Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Waltham

Fantastic food, fantanstic drinks. There are not that many fine food restaurants in Newton, Sycamore is the rare example of the one holding the high quality mark. Enjoyed it a lot.

Lovely dining experience. I will be back 4 sho. Poloma was like the first day of spring. Except there was a snow storm outside! Carbonara was to DIE for. Pizza was perfection. 10/10

I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

Wife and I had a reservation and were seated right away, our sever was attentive and personable , drinks on point (espresso martini and a manhattan)! The apps ( clams casino and calamari) according to our server seemed to have taken a little longer than normal but we didn’t think so, they came out hot, crispy and delicious ! We changed up our drinks to a (sangria and an old fashion) these were just as good as the first 2! Our entrees were chicken milanese, hot, crispy and al dente pasta was absolutely delicious! The braciole was flavorful but tough, to me could have been braised longer. Now desert! We opted for the tiramisu…wow light, fluffy and sweet! Absolutely perfect! The slice could feed 4 people easily… overall Stazione di federal is a fantastic experience, great food and service…. We will be returning

What cool place with a unique menu and fun way to put together a meal. I took my friend for lunch her birthday after the ICA and the vibe was perfect for a ladies fun lunch (lots of lady friend lunches happening and also a few clearly businessy lunches) , the staff was super friendly and nice, and the food was delicious and felt very clean and unprocessed. And then at the end, our server brought my friend a glass of bubbly with a candle stuck to the base and it was just perfect. Fun!
