Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Taunton

My wife and I have been going to Abe & Louie’s on or near Valentine’s Day for many years. It is one of the last old school steak restaurants in Boston. Great service as always and our waiter, Chris was outstanding. We shared a beet and goat cheese salad - perfect. I had the 16 oz NY strip steak. OMG - it was fabulous. Home fries on the side are always a must. My wife had chicken with some crisp, chunks of potatoes. I admit to stealing a few pieces from her plate. Delicious key lime pie for desert. If you want a really good steak and nice service - go to Abe & Louie’s!

The Venetian is our favorite spot to go to. It’s very warm and welcoming and the food continues to be creative and very good. We especially like the pasta dishes as they are homemade with organic flour and the pork chop and steaks never a disappointment.

Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

First visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.

I was looking forward to meeting up with close friends for lunch because the atmosphere is always lovely … and the food is delicious 😋 Well, I generally order the delicious breakfast burger with the seasoned fries and have never been disappointed! However, I decided to change things up and order the veggie wrap! WOW! It was scrumptious! Can’t wait to go back again and enjoy another one! My meal was not as photogenic as some of my lunch guests, so I have included photos of their meals! Needless to say, I highly recommend LaFamilia!
