  I love that this place has 1. locally sourced, fresh food; 2. BIG portions. Got a salad, large pepperoni mushroom pizza, and it was huuugeee, and the brownie sundae dessert--have never been more stuffed in my life. I basically became one of the bowling balls. Waitstaff was really helpful in guiding us with what to order and informing us about the menu, and did a great job with following up with us to see how we were doing. They also have flatbreads that can be accommodated to allergies! Didn't get to bowl but will definitely be back in the future!

  After reading all of the reviews, I was prepared for the worst, but thankfully the worst never happened.
  
  We had our end of summer company party here. We were about 15 people. The staff was friendly enough and accommodating. The only issue we had was it seemed our server was a bit overwhelmed and it was hard to get ahold of her. A few of us also waited quite awhile for drinks, but we were a large party and not the only ones there.
  
  It was pretty dead when we got there at 3:30, but by the time I left at 6, things were in full swing. I was happy to see lots of little ones, they're very kid friendly. The little balls make it easy for little ones to participate and there's a changing table in the women's bathroom. Also happy to say that despite reports of a lack of diversity, there were lots of people of different backgrounds and races, plenty of students.
  
  Candle pin bowling is a lot of fun! I wish they included rules on the score sheet or posted them up somewhere as they rules are different from conventional bowling.
  
  Pizza was DELICIOUS. Crispy, cheesy goodness. Ingredients tasted like quality stuff. Well seasoned and just enough garlicky herby flavor. Dough was spot on. I said pizza, because it's pizza not flatbread.
  
  Overall great experience and will bring my hubby and daughter there.

  This was my first time candlepin bowling and Sacco's did not disappoint. The place is fairly small so if you come during prime time expect to wait for a lane, but we got there a little early and were able to play right away. They have food/drink service at the lanes so you can snack and bowl which was much appreciated. There's also a side bar and restaurant if you want to hang out and wait for a lane.
  
  The scoring was a little confusing, but they provided rules and examples so it's pretty easy to get the hang of. They charge by the hour so you can play as much or as little as you want - the flexibility was great. The only part of the experience I wasn't prepared for was how close together the lanes are. When actually bowling you don't notice, but while waiting your turn on the bench if you're next to a big party (we were) it can get a little cramped...especially once food and drink come into the mix. If you come expecting to make some new acquaintances then you'll be fine!
  
  But overall I honestly have no complaints and I would gladly come back again!

  I've been to Sacco's before and have always had a great time - hence why I chose this location to be the host of my quarterly "team fun" event.  I am a Senior Regional Director that oversees 70+ people and felt that Sacco's could be a trusted partner in helping me deliver a stress-free good time for my Boston employees who deserved an evening of fun and team bonding - but boy was I wrong.  
  
  Almost immediately upon arriving, I was unable to relax like I wanted to as our waitress single-handedly ruined our experience and caused us to leave early.  Between rudely interrupting me 4 times (no exaggeration) to ask for my ID before I was even able to finish speaking the name of the beer (and let's get real...while I may look younger than my almost 40 years, I am a boss at a work event, not a teenager trying to cheat her); to giving us warnings to wrap up every 5 minutes starting only halfway through our reservation time (nothing says fun competition than having a stifling, nasty waitress barking the time at you for 30 minutes straight); to being asked to leave our lane early for no reason whatsoever, this woman was just about the worst, most off-putting waitress I have ever encountered in my life and is the reason why I will never return or recommend Sacco's to anybody I know.  
  
  Prior to becoming a boss in tech, I worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years.  I know how it works and I know when a place is NOT busy and doesn't need to rush customers out the door.  In fact, I know how to make them feel welcome so that they stay and order more.  I also know what people under 21 look like and as a seasoned bartender, I certainly know when people have had too much to drink or are acting out of hand.  None of which was true this evening at Sacco's where half the restaurant was empty, no one was waiting for lanes, and half my team ordered lemonades and the other half only 1 beer each.      
  
  The only reason I didn't give my review one star is because the pizza was really good and the beer selection is top notch.  Too bad the rude service completely discounts all of that.  I'm sure Saloon was happy though as we relocated our event there, had amazing service, and spent the rest of our budget.

  Came here for a team event and had a good time. First time playing bowling in this kind. Love to visit  places which has a lot of history towards it. About the food, 2 brick Owens and they fire them up with wood. An amazing view and the Owen does heat up the place which is good during the winter time. Pizzas were really good. Hand made pizza and freshly made right in front you. We had a variety of veg and meat pizzas and the veg pizzas were amazing. Would definitely recommend this place.
