Top 5 Specialty Food in Massachusetts

289 Hanover St, Boston, MA 02113, United States

“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.”

“We love Dave’s! Not only do they have an incredible variety of pasta but their sandwiches are delicious! Also they have an amazing wine selection. Our favorite sauce is their eggplant. We usually get more than needed and just freeze the rest. Definitely recommend stopping at Dave’s!”

“We visited Goodfellas on our way back to Boston from Gloucester after a day of whale watching. The high reviews and food photos helped our decision to give this restaurant a try for dinner. This place definitely deserves the 4.9 rating that it has! The service was absolutely impeccable! We were greeted the second we stepped foot in the door which provided a very welcoming vibe. The staff was very polite, friendly and helpful. They explained a little about the restaurant, menu and provided recommendations. We started off by sampling a slice of their cheese and Buffalo chicken pizzas. Both were great, but this was THE BEST cheese pizza my husband and son had ever tasted! The crust was super thin, yet crispy. The crust had a great taste even on its own. We ordered the BBQ Chicken Ranch salad, cheese lasagna, Chicken Broculetini with mushroom tortellini and a couple of slices of cheese pizza. All our food was amazing! This was the best meal we have our entire vacation. This crew works hard to prepare everything fresh and they take a lot of pride in their food and it shows! All our food arrived steaming hot and the flavors were incredible! The chicken broculetini was something you would find in a fine dining italian restaurant, it was that good! We will definitely go out of our way to stop here next time we visit the Boston area! Run, don’t walk to try this hidden gem! Great job guys!”

“Nothing more needs to be said, just look at all the amazing reviews of this place. Yusuf is the man, always hospitable, making amazing food behind the counter with a smile. Couldn't recommend this place enough, get yourself a turbo pocket for the best experience.”

28 W Central St, Franklin, MA 02038, United States

“This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I had an Al Pastor burrito and a carnitas nacho. The large amount of food was very filling and even better was extremely tasty. And it wasn't just filters, there was plenty of meat. Great flavor throughout and many friendly, helpful people behind the counter. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 8.3.”

”Shout out to Little Havana. Great cuban food!! Their Cuban bowls were large and well worth the price. Classic Cuban sandwich was real good, but small for the price. Will return. Let's keep this Cuban place alive!!”

34 Cottage St, Easthampton, MA 01027, United States

”Very delicious chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream. We also tried the maple walnut which was very rich and creamy. I love that their ice cream is homemade and that they use chocolate base instead of vanilla for the peanut butter cups. Yummy!”

33 Market St, Northampton, MA 01060, United States

”Very good! I ordered take out. It was bustling in there! Not very clear on where to go to get sat or pick up. I ordered chicken picata, Joe's special pizza, antipasta salad, & cheese garlic bread. It was all delicious. The pizza is fantastically thin. Picata is lemony & well flavored. No complaints here. Solid meal.”

”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 …”

”What a fun experience. Great selection of vegetables, pastries and the sandwich bar was outstanding. We tried the Chicken quesadilla, the church wrap, the turkey sandwich and the pastrami sandwich. There were no complaints. All the sandwiches were perfect. The carrot cake was probably the best I have ever tried. Chock full of walnuts and carrots. The lady working the sandwich bar was such a nice person. I highly recommend this place”

16 Tyler St, Boston, MA 02111, United States

”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. 💚🫶🏻”

259 Park Ave, Worcester, MA 01609, United States

”We both got the braised short rib (the Benedict and the sandwich) and they were delicious. The fries were not seasoned besides salt, but using the drippings from the sandwich (instead of ketchup) was awesome. I also got an extra spicy Bloody Mary with the salt&red pepper flake rim. SO GOOD! Service was absolutely perfect and so kind. This is definitely a place we’ll be going back to.”

”Great fish market! Good and quick customer service. Everything is fresh. Plenty of free parking.”

109 E Hill Rd, Monson, MA 01057, United States

”Nice view, great location. Good enough food options. Went in on a rainy weekend so they were out of cider doughnuts and most stuff. But got a Boston cream pie ice cream, was pretty average.”

131 Brighton Ave, Allston, MA 02134, United States

”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 …”

”Very tasty, very friendly, and as far as I can tell super authentic. Also EXTREMELY accommodating in terms of both vegan food for me but also vegan/gluten free/soy free food for my dear who has really bad gluten and soy allergies. Also really great to eat somewhere and not be one of the few non-white people there. It felt like a really great safe place. When I was there, there was a cute queer couple in the corner holding hands, a youngish group with a small child in a high chair, and various groups of friends speaking in English and other languages. Everyone seemed super relaxed. Sadly not everywhere in Boston feels as accommodating and inclusive as this place. This is now one of my top picks in the Boston area.”

”First time here, it scored a solid 5 with great server, best ever veal chop marsala (incredibly sauce), and huge plate of crispy calamari without those annoying peppers. Second time, one of best ever lasagnas with bechamel but rest disappointing. Crab cakes worst. Mostly breading with no crab taste covered by non descript sauce. Probably out of frozen bag. Shrimp scampi had little if any garlic and was in another of those sauces. Veal Roberto was other main dish. Over breaded and too strong on Madeira. Server slow too. So the 4 is only from averaging with the first great dinner.”
