La Groceria Ristorante Italiano
853 Main St
(Central Sq)
tel.: 617/497-4214
Location: Central Sq
Cuisine: Italian
Price Category: Moderate

The Mastromauro family has dished up large portions of delicious Italian food at this colorful, welcoming restaurant since 1972. You'll see business meetings at lunch, family outings at dinner, and students and bargain-hunters at all times. Cheery voices bounce off the stucco walls and tile floors, but it seldom gets terribly noisy, probably because everyone's mouth is full. You might start with the house garlic bread, lavished with chopped tomato, red onion, fennel seed, and olive oil. The antipasto platter overflows with the chef's choice of meats, cheeses, and roasted vegetables. Main dishes include homemade pasta from the machine you see as you enter -- the daily specials are always good bets. Lasagna (a vegetarian version) is an excellent choice, as are lobster ravioli, roasted chicken, and savory chicken Marsala.

Main courses $7-$16 at lunch, $11-$19 at dinner. Children's menu $7.Open: Mon-Fri 11:30am-10pm (lunch until 4pm); Sat-Sun 2:30-10pm.Reservations accepted only for parties of 6 or more.Credit Cards: AE, DC, DISC, MC, V.T: Red Line to Central Sq.Free parking.
