Absolutely wonderful. The hot buttered lobster rolls were phenomenal. There is also a seating area if you don’t want to wait to eat it.

Stopped in on our Northend walk for a quick bite. The lobster rolls were delicious! Highly recommend the lobster roll or any sandwich.

Loved it! I recommend the Italian sub on their braided roll (suggested to me by a staff member), add some spicy relish, and enjoy. Our group also had garlic fries, which were perfectly crispy.

Pauli’s was recommended so we gave it a try. It is a small diner, limited seating, quick service. We ordered the hot lobster roll, I took my friend here because she had never had a lobster roll. I was disappointed, the roll was Luke warm...at best, maybe just an off day for them. The service was very good, friendly and quick.More

Right next door to Neptune's so this place gets a lot of high quality clientele. Inside, it has the vibe of a "hole in the wall" but the food is so good! I ordered the Lobsta Grilled Cheese, which came with a bag of chips....Tasted great but wasn't as filling as a Lobster Roll likely would have been for about the same price ($28). It says it has 7oz of lobster meat in it, which is more than a traditional lobster roll (4oz), so maybe it was the relatively thin white bread that did not fill me up.More

I was recommended this place by friends. Heard it was excellent. I got a cold sub and Clam chowder and was disappointed. I will try it again since it’s so well rated and comes highly recommended

We LOVED their subs until the last few months. What happened? The rolls are different - just since this July. They cut the meat in the subs in half. Too bad as your changes have lost you some loyal customers.

Busy place for noon on Sunday! From the Midwest and first time trying a lobster roll. Went with cold. YUM! Roll was nice and soft. Mayo didn't overwhelm lobster. My sister and her husband tried warm lobster roll and wished they had done cold -...too much butter on warm. Clam chowder was also very good.More

We walked over from downtown, looking for some authentic Italian food. The clam chowder was hot, but lacked flavor. The broccoli chicken Alfredo was ok, but not great. It could have used a lot more sauce and more broccoli. The lobster rolls did look amazing....The place was hopping and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. That was a big plus.More

Pauli's offers a great selection of Italian food. The pasta is solid, but the real shining star for me were the sandwiches. From the meatball sub, to the Italian, it's all incredible. I got delivery via Uber Eats, and it still showed up hot and...fresh. Even the hot sandwiches had not gotten soggy, a testament to the qualify of the toasted buns they use. Pauli's is legit Italian in the middle of Boston.More
