Readers Choice Award - #1 Italian Restaurant in Framingham


Business Summary  what's this?
For two star Italian, try Tomasso Trattoria Enoteca in Southboro. The menu is a la carte. Diners found the food terrible and mostly great.

True to Italian tradition are our house made bread, pasta, sauces and desserts. Tomasso is a wine lover's paradise with dozens of wines by the quartino, and wine dinners hosted by leading Italian wine makers. Panzano has free walk in wine tastings every Friday 5 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays 4 to 7 p.m. Visit our websites at tomassotrattoria.com and panzanomarket.com to view our calendar of events.
