Old school Italian restaurant. Just a fun throwback. Had some great pizza. I had driven by this place 1 million times but never thought of stopping. Service is good and friendly and the atmosphere is nice.
Pizza, Salad and Service were excellent. Restaurant was very clean. Family friendly restaurant. Extensive menu. Will be back.
The fact that this place is sitting at 2 and a half stars is ridiculous. Remember Uno's and that spinoccoli pizza of theirs? Do you miss it? These guys have it, with a fancy Italian name and with big pieces of fresh broccoli and perfect baby spinach. It's awesome. What about Bertucci's? Remember when they had that awesome Melanzane pizza? These guys have it. Ricotta, garlic, and home-cooked eggplant with fresh basil... Perfection. The crust on these pizzas? Crispy, chewy, magnificent. Remember Vinny Testa's? Remember their Eggplant Parm? These guys have it! Nice, so nice, eggplant and cheese over a pile of pasta. There could be more pasta there, but it's the 21st century and everyone is cutting carbs. But so tasty. The lemon torta cake, like a ricotta pie straight from Maria's in the North End and a pound cake had an amazing baby. The cannoli is very nice, but it would be nice if they had a few options. The cream wasn't quite ricotta or yellow, but like an almond y cream. Very good. They have regular specials, and those are always inventive and nice! Just about everything is so good there. In fact, the only thing I ever got there that I didn't like is the tiramisu. Oof. It's a slice of some sort of tiramisu inspired cake, but it isn't tiramisu. Someone at Regina Pizzeria needs to visit Eataly and try one of their tiramisu and then take a good hard look at their own. But, the staff is also very friendly and accommodating. They are also very attentive with refilling drinks. The ambiance is nice as well. It's very Italian family restaurant looking and feeling. Lots of families talking and creating a general white noise to accompany the old pop music that plays gently in the background. I wouldn't think to write this review, because I think of the Woburn Polcari's like an institution. But one of the weeknights I was there not too long ago was pretty dead in terms of customers, and that made me a little nervous for its future. And then my wife mentioned it had only 2 1/2 stars on Yelp! Holy smokes did people do this place wrong. I don't visit as often as I could, because we live in a lazy world and pizza out in that world is plentiful and generally ... Okay. But, this pizza is always the pizza I hold my middling piece of pizza from nowheresville pizza up to measure, and if the Woburn Polcari's ever closed down, I would legit be moved to tears. Long live Polcari's!!!
