- BBevGreater Boston •23 reviews4.0Dined todayWent on a busy Fri night with a reservation. Seated right away and drink and apps came out quickly. Meal came within 5 minutes of ordering. Waitress forget to bring sliverware and it took 10 minutes to try to catch her without any luck before walking up to the reservation desk to get assistance. In fairness, she had a lot of tables to cover. Food was good (although a bit cold at this point) . Bill came quickly after we were finished. Take out order we placed was forgotten so we had to wait for it, but it also came with in five minutes. Take away from this experience - great place to go for good food if you want a quick meal. Very busy and noisy so definitely not a place to linger and chat.More infoThe MercantilePrice: Moderate• American• Worcester•4.5

- RRobertGreater Boston •60 reviews5.0Dined on 3 Jan 2025Each part of the meal came out perfect and on time. We got the Fra Diavlo mussels for an appetizer. It was a huge plate full of delicious and perfectly cooked mussels with plenty of sauce. We each ordered an entree. The food was excellent and very rich. There were plenty of leftovers so I would say the portions were large. The waiter was very attentive to all our needs. The atmosphere was quiet. There was a little difficulty finding parking as the lot next door has changed the way to park there.More infoNuovo RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Worcester•4.5

Discover Central MA
Massachusetts is loaded with great cities and wonderful food. From Boston baked beans to classic corn chowder, there are a range of tastes to enjoy. Fans of seafood will have to try the lobster, but did you know you can get killer barbecue in Central Massachusetts? Don't forget the Pilgrim tradition; the good folks of Sturbridge are happy to feed you a meal rich in heritage and teach you how to make real maple syrup. Of course, you'll need something sweet to finish your food journey, so Amherst invites you to their bakery crawl for fresh-baked pastries and fluffy doughnuts.
