Was actually heading to the BBQ place next door when we passed by the open door to the kitchen and smelt the savory smells in the air, looked inside and saw the cooks making everything fresh, saw where we could sit outside and made an immediate detour to stay. Was a great decision food was very good. Got the garlic knot that was different for sure and very tasty, wife and I both had pizzas they came out fast! Was a good decision to stay. Waiter was very informative about menu and helping us decide on dinner this is worth the walk or drive! Especially if your at the convention center
I hosted a private event at Pastoral on a Sunday evening in October (approx. 75 people) and everyone who attended was blown away by the experience! The food was beyond delicious and hearty. The best description I can provide is "elevated authentic Italian gems." Arancini, charcuterie choices, figs wrapped in bacon and a homemade pasta bolognese that had everyone getting seconds! The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff provided top notch attention and service. It's a wonderful space and many who had been there for the first time cannot wait to return. Me included! Forget the North End with its crowded dining rooms. Go to Pastoral.
Nice place, nice ambiance, nice staffs, and best pizza. Their special pizza made me rethink about grapes. Grapes in pizza with raw meat actally tasted surreal. Other pizzas and garlic knot was good too. The outdoor seating had a nice vibe. Server was nice but he almost forgot our beer. Everything else was awesome.
Pastoral is an independent neighborhood restaurant in Seaport, when even fast-food spots are closed late at night in this area, Pastoral is still open, that’s such a relief for anyone hungry at night, and their food is not just a “late-night option,” but somewhere I’d eat anytime. Also, there is a Spanish-speaking guy at the door is always super friendly. No matter how late it is, he greets people with a smile, which makes us feel warm and welcomed. Lastly, running a restaurant after the pandemic is definitely not easy, and compared to places that secretly raise menu prices to pass costs onto customers, Pastoral is very transparent. They clearly list a small 3% fee to support their staff and operations. Honestly, I truly respect this, I highly recommend this spot!
Lovely pizza parlor! Its an easy 10 minute walk from boston south station! They serve a variety of pizzas, pastas, and other dishes. I got the steak frites! Super delicious. They have a wine list and serve yummy cocktails as well.
