St, Boston, MA 02113, United States

“Wow this place is incredible!!! We went the day before New Year’s Eve and it was amazing! Best chicken parm I’ve ever had with vodka sauce ! Their pasta is homemade it’s delicious! My whole family enjoyed their meals and are looking forward to coming back!!! 10/10 Love”

“We made reservations well in advance here for Christmas Eve as it was among the handful of North End restaurants we had not yet tried. We arrived five minutes early only to learn our reservations had apparently been given away although there were two inviting-looking empty tables, each for two, in front where you walk in. We were never afforded an explanation. We were instead, traipsed on what seemed to be an endless journey, down not one, but two flights of stairs, descending into a very stuffy, mal-odoured basement where I was certain we were going be seated in a broom closet.. As it turns out, I was not that far off. We arrived at a table just outside a basement door where I could hear dishes being washed. It was a table shoved into a corner of what appeared to be a dark hallway used to store things. In fact, I think the broom closet would have been a step up...phrases like bottom-run patron, second-class citizen, and unimportant come to mind when thinking about this experience. Can't say anything about food, but what I can say is -- Casarecce has been crossed of our list of places to try.”

“Food and portions were good. The restaurant itself has a family feel vibe. The service was good. Staff and friendly and accommodating. Portions are well dealt out, so you will go home feeling full and well nourished. If you're looking for a good meal stop by Ánh Hông for a bite!”

“Very good sushi if you’re ordering delivery. The Maki combo (salmon avocado, tuna avocado, and California) is a great value. It even comes with miso soup. I liked the high fish to rice ratio as well as the avocado that was appropriately ripe.”

“Boston's best? More like world's worst hot chocolate. For one, there is barely any chocolate (it was light brown) and it was not even Luke warm. What I got was mildly flavored cold milk, not hot chocolate. Extremely disappointed.”

“Came in on a weekday for early dinner. We were a party of two and didn’t had any reservation prior, fortunately they were able to provide is seats after waiting for five minutes. We tried the original and the spicy hotpot soup. If you are really into spicy then you would probably enjoy the spicy. But for us it was way too spicy. They have ton of selection for sides and sauce. I really enjoyed the veggie spring roll. Fall is upon us, this place would be a perfect place to warm the chilly weather.”

339 Squire Rd, Revere, MA 02151, United States

“They have a good selection of sushi buffet. Their fried food/tempura are great too. I like their scallion pancakes. We went for weekday lunch $12.99 per pax. I love the shrimp and fish but because they used tilapia there’s a smell that I don’t really appreciate. Clams and shumai are also good. Food are not too salty so it’s great. Due to covid and hygiene purposes, you have to take new plate and cannot reuse your plate”

“This spot is a gem hidden inside of an understated food court full of Asian fusion spots. It really took me for a ride down memory lane, back to the days when I walked the dingy alleyways of Central South Korea. You get bang for your buck and the broth for the standard ramen is a nice blend of flavors. I would like to try a spicier bowl next time. In order to testify to the people, I also got the chicken appetizer with the house made sauce. This is something you can skip as it was a bit dry. Next time, I will get the takoyaki or just skip the appetizer altogether. I also had a misunderstanding with the server. I thought she was asking me if I was done with the appetizer, and when I said yes, she dumped everything into the bowl when I had the strongest desire to kill of the broth and whatever was hiding underneath that ocean of flavor but no harm no foul. If it's a cold or rainy day in the area and it's feeding time, I'm going to Ishindo.”

“I've been on a bakery rampage lately, and Third Cliff Bakery was next on my list. I always go at opening, and this was the first time a bakery had a line before doors even opened, which surprised me. Doors opened right at 8 AM, and the overall wait wasn't too bad (~10 minutes). There is timed street parking out front, and the inside has a few tables with high ceilings and a nice mural. I ordered a few items to share: - Kimchi & Cheddar Croissant: I was most excited about this because it was a unique flavor, but the inside didn't actually have that much kimchi. It wasn't bad, though--just didn't wow me as much as I wanted it to. - Buttermilk Family Croissant: This croissant was also just okay. Very flaky. - Pain au Chocolat: I liked this one. Can never go wrong with chocolate. - Orange Cardamon Morning Bun: This one was good, but the person I shared it with felt it was too cinnamon-y. - Pumpkin & Candied Ginger Cake with Maple Icing: I liked this. I would have preferred if the icing was less sweet, but the cake was very moist. Overall, I'm happy to have tried Third Cliff Bakery, but it wasn't the best of the bakeries that I've checked out recently (maybe I'll try a drink next time). I do think the prices are a little bit on the lower end relative to the pastry sizes, though, which is nice.”

“Billy Tse, a Chinese restaurant, made my Christmas meal quite enjoyable. I visited today, and I was impressed with how quickly the delicious food was served, even on a busy holiday. The place was bustling with activity, catering to pickup, delivery, and dine-in customers. Billy Tse offers a unique and delightful Chinese cuisine experience that sets it apart from other options. I highly recommend this place and would definitely return for another visit. It's a standout in the local dining scene, earning a solid 4 stars from me!”

“my partner and i had never had Nee Zealand style ice cream before, and now we’re big fans! If you prefer lighter desserts over other usual options, this is the place for you. the staff was very friendly and the ice cream was prepared much faster than we expected since it’s all made fresh to order. would definitely recommend!”
