Sweet Tomatoes is the perfect name because the tomato sauce on their pizza truly is really sweet. They also have the perfect balance between sauce and cheese so the pizza is not overly cheesey. Big slices are a plus. The toppings are really fresh. And, the thin crust is perfect. All around this might be the best pizza in boston area.
Pros: Great Sauce
Cons: Stops serving slices after 4pm

Had one of the best, tastiest, and most memorable meals here. It was a couple of years ago, so I can't offer too many details...but the fact I can remember it says something. We had the lamb shank and it was "off the hook" to quote our funny waitress. The service was great, the place was cozy, and like I said, the food is excellent (the kind of meal you remember years down the line!). I hope things haven't changed (although we went some time ago, it is possible things aren't as they were for our experience).
Pros: excellent food and service
Cons: can be crowded

I always have a great meal at cafe nicholas. I usually go to the one in newton centre, but occasionally go to the one in washington square in brookline too.First of all the pizza is great, they make a terrific homemade sauce, and I highly recommend the marghertia pizza ( or chicken margherita), it is my favorite.I also like their pasta dishes, their main chef, Junior, makes a great chicken balsamico, and chicken marsala.And you cannot beat the prices, great value for friends and family for casual dining.The breads and rolls are always fresh and delicious.Great salads too.The previous review, I can understand the wait-staff/counter issue. It is kind of a hybrid, counter service/table service restaurant, mostly counter service, but they definitely wait on tables in the back as best possible. Sometimes when they are busy it is hard for them to wait tables in the back efficiently. But this should not turn you off, it you have reasonable expectations. They also have a terrific room in back with fireplace and 50 TV.It is great for lunch during work, late nite dinner (they are open till 10) and I always see families having birthday parties in the back on the weekends.Lastly, it is a local family owned business, Nick the owner is a class act, who is a caring member of the business community and the local schools and charities. I have known Nick for 7 years, and frequent his cafe at least once per week, and give him 5 stars.

Cute place. Apple, and Key Lime pies are very good. Cookies are good too. Their savory foods are terrible. Egg Pie, and meat pies were awful. Serivce is very bad. Bad system for customer service, very disorganized. Bunch of 15 year old kids with no people skills running into one another behind the counter. Manager was like 18 years old and totally brain dead. Was the only person in line and watched as it took one girl almost five minutes to put one piece of pie on a plate, and pour us a cup of coffee. She couldn't get out of her own way. Tables dirty and sticky each time I have gone. Best bet, Apple Pie....to go.
Pros: Pie
Cons: Service/Not Clean
