We came here with our daughter and another couple on a Saturday night. We had the most kid friendly server we've ever had. The 3 kids had a blast and the pizza was delicious. The guy making the dough was putting on a great show too. I'd give this place 10 stars for the night we had.
My wife and I chose this as our venue for our wedding reception and we both have absolutely zero regrets! Everyone involved from the event manager, to the bartenders, to the event staff were extremely communicative, accommodating, and overall lovely to work with. We chose an assortment of small bites for the cocktail hour and had salad and a variety of flatbread pizzas for our mains. We brought in cakes from a local bakery as the main dessert but Sacco's also provided apple cider donuts for that nice fall in New England touch. Prior to the night my wife and I decided on the open bar tab and they were very communicative on when we approached that limit and what steps we wanted to take afterwards. The space was very comfortable for our ~85 guests and once the tables were cleared for dancing, even more so (people were distributed between dance floor, bowling lanes, and the bar that goes deep into the venue). I highly encourage everyone to consider Sacco's for big events. Again their staff is amazing and the food and the vibes are unparalleled. It was truly one of the best nights of our lives and we will be back for many many more nights of bowling and pizza! However if you're just looking for a night of fun and bowling, I'd definitely recommend booking a reservation at least two weeks in advance especially if you want to come on Fridays or a weekend. The cocktails are amazing, reasonably priced, and the bartenders have great banter. There's always a seasonal cocktail selection that is amazing (there's a lot of cider and maple related drinks at this time). I was raised in NYC (team Brooklyn water pizza) and can safely say that this place has very good flatbread pizza. Perhaps considered a secret menu item since it's no longer on the menu, I think the best pizza is called the Community pizza (red sauce, cheese, caramelized onions, and mushrooms) thank me later. This place is an amazing little gem in Davis Square (easily accessible from the Red Line, less than 5min walk away from the Davis T stop) and I believe every Tuesday they do a community bake for a local nonprofit (some proceeds from that nights pizza sales go to the nonprofit). Go there and have great pizza, imbibe, brush off those gutterballs, take in the vibes and have an amazing time.
A little small for big groups who want to bowl, food is really yummy and well made, not too expensive, about $30 a person food included, low tech (paper score keeping) and very family friendly (side rails if needed, bowling helper for little ones). Not too overstimulating at all.
There are Good pizza and kind staff 💖 I’d like to come eat here again! I thought it was a fun place since you can also go bowling.
Recently I went here for the first time and loved this place! The candle pin bowling is really fun - quite different from regular bowling, but still challenging. The flatbread pizzas are superb - bursting with flavor and masterfully prepared in a brick oven. Beautiful floral and hippie like decor which fits the fun and cool atmosphere. Great for kids and adults looking to have a good time.
