Restaurants near Benjamin Thompson House-Count Rumford Birthplace

This was my first time going to Sam's Kitchen. I have heard good things about Sam's so I wanted to try it and I am glad I did. The restaurant is a small, quaint, elegant place with friendly waitstaff. From the beginning, the menu options sounded delicious. Along with the regular menu, they had a special: app, main course, dessert, and a glass of wine for $35! I decided on that to get a taste of a few things and it was fabulous. I had the seafood stew to start. It was delicious, I would have eaten a couple of bowls of that and would have been happy. The seafood was plentiful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Next I had the Chicken Piccata with linguine. The pasta is homemade so right there it is already delicious. The seasoning was even so you could taste all of the fresh ingredients. Next was a chocolate chip cannoli. What more can I say? This will now be my new favorite Italian restaurant and it will be yours too.

Pizza was fantastic, we split a sausage and pepperoni and the firecracker chicken, both were excellent! Very busy place so requires a little patience on getting the pizza but well worth the wait!

Always a great meal with attentive service including management check-in. Steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. Table was waiting for us as we checked in. We've never had a bad meal here. However, noise level was high.

My friend and I had a delicious dining experience. We shared the roasted golden beet salad, which is always phenomenal. Her entree was the shrimp and grits, and after living in VA and visiting southern US cities, she said the Burlington, MA Seasons 52 made some of the best. I ordered the gnocchi, which I have considered ordering over the many times I’ve dined here and finally did. It was delectable. I scraped the bowl clean. The burst of fresh tomatoes and basil combined with the pillowy and slightly cheesy gnocchi were perfect. We finished our meal with very good cappuccino and just right mini desserts. Thanks to our great server, who was very efficient and personable.

This was our first time at Sogno and we're already looking forward to returning. It was a quiet start to the day so we sat at the bar and Izza could not have provided any better service. We were not rushed and when things changed she let us know. Being new we decided to take our time and try a bit of a few things starting with a white wine. They have a nice selection and priced well. We shared the Arancini for a starter. Having Cacio e Pepe inside was a nice choice, but the lovely crusty outside really set this starter apart (from the same dish at other places). We next chose a red wine to go with our dinners. We had a general selection and were going to ask for assistance as they have an excellent selection of Borolo's but while we waited for Kelly to assist notice something different (that's one of the good (and bad) things of Italian wines, there are so many grapes); Mastroberardine. Kelly explained that was the area the owners are from, and that sold us. It was a lovely wine to go with my Bolognese and Julie's Genovese Tagliatelle. The Bolo was a little different with a bit less meat and a bit more tomato than I think of true Italian Bolognese, but it was delicious (and I will have it again). Julies Genovese was exquisite, definitely a must try. Winding down we decided to spilt a dessert, the ricotta pie was excellent. We try new places mainly based on the food and wine but here as most of our favorite places, the people truly shined Izza and Kelly made our meal special and ensured we'll be back. Thank you both.
