2.0 of 5 stars. Checking out the hype created by Throw Down is not enough reason to go out of your way to get here. The lasagna is good, not great. The red pepper sauce is very good. Bove's is best at providing...

The Best!! by Lydia W. at InsiderPages

Without a doubt Boves has the best pasta in New England! The aroma as one passes by the front window draws one inside . On a cold winter day especially, there is no better activity than warming up with a Boves...

4.0 of 5 stars. Boves. I have a tear in my eye. I miss looking at the 67 layers of paint on your walls. The small glass of water. The chance to watch Senator Bernie Sanders eat a giant steak and pile of spaghetti....

3.0 of 5 stars. Bove's is ok. It's cheap, good italian food. They sell their sauces and they're great. They cater - and I've definitely called upon them on multiple occasions to do so. The atmosphere of the...

3.0 of 5 stars. Local institution serves fairly decent homestyle Italian pastas in giant portions. It's kind of a diner of spaghetti. And if you needed any indication that Bove's has been and will always be around,...

2.0 of 5 stars. Five stars for the local hangout, local flavor and a family business that has survived the decades. When I go here, I find the food not so fantastic. It's basically pasta in red tomato gravy. I can do...

3.0 of 5 stars. Bove's is cheap and the food isn't bad. Definitely get the cake if they have it. For some reason, it always feels/seems dirty to me. Maybe it's the duct tape on the seat or the sticky tables.
