The word “moona” or “mouneh” in slang comes from the Arabic word mana or ma'oona, meaning "storing." In other words, it’s the English equivalent of "the pantry". In the past, especially in remote villages in the Arab World, the moona was prepared during the bountiful harvest for consumption during winter's harsh days, providing fundamental nourishment for the daily meal, having transformed perishable produce into food with a long shelf life: foods such as olives, pickles, preserved lemons, cheese, spices, herbs, jams, etc.

Pammy’s is a New American restaurant inspired by the feel of an Italian neighborhood trattoria. Perched between Cambridge’s Central and Harvard Squares, Pammy’s is a cozy yet sophisticated neighborhood destination. For husband and wife team Chris and Pam Willis (who live right up the street), Pammy’s is an extension of their living room.

With dishes that lean heavily on Italian flavors but are not restricted by any rules of the cuisine, the food is unpretentious and delicious. A fireplace wrapped in white ceramic, an oversized salvaged communal table designed for side-by-side dining and rich leather banquets are just some of the design elements that make up Pammy’s charm.We apply a 6% Kitchen Admin Fee to all checks that exclusively benefits our Back of House staff, who by MA law may not be included in the tip pool.

    We met with friends for drinks, tapas and catch up. The Little Donkey delivered: our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Vinho Verde was as described and great. Oysters were fresh and delicious, the vegetables were plentiful and well prepared, noodles had a great ratio of toppings vs pasta. We all agreed we enjoyed the experience and will be back. Thank you!

    Moona is highly regarded for a reason! Happy to see the new location retains the same level of quality and service. And shout out to Hassan and David at the bar who offered friendly conversation and excellent recommendations. Would definitely recommend for graduation, dinner with friends, date night, work meals, or solo dining (which is what I did).
