• American • Cambridge

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 apply a 6% Kitchen Admin Fee to all checks that exclusively benefits our Back of House staff, who by MA law may not be included in the tip pool.

    Everything was incredible. The food was excellent. So creative and tasty. Pulpo carpaccio and crab churro were outstanding. The drinks were perfect ( sherry flip and Fresa bonita). And the service was just phenomenal. Our server Matthew and bartender Tommy were so fun, knowledgeable and attentive. That kind of hospitality cannot be taught. They went above and beyond with the personal details. We will be back!!! Shout out Liam

    i certainly would return and I cannot say that about a lot of the places I’ve tried in Boston. I had the mozzarella di bufala, the Lumache and a steak/figs dish along with a wine pairing. All of it was absolutely delicious and the wine pairing was a great compliment. Our server was very attentive during our attendance. Definitely a must try
