Café popolari a Chestnut Hill

Excellent server, Amanda! And the food absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much.

The noise was insanely loud. There was a party of probably 20+ women who were so loud and we were packed in and could barely move. The tea was delicious but we were never offered more hot water or able to order another tea. The food was great, nice variety and perfect bite sized fare. Unfortunately ours was served on a broken tiered plate that looked like it was ready to fall over. I think they should have a limit of people they can serve- perhaps only able to serve a table of 8 max? Or remove a few tables when they have such a large party at the least. It was just too loud and felt crammed in. Will try again with hopes that we can hear each other speak! Certainly not a calming “tea” experience.

Big fan of the Vintage Tea and Cake Company. Their new location in Arlington was lovely and the holiday team menu was lovely. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Enjoyed my first time at Steel and Rye! Menu is a bit limited but the burger was delicious. Great martini and even better after dinner affogato. The place was warm, well lit and decorated tastefully for Christmas! Will be back 😃

one of my all-time favorite spots in the dorchester area!
