Looking for a new spot to try in downtown Northampton? Check out my seven recommendations, from mouthwatering crepes to locally rotating menus.
Joe’s Spaghetti Shack
This Noho classic is always packed with locals, and for a good reason! Joe’s serves Italian American classics at a great price point. Make sure to try their garlic bread and shrimp scampi pizza! I also highly suggest a carafe or half-carafe of one of their two house wines. This makes for a great date or girls night.
Homestead.
Homestead. is a nostalgic restaurant with a locally sourced, seasonally rotating menu. They have plenty of small plates to share and amazing homemade pasta. The space is comforting and warm, and they also have a great bar with creative cocktails. Their homemade dumplings and tamarind margarita are to die for. Make sure you make a reservation in advance!
Moshi Moshi
Moshi Moshi is a vibrant site to stop by for some sushi. They are a two-level spot where you can watch your sushi be rolled right in downtown Northampton. Try the Adolfo Roll for something different or a classic Spider Roll. Aren’t in the mood for sushi? Try a teriyaki or udon plate and enjoy their patio seating in the summer.
High Brow Wood Fire Kitchen and Bar
High Brow has a unique selection of pizzas and other quality plates with a French and Italian flair. Their pizzas are great for sharing if you order the small size. Try the Rapini + Sausage or the Duck pizzas, and you won’t be disappointed.
Bombay Royale
Looking for quality Indian food? Try Bombay Royale! If you really feel like filling up, go for the buffet, which is offered on both weekdays and weekends (price will vary). This is one of my favorite weekday lunch spots. They have several vegetarian and meat options that are all delicious. How can you say no to paneer with naan bread?
Tellus and the Satellite Bar
This restaurant/nightclub combo has surprisingly amazing food! They have a wide variety of pizzas and mouth-watering small bites. Try the smash burger and sweet potato bravas. They have a seasonally rotating menu, so check their menu for new additions! Reservations are recommended.
Mosaic
I absolutely love the salmon crepe at Mosiac. They have wonderful breakfast, lunch, and dinner plates that are bursting with flavor. Order an iced green tea and enjoy your meal on their patio or inside! This is also a great winter location for a cozy breakfast and coffee.
