The Daily Catch Brookline

May 23, 2018 by Rich 23 Comments

I came here for the Lobster Fra Diavolo. It seems like everyone comes here for that dish. I verified when I glanced over the other tables and saw the same thing. The question is, how hungry are you and how much do you love seafood?

Food: See pic (65%)

What else to know: 

You will never hear the words “I wish there was more food”. The portions here are plenty to go around. My GF and I ordered the Small Fried Calamari for apps and the Lobster Fra Diavolo (for one) for our main entree. By the end of our meal, I was struggling to get up and my belt may have stretched a few centimeters. I also loved they kept the door open as it was a lovely sunny day. Our waitress was so nice and I enjoyed her a lot. Keep in mind that because the place is so small, there can be quite a wait time. For instance, I arrived on a Monday at around 6:30 pm and waited about 20 minutes so not too bad but if I had came in 15 minutes later I could have easily been the couple staring at me waiting to take my table instead.

Carlo’s Cucina Italiana – Allston

April 23, 2018 by Rich 7 Comments

Lately, it seems like Allston is being taken over by the Asians. Sandwiched between a row of Asian restaurants is this gem of a place. The only establishment left, literally, to get a romantic Italian dinner in Allston.  

Food: See pic (65%) 
Taste to price 5/5
Quality to price 4/5
Portion to price 5/5
Average = 4.67

Service (20%)  
Friendliness 5/5
Promptness 4.5/5
Average = 4.75

Cleanliness (15%) 
Bathroom 3/5
Dining area 3.5/5
Kitchen area 3.5/5
Average = 3.33

Overall Score = [F(.65)]+[S(.20)]+C(.15)]
   = [3.04]+[0.95]+[0.5] 
   = 4.49

What else to know: I’m going to have to give Carlo’s the accolade for ‘Best Italian Restaurant’ in Allston. It’s not saying much since there really isn’t many but this place can compete against the best of North End. The food was made to order; my GF and I ordered the Vitello Carlo and the Linguine Frutti di Mare. Both, I would highly recommend. Portion size is huge given the decent prices. The waiter was extremely attentive and food came out at the right time. Overall, I enjoyed this place a lot. If you want a change of scenery in Allston, check this place out. You will not regret it.
