Things to do in Belmont
1. Blue Ribbon BBQ

Reviewed By Paul B - Boston, Massachusetts
I brought my Dad and we split a burnt end platter with coleslaw and baked beans. Plenty of food for 2 in one platter order. Actually more then enough! Staff is very friendly and food comes quickly. The BBQ is excellent. Just the right amount of smoke and sauce. Baked beans were very good and we enjoyed the tangy coleslaw. We sat inside and enjoyed our meal. Overall a very nice experience and they get the excellent rating from the quality of food. Great job.

For those of you who love chocolate, hot or cold, or melted or candied...this is the place for you. This quaint shop right on Brattle Street near Harvard Square is a must visit, especially during a long, dreary winter. The hot chocolate (dark, milk and white) is like drinking melted chocolate bars. You will never be the same. I used to bring my Harvard freshmen here to unwind, destress and talk about life in "the Yard". Come and visit, you won't be dissatisfied.
3. Il Capriccio
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 267 reviews
Il Capriccio serves a constantly changing Northern Italian menu featuring local products with an award winning Italian wine and Grappa list. Though long considered a local secret, Il Capriccio has been the number one Northern Italian restaurant in Zagat's for the past seven years. The wine list has been featured in Decanter, Sante, Wine & Spirits and Stuff. The same menu is served in the Bar. We like to serve great food and great wine in a comfortable setting.

We had a terrific dinner here recently. The service was efficient and prompt, and the dining rooms eye-appealing. The real star here, though,is the food, which was just about perfect. The duck breast and lamb chops were excellent, and the Fettuccine Carbonara was very flavorful. My only issue is the price points - everything we had was pricey, even the Fettuccine. I wouldn’t have minded THAT, but the Fettuccine portion was such that I thought it was an appetizer size. (So I filled up on the nice bread.) Nonetheless, this store has been here for decades, so it’s clear that the dining experience for all its patrons clearly outweighs the associated cost.
4. Clear Flour Bread

I walked in and the aroma immediately brought me back to Paris. The loaves of bread every where and pastries and dessert on display. I purchased 2 baguettes and 2 plain croissants. They were as close to what I had in Paris as they could have been. Unlike Paris, it was pricy (I think it was about $15.00) but the quality was second to none.
5. Rancatore’s Ice Cream
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 65 reviews
"rancs LOVE!" These two words have come to define who we are as a company and as member of our communities. "rancs LOVE" defines how we treat our team of local kids, our partners and our guests. "rancs LOVE' is what goes into every cup, cone, cake and coffee we make. "rancs LOVE" is that beacon in the sky that drives us to constantly improve, to make great ice cream and to bring happiness to your day. "rancs LOVE" drips down the side of the cone and we scrape every last drop out of those cool lime green cups. "rancs LOVE" is that slurping empty straw sound we all dread. come by and see "rancs LOVE" for yourself

Ranc's has been operated by joe R for many years. He puts out a great product and takes pride in his work. He has even expanded to Lexington center as well. Banana and cobalt chocolate are my favorites.

Went wuth 4 adults and 2 kids under the age of 4. Food was okish with the starters being slightly better than main course. Fusion food and being vegetarian and vegan friendly was tge main attraction. Restaurant was reasonably busy. Service was poor. When the bill came tgey had added 18% to the bill & yet presented the bill requesting gratuity. Not being aware of this I paid another 20% the end result being a whooping nearly 40% being tips. The underhand practice left me fuming but it was too late for me to do anything. Wont ever come here again.
