17 Summer Restaurant,

17 Summer Street (Route 62), Maynard, (978) 897-2300.

A charming little bistro next door to Maynard's Fine Arts Cinema, 17 Summer Street offers a range that appeals to both the sophisticated diner and those who prefer home cooking. There's a selection of thin-crust pizzas and several pastas. We were delighted with roast rack of lamb with rosemary and roasted garlic, veal gorgonzola, and sauteed scallops with bacon, tomato and basil cream sauce on fettuccine. Bread and desserts are homemade and delicious.
