Pammy’s is a New American restaurant inspired by the feel of an Italian neighborhood trattoria. Perched between Cambridge’s Central and Harvard Squares, Pammy’s is a cozy yet sophisticated neighborhood destination. For husband and wife team Chris and Pam Willis (who live right up the street), Pammy’s is an extension of their living room. They’ve brought together their love of great food, easy hospitality and chic vibes to create a lively space that is welcoming to all looking for a memorable meal. With dishes that lean heavily on Italian flavors but are not restricted by any rules of the cuisine, the food is unpretentious and delicious. A fireplace wrapped in white ceramic, an oversized salvaged communal table designed for side-by-side dining and rich leather banquets are just some of the design elements that make up Pammy’s charm.We're currently serving a Prix Fixe menu for all reservations. A la carte dining is available for walk-in guests at our bar and in our lounge.

    We had a great experience with dinner for five. There wasn't a single dish that the group didn’t enjoy. Service was attentive and spot on with good recommendations. Can’t wait to come back with my wife.

    We have high standards when it comes to rating restaurants. In this economy we want an experience that makes us feel like our discretionary spending was a good choice and appreciated by the restaurant. With so many dining options in Boston and Cambridge there is no reason to patronize substandard establishments. Oak Bistro was a great choice! The food was spectacular from apps to desert. The mains were exceptional and the service was excellent. The portions were more than adequate and the presentation showed the skills of a highly trained chef. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with comfortable seating, the space not overcrowded and a low noise environment. Absolutely a 5 star experience at 4 star prices. Do not hesitate to dine here.

    Everything was great, sauce from surf and turf was really good, good oyster selection all plates were very balanced, and the plus from the service was having Chef Aguinaldo to chat and explain all plates with detail. 10/10.
