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.

    Had a wonderful meal at Harvest tonight. Started off with the beet appetizer and the 3 cheese plate, cheddar was a little dry but otherwise tasty. We had the gnocchi (my wife claimed it was the best pasta she has ever had) and I had the tagliatelle. Both were superb. We split the pumpkin tart. The food was excellent, perfectly served and very tasty. What made the night was our server, Maria. Absolutely the best service we have had in any restaurant: attentive, personable, interested.......ne plus ultra........thank you for making this meal and night out a memorable experience.

    Yummy cocktails to start. Fabulous dinner: chicory, foie gras walnut salad + octopus + lumache for me. Dining companions had the lasagna, bay scallops, and cobia. All were delicious. Katie recommended a delightful champagne to enhance the first courses. Pammy’s continues to be a gem.

    Super value for the money. Plenty of food, you won't leave hungry, a well rounded tea list, helpful and friendly staff. Wonderful holiday themed sweets. (Wish scones were full sized, however). All in all, can't wait to go back!
