PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVEThe Biltmore Bar & Grille is a modern American restaurant in Newton, MA with a longstanding history. No corporate restaurant chain or Hollywood set designer could ever recreate The Biltmore Vibe. In 1914, the Biltmore opened and served up breakfast and brew at 7AM for the overnight crews from nearby factories. It came with a 4 lane basement bowling alley that was a local hangout for decades.There was talk of a speakeasy during prohibition. The Biltmore was across the street from a regional rail stop and often hosted private events for dignitaries, politicians and celebrities.Much of original brick front and interior has remained the same over the many reincarnations of this legendary bar. The original old growth wood flooring has stood up to many timeless celebrations as well. Celebrating this neighborhood legend while serving up fresh new takes on classic dishes and drinks is what The Biltmore is all about.

    We had a great first visit to Sogno. All the food we ordered was delicious (eggplant soup, wild boar gnocchi special, cacio e pepe pasta, creme brulee, and ricotta pie). My husband ordered a Sogno Sip (pineapple infused vodka), and I tried a mocktail with non alcoholic prosecco and rose syrup. We loved the atmosphere, and it was fun for a date night. Our server was very attentive and offered to take photos of us, which was nice and not expected. We will definitely be back!

    The Biltmore was just what the 8 of us were looking for in a casual Valentine's Day celebration. The food is really tasty pub fare and did not disappoint. The Fried Fluffernella dessert was unbelievably wonderful! Our waitress was super attentive, helpful and friendly and anticipated our every need. This place has the perfect neighborhood feel to it and we love going there.
