I celebrated Memorial Day with a typical trip to the beach. My dinner, however, was not the typical barbecue, but pizza at Bertucci’sin Westboro MA. At first glance, Bertucci’s seems like your average Italian restaurant, but the unique food and atmosphere sets it apart.
The restaurant is dimly lit with dark colored walls, curtains, and furniture. The only decorations are black and white photographs of turn-of-the-century Italian immigrants. The dining area and restrooms were both clean. It was around 5 o’clock, peak dinner time, but my friend and I were still seated quickly. The server was prompt and polite: she came with the food and drinks quickly and she didn’t getting butter for the rolls.
The rolls served before the meal were delicious; Bertucci’s rolls are my favorite food. For my meal, I ordered diet coke and a pizza with mushrooms and meatballs. The pizza had too many toppings and not enough cheese, and I didn’t like the mushrooms and meatballs together. Overall, though, it was a good meal. Next time I’ll probably get a pizza with just mushrooms.
Bertucci’s puts an excellent spin on classic cuisine. I always enjoy eating there, and this time was no exception.
Bertucci’s: *****
