"This situation makes me ponder a lot about my experiences at restaurants. Am I being treated poorly, or is it just my perception? Or perhaps I'm the one with biases against certain staff members. I wish I could understand myself better in this regard. To be truly fair to myself and the restaurant, I think I should visit at least ten times and note the differences with each visit. That way, I could determine who's really at fault. Could it be that the same worker had a series of bad days every time I went? Or was my demeanor off when I placed my order? Did I approach the restaurant with preconceived notions? Maybe there was a miscommunication and the staff member wasn't in the best mood, which affected my experience. All these questions swirl in my mind. Was the issue on my end or theirs? I often wish there were a device that could assess the situation and tell me where the fault lies. If it indicates that I need to improve my mindset, I could work on that. But if it points to the restaurant, they could make necessary adjustments. Imagine how invaluable such a machine would be!"

The restaurant has limited seating, but they kindly rearranged a table so I could be seated earlier than expected. Plus, there was a beautiful rainbow outside after the rain, which was a lovely bonus!

Good taste for a place with so many options. We both have the Tortellini. Free bread was nice. Of course not the same as a 5-star authentic Italian restaurant, but we still enjoyed it and would go back.

The bruschetta was amazing. The pasta.. God, seriously I can?t imagine how a human being can eat this thing. It was dry, burnt, tasteless and overcooked. I can really help you to learn how to make proper pasta, if you want. It doesn?t take much, that?s why I?m so surprised it was this bad. View menu

I've been a fan of this restaurant since it opened back in the 90s. One of my favorite dishes is the Penne Fedora, which comes with a delicious creamy marinara sauce that I believe is seasoned with rosemary. They occasionally have some fantastic mashed potatoes on the menu, so I like to order a side to take home with me.

Yummy Pasta deserves to lose a star for the bread that comes with the meal. It's bland and lacks texture, almost like a piece of bubble. I really think they should either improve it or skip offering bread altogether. My personal favorites here are the Cacio e Pepe with grilled chicken and the penne in their spicy tomato sauce.

I really like the food, I got the fettuccine Andrea. The service was quick and the atmosphere was quaint and calm. They appeared to make the food fresh and my meal was a type of sauce I had never had but that really suited my taste. It wasn 't until I got to the bottom of my plate that I found two pieces of hard melted plastic. Unfortunately I only noticed after acidentally wrapping them in a bite of fettuccine and taking a bite. So I did have to spit out my food into a napkin. After the first one I wasn 't sure what to think to so I took another bite and there was the second piece of plastic. At that point I thought better stop eating, who knows how many are in there . I really wish things...

The man at the counter was very helpful in detailing the specials and in making recommendations based on what I was interested in. I ended up ordering the gnudi with sage butter. The pasta came with a slice of bread, which rounded out the plate for a satisfying lunch. In contrast to other reviewers, I thought the portion was just right. The pasta itself was incredibly light and soft. The sage butter did a great job of complementing the spinach in the gnudi without overpowering or obscuring it. The cookie was perhaps softer than I was expecting, but the crumbly texture plus the chocolate, sprinkles, and jam made for a very satisfying post-pasta bite. With a large Pellegrino, my meal came to j...

"If you’re looking for some of the most flavorful, fresh, and delicious ramen, you have to check out Isshindo Ramen!If you’re a ramen fan like me, you know the KEY to a good ramen boils down to the broth and the noodles. Some places the broth is too salty or “greasy”. You don’t have that issue here.I’ve gone to many ramen spots in multiple cities and this place keeps me coming back. Every time I am in Boston I must order from here. Luckily for me, I’ll be spending part of my year in Boston- so I’ll get to enjoy it more often!The broth is super flavorful, savory, and creamy. It is made using a specially treated water and boiled pork bones. This is what gives you that amazing broth and flavor! It’s also loaded with vitamins and nutrients. It is a great option for those looking for an alternative to traditional soup!The noodles used in the ramen are a little different than other Ramen spots- and that is okay! The noodles are more straight than traditional ramen noodles you know. They cook them perfectly so they aren’t mush.The broth is packaged separate for delivery- as to keep everything fresh and hot. The noodles will continue to cook in the boiling hot broth. Some places don’t account for that and the noodles don’t hold up. This place knows the deal and factors that in. I like that.Lastly, the chashu pork is melt-in-your-mouth incredible. You get four large, soft, and delicious cuts of pork belly in your ramen. I like to break the big pieces up. They don’t skimp at all on the quality or quantity of the meat.The ramen is also generously served with Woodear mushrooms, scallion, bean sprouts, nori seaweed, and a soy egg.I have ordered delivery from here multiple times and it’s my favorite spot in town for ramen. It’s always delivered piping hot and packaged very well!The broth is packed separate, as to keep the noodles from overcooking in the hot broth. It also prevents a soggy ramen. The packaging is perfect. I’ve never had anything spill or leak. They also include chopsticks and a soup spoon. Order is always accurate.If you love ramen, you’ve got to give Isshindo a try! You won’t be disappointed.Pro Tip: I recommend a ramen for each adult. However, if you want a bit bigger portion you can add extra noodles for a small up charge- that’s what I usually do. But aside from that, portions are generous. I just like extra noodles.I look forward to eventually eating here in person. But for now- delivery has not disappointed me yet! My favorite spot for ramen!"

"I haven't been here in several years and this place has changed the menu since then. They used to serve crepes, but it seems like that is no longer on the menu. I miss the crepes they used to serve, but this place still seems like an excellent local coffee shop with sandwiches.Service: I was greeted promptly as soon as I walked in even though the worker was busy making a drink. They take your name when you order at the counter in the middle of the cafe, and they call out your name when your individual items are ready to pick up from the counter. They do not serve dine-in orders within 30 minutes of closing. There are tables on either end of the cafe, but not much, so don't expect a seat during peak times.Coffee: Served as is, the hot latte was foamy and velvety without any bitterness. Even though my order was to go, I was surprised to still see latte art when I took the lid off.Food: I ordered the Otom sandwich, which includes egg, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato spicy aioli, on your choice of bread. I chose to have on an everything bagel, which had a perfectly substantial amount of chewiness. The egg was overcooked and dry, but the rest of the ingredients, like the tomato and the aioli, covered up the dryness. The spicy aioli is mild but does add a nice small kick to the flavors. It is a fairly greasy and messy sandwich thanks to the bacon and aioli, so be sure to have a couple of napkins on hand. Overall, it was delicious."
