*CREDIT CARD FEE!* My friend and I decided to check out Patricia's of Tremont by another friend's recommendation. It's your standard family Italian restaurant that you can count on. We went right when they opened at noon on a Sunday, and by the time we left 2 hours later, it was decently full!
We ordered garlic bread ($5), small margherita pizza ($11.75), lasagna ($19.95), chocolate cannoli ($4.95), and lemon sorbet ($8.95). The meal comes with warm, complimentary bread and oil. I told my friend that we should not have ordered garlic bread if we knew bread was free! Overall, we both agreed that the food was good and well-portioned, but nothing out of the ordinary. They gave us a free sampler of a thin-crust margherita pizza that was significantly better than the regular margherita! The sauce on the pizza had some zest (better than canned sauce), but still could improve on flavor. If you want to be entertained by huge lemons, definitely go for the sorbet!
The vibes are what probably make Patricia's a nice community hub. If in the middle of nowhere, music starts blasting, do not be alarmed, it is just a birthday celebration! My only complaint was that my water did not get refilled even though I finished it halfway through the meal. The entire staff was so friendly, and I second other reviewers that we did feel like family.
