Pammy’s

Pammy's is a New American Trattoria cozily nestled between Cambridge’s Central and Harvard Squares.

We embrace the ethos of Italian food culture by serving devoutly seasonal and unfussy food, with a focus on a few star ingredients. Our ingredients and menu inspirations are often rooted in traditional Italian cuisine, however, at Pammy's we allow ourselves the freedom to explore an unlimited set of flavors, one that now defines American cuisine. “Trattoria” embodies who we are at our core as the

This month we are raising money and awareness of an issue very near and dear to our hearts. Two years ago today we lost our young friend Biko. He drowned at a Memorial Day bbq. As we approach summer we would like to remind our community of the importance of water safety. Drowning does not discriminate, it happens in seconds and is completely silent.

Please consider purchasing a Pammys gift card today. 100% of the sales of your purchases will be donated to SWIM SAFE BOSTON. Swim Safe Boston is a program run by our city that provides FREE swim lessons in and around Boston.

There are two ways to buy a gift card today- 1. You can go to our website at Pammyscambridge.com. Or 2. You can swing by Pammy’s after 4pm and buy one in person (the rain will have stopped by then).

We miss and love you forever our sweet fearless Biko💙

We will be closed tonight- Monday May 27th. See you Tuesday May 28th. Bar opens at 5. 🎈🎈

🎈🎈Happy Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend. 🎈🎈🎈

Looking through photos just now I’m in awe of just how much you love your work. I’m not just talking about cooking. I’m talking about all of it. The joy in your voice when you answer a 7am call from Eva about what new veggie she’s growing for you (when you’ve only gone to bed 3 hours prior), the newest wine pour you sample late night after everyone has gone, the 17th visit from John to repair the walk-in 🙄, the excitement of a new pasta dial, the local farmer who is growing something better than in California, your daughters fighting over your chocolate tart when they come in for dinner and talking about it for weeks (because it is that good!) the former line cook that comes in to dine with their mom. The thousand of hours tweaking a new dish with Joe and Jimmy because you know it’s about to reach the lights out delicious phase. The 75 emails back and forth with the bus charter for our annual staff beach party, I’m pretty sure I even saw a sparkle in your eye yesterday when Katie texted us that the hvac s**t the bed. 🫠

You live your life honoring everything around you. The good and the bad. Thank you for taking such pride in your work. You’ve created a world in which so many people are so proud of their work too. Everyday you show up with your insane talent, your compassion, your generosity, your listening ears, your competitive spirit, your curiosity, your patience, and your eye for detail. There is no Pammys without Chris. Maybe our next restaurant should be called Chrissy’s?!?! Just kidding- we all know you’d hate that. 😘

Happy birthday babe❤️❤️❤️

We couldn’t be more thrilled to share that with your help we raised $2400 for the this past holiday season! Wow, thats a lot of jarred Bolognese! Thank you to everyone who bought a jar (or 6!) 😇

The One by One project helps Greater Boston non-profits fill urgent needs that otherwise fall through the cracks. They help local families to avoid evictions, keep food on the table and help to keep the lights and heat on.

Every dollar that is donated to them goes directly to local families in need. Please click the link in our bio if you weren’t able to buy any sauce but would like to support them:)

Pammy’s Bolognese To Go is BACK! 🍝

That’s right, we’re jarring our smoky, spicy, Gochujang-flecked pasta sauce for all your holiday needs. Like a lot of food at Pammy’s, our bolognese builds in tradition in ways that are surprising and delicious. We’ve respected the Old World approach to this legendary sauce by procuring four types of meats from the best possible sources, then slowly cooking them with garlic, herbs, red wine, Italian tomatoes, and cream so they become golden brown and meltingly tender. We finish it with Gochujang to give it a spicy kick of umami that’ll entice you to eat it in ways Nonna might not approve of. $21

🍅Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays throughout December
🍅4:30-6:30 pick up
🍅First come, first served, while supples last!
