👍👍 We like doing their brunch buffet. It has different options such as a few different pastas, pizza, salad, to breakfast items like bacon, potatoes and eggs. We love their garlic knots, they are amazing! I like to dip them in their creamy parmesan dressing.

👍👍 Stopped overnight in Newton on a trip and decided to try Biaggio's for dinner. Best decision ever. The food was outstanding. I had the pasta sampler. Great flavors and well balanced with no strong garlic. Very reasonable prices. I wish this restaurant was in our town so I could be a regular.
