We could spend all day writing about everything that Blue Ginger’s Ming Tsai is up to, so we try to be selective about mentioning Wellesley’s most famous chef and restauranteur. But thought this interview with him on CNN about Five Things My Mom Taught Me In The Kitchen That I Still Use Today would be [...]

We recently lamented Jimmy’s Cafe’s lack of an online presence to go along with its expanded hours, including Sunday brunch and dinner. We lament no longer: Jimmy’s Cafe is online here. The website includes menus, prices, hours, etc. Next request: online coupons. Where to eat in Wellesley

Bobby’s Grille, the American grille that opened last year in Wellesley’s Lower Falls area at 11 Washington St., is seeking an investor after one of its backers  pulled out. We’d been wondering what might be up after noticing the restaurant’s website being on the fritz. We received a tip this week that there was a [...]

UPDATED SAT 9/11: While we’ve noted recently that plenty of Wellesley storefronts have been empty for while, it’s not surprising to hear that the former College Square Pizza space at 552 Washington St., might not remain vacant for long. Wellesley’s Joe Perdoni, Jr., whose family has been in the food business for years, plans to [...]

The Townsman features an update on Jimmy’s Cafe, a Wellesley restaurant on Linden Street whose newish owners are sprucing up the menu, have brought back an original chef and are expanding hours to include Sundays for brunch and dinner. We’d love to see them add a website as well. Jimmy’s didn’t make our list of [...]

With Wellesley’s recent loss of businesses offering relatively affordable food — Star Market, College Pizza (and possibly Tian Fu) etc — we got to wondering about what the most expensive dish in town might be (excluding specials and offerings “priced daily”). Our search of Wellesley’s restaurants naturally started at Blue Ginger, known for its tasty [...]

Jeez, hadn’t even occurred to us to start our own food line. Guess Upper Crust beat us to the punch with “The Swellesley,” their Slice of the Day for Thursday. The details:  “Topped with chourizo, Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil, crushed red pepper and basil.” Your Ad Here

The Townsman has gotten to the bottom of the College Square Pizza mystery and it isn’t pretty, involving a stint in jail, immigration issues and eviction. The restaurant closed suddenly in May, and speculation ran wild as mail piled up inside the front door and vague signs promised a re-opening at some point. Despite the [...]

You’ll really be able to make a night of it over on Rte. 9 in Wellesley pretty soon when a restaurant named Justine’s opens at 978 Worcester Rd. (where the legendary Wellesley Motor Inn once did business)  nearby the new CVS.  Pick up some lipstick or Tums or whatever at CVS, then head out for [...]

Apparently College Square Pizza was a haven for Wellesley’s starving artist contingent. The fine work of one artist shows support for Theo Tsitos, College Square Pizza’s owner, whose 13-year-old business mysteriously closed shortly before the end of May (though does threaten to re-open via a handwritten sign in the window). The board of health has [...]

While College Square Pizza in Wellesley Square has now been closed for something like a month and mail is piling up inside the door, a sign on the front door does offer hope that it will re-open “soon” (whenever soon is). An earlier sign simply noted that the business was on vacation. The eatery’s owner [...]
