From the witty and kind host/owner that greets you, to the cool music selection, to the spectacular food, this place makes for a terrific night out and one of the best restaurant experiences one could ever imagine. A few tips: Bring your own wine. Relax and enjoy the bread and pesto dip. If you have a very large party, please call ahead as they may make an exception for the no reservation policy. And though you likely will have a wait no matter when you arrive, the host often keeps it fun by offering some tasty morsels while you hang out. You'll also be most comfortable waiting outside, so if you are expecting a long wait, you might want to come during decent weather. And, as the wait is unpredictable, it's best to go there realizing you might want to keep your options open to the wide array of other nearby downtown Needham restaurants. Stone Hearth Pizza could use the business!
Pros: Host, food, music, portions, BYOB, location
Cons: wait at peak (amateur) hours
