Nappi's Restaurant

The most authentic and down to earth experience you will have in Boston. Cash only. No formal menu, all from the memory of the amazing waiters. Almost anything can be made within reason, amazing Italian combos of various proteins, sauces, and hand made pastas. A ton of options to choose from, so you are bound to find something you will enjoy. BYOW/B. Even with a large party taking up half the dining area, the staff were personable and attentive. Food came out quicker than expected and every. single. dish. was amazing. The owner of the restaurant was coming around checking on tables striking up conversations, and you could feel the passion for the food in the space. Since there was no formal menu, you might expect prices to be a shock or surprise but everything is fairly priced at around 10

Nappi’s in Medford is a great little local Italian spot with a lot of character. There’s no written menu—they tell you what’s available verbally—which gives it a very old-school, neighborhood feel. It’s also BYOB, which is a huge plus—bring whatever you like. The food was excellent across the board, clearly made with care and quality ingredients. Everything felt authentic and well done. We loved it there and would absolutely go back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy, no-frills Italian restaurant with great food.

Nice place and unique way of no printed menu. They tell you what they have for sauces, meats and pasta..... You pick one of each. I had the chicken Parm which was ok but not amazing. My gf has shrimp carbonara which she feels did an excellent job. So our experience was mixed depending upon the dish. I'd recommend you try it. It is cash only and BYOB.

Great little hidden gem. Cool experience because you can bring your own booze, and there is no formal menu to look at. The server lists everything they are serving. We had eggplant rollotini that was amazing and filled with cheese. Mussels were awesome. Chicken picatta was a Lil lemony but great. Fun place.

Cash-only, no menu, all available food read out loud to you by the waitress. A real local spot for quality Italian food, we came on a Friday night and it was pretty packed and rowdy so try to make a reservation. The bread was delicious as well as the chicken parm with spaghetti. If you’re ever in the area and in the mood for home cooked Italian food, I would suggest Nappi’s.
