My fiance (whoa, weird to say) and I are
going out tonight and are not real familiar
with the area yet.

Coming from Southern NH we love Michael Timothy's
and Un-Wined in Manchester.

We're trying to find a place like that in the Worcester
area. Can anyone make some suggestions?

Thank you

Vinny T's is pretty good, and there is some decent outdoor seating.

I think we're going to check out Mezcal on Shrewsbury Street.
Menu looks good too

1st via, if not bocado

If you want an Italian place go to Shrewsbury st. end of story.

Mac's dinner is great for low cash great eats. Plus its BYOB

VIA if you want to blow some dough and get wop food.

Brazilian-Check out the place next to De'reco's market (I forget the name but its on the corner of Shrewsbury and E. central st.)

For a good brew and a pretty good american/pub food place go to Brew City

Chinese check out Red Lantern

You have a plethora of good establishments on Shresbury st. just drive down it and take your pick.

Vinny T's is also good, but a bit to "chain restaurant" for me

The Lamplighter puts out a good spread as well.

Hmm, depends on what you're looking for. Romantic, steakhouse, Italian, etc...

Check out Dino's for a cozy atmosphere and good italian food: Dino's Restaurant, Worcester Mass

If you like seafood and don't mind spending some money, the Sole Proprietor is worth the visit: The Sole Proprietor

If you want Teppanyaki (think Japanese steak house), try the Sakura Tokyo: OurMenu

I've also been partial to Ciao Bella for informal occasions when I want italian food.

For really informal, Coney Island hotdogs are fantastic!

interesting thread...I'll be in Worcester awhile, so if anyone has any other good suggestions, throw them out...

otherwise:
-another modest, cozy place is Elsa's Eatery, right next to Vinny T's on route 9
-I heard Holy Cannoli's is a pretty good bakery, but I'm not a huge fan of sweets or the Vernon Hill/Kelly Square area
-A cheap/well-known deli in the area is the Regatta Deli on Lake Ave (order the Regatta sub)
-unhealthy, late night food/chicken wings = Wings Over Worcester until 2AM
-and lastly, Flying Rhino on Shrewsbury street is sort of a funky but nicer place to get dinner.

off topic: has shrewsbury street become a posing site? I went to subway for dinner and saw a bunch of Harleys parked in front of Funky Murphys
