Bertucci's Italian Restaurant

This joint in particular is an MIT favorite. I was first introduced to Bertucci's when every-other-event at MIT ordered huge pizzas and they came with sacks of the most incredible bread rolls ever. The food is great. I recommend getting their Caesar salad: it's crispy and has huge shavings of parmesan cheese. Their pizza is amazing, with a nice crispy crust and yet with a foldable elasticity, like NY style pizzas. Sometimes the service is a bit lacking, like not getting drink refills or another serving of salad when we order the "bottomless salad", but these can be excused by the delicious brick-oven cooked food.

Wish I hadn't chosen Bertucci's that night. The fettuccine alfredo was not good. The only reason I gave it two stars was because the garlic knots were good, but even those weren't that great. They were more like bread balls with rosemary and not much garlic. It's fine, I guess, if this is your only option, but for the price point, I'd try another restaurant.

Yikes. Waitress was nice but very confused and forgetful, making the experience a bit uncomfortable. Had to keep asking for drinks and appetizers three times, because she forgot. She said no cocktails are served here, even though they’re advertised, because they just don’t stock up.. at least their rolls are good as always and the chef was careful with food allergies.
