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.

    I went solo and it was amazing. If you go with someone else or go in a group, use it as an opportunity to try every dish they have to offer because everything on the menu is packed with flavor and just well-executed. Drink whatever wine Jesse tells you to drink. I know I'm biased because I've been eating Chef Dooley's food for 10+ years going back to his time running the kitchen at Craigie on Main. He has never lost a step, and there's a reason all of his ventures have been so successful. You won't be disappointed and you'll keep coming back.

    Best Lobster Ravioli’s! All of our food was amazing & waiter was awesome. The Lobster Ravioli is actual giant chunks of lobster in the best sauce (NOT the sweet sherry kind I usually don’t care for). Also loved instead of a usual limited kids menu of buttered noodles, they let them pick what they wanted on the adult menu in a smaller portion. We’ll be back! Only critique is to ask for a spoon to get it all.
