I ordered take out tonight, but it's a cute and simple, very clean restaurant inside, in a strip mall location. My drunken noodles were good but not great. The tofu chunks were cut really big and there wasn't much vegetable present besides peppers. I ordered '2' spicy of 5 on the heat scale and the dish was way too hot for me. So, take note of the spice amount, and for me next time it's a '1'. The dish was an ample portion and nice flavor overall. Everyone inside was very friendly, too, who prepped and handed me my order.

Looking for a not too expensive Italian restaurant in Little Italy, Bencotto delivered nicely. We had a large table in the lower level which was perfect for 15 people. I shared a pizza and there was still some left to take home. The Fra Diavlo seafood plate was enjoyed by others as well as a few other creatively crafted pizzas. We had a lot of attention by the waiter, who was upbeat and efficient, especially considering the size of the party. I'd go back if I was in Boston with a group!

The Friendly Toast was so much fun. There with friends from out of the USA, the diner atmosphere was a hit, as well as the food. My veggie omelette was good but the broccoli was a little hard and the coffee never got refilled (coffee expensive at $4.50). The side of toast ordered by one person was one very small piece and it was not buttered, jam forgotten. The eggs benedict was popular, however and nicely presented. Waitress friendly and overall positive experience.

Very cozy and comfortable restaurant on a cold Sunday morning! The 3 cheese omelette was so large and the cheeses so flavorful - just YUM. We wanted to sub out the potatoes for the salad, though, but it was a $6 charge. We shared them, and it was a generous portion. Good coffee to go with the meal, and excellent service. It became much more crowded mid morning, so go early or possibly wait a bit.

I was there with a large group so we shared a lot of tapas and had some drinks. Some things were easier to share around the table than others, like the sliders. We had the fried chicken and the beef sliders, both of which were generously sized and tasty, though I liked the fried chicken better. It's a fun place and I'd possibly go back to try some different foods, but it was a bit pricey.

Tatte on Boyleston Street was very convenient for a quick bakery treat and coffee, since I was staying at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. My first visit with the croissant and an oatmeal cookie to go with my coffee did not disappoint, although the oatmeal cookie was a little dry. Excellent coffee! The croissant baked with sugar was a nice way to enhance a croissant even though they are hard to beat. The restaurant is busy but spacious with various seating and a really unique menu for break fast and lunch options. It was so good that I tried something new every time I went, including take out and eat in. Everyone in Boston seems to love Tatte, a latte, including me!

Looking for a simple Thai dinner with yummy food, and this was the place! We were very happy with the cozy interior, quick service, pleasant server (though her English wasn't the best), and prices. I had a fantastic Drunken Noodle dish with Chicken, and a level 2 spicy was a tiny bit too hot but still saucy and satisfying, also a nice sized portion. My friend had pad Thai with shrimp and said it was one of the tastiest ever. The restaurant is small and it was clearly popular with locals.

We ordered pumpkin chai to drink in restaurant, and the glasses used for them made the drink so much more special. We also got a ham and cheese croissant. Service was friendly and efficient and the inside of the Starbucks was neat and clean. I wish it was a little cozier, but it was a great place to relax with friends and catch up. I brought my own cup for a drink to take home and appreciate so much that we can do that as well and be sustainable.

I ordered some treats for a friend's birthday -- a pumpkin cream cheesecake and some cannolis. They were beautiful and a fair price for some really luscious desserts. There is a great selection at the bakery but it's also a nice eat in restaurant. It was quiet there on a weekday afternoon, great if that is what you're looking for.

The atmosphere at the winery and food options were great. There are a lot of cozy seating options and it's also very bright and cheerful. Service was excellent, and the vegetarian pizza was really good - nice we were allowed to mix and match toppings to get what we wanted. We had two flights of wine, and the wine was fine but the options available on the flights were not flexible. So we had to get some wines when we would have preferred tasting others (but they were for members only). That was a little messy and off putting for a winery. Overalll, though, a nice experience and I'd recommend for a day's outing!
