Industrial-grade, overpriced, sad Italian living on it's once-deserved populist rep with locals. Colorful waitresses and great kitschy decor can't disguise bad food and value (though pizza is passable). Avoid.
All I can say is that it was overpriced & mediocre. We just went there for a business dinner. If I am going to pay $15 for a pasta dish, it better be darn good. The place puts up a nice 4-Star atmosphere, but the food was a laughable quality more suitable for Applebee's. Thier idea of Italian bread was something resembling "Wonder Bread" with seasame seeds on it, and they didn't give Oilve Oil for it (only butter). The dishes were very uninspired like "fried ravioli" (what no Briaciole???). The espresso tasted like used motor oil. The service was TERRIBLE, we often waited 15-20 minutes for the waitress to show her face again; so we gave up on ordering dessert. I have pretty bad indigestion as we speak...
This is an always crowded ,expect a wait,, local landmark kind of place. I don't get it..,one of the most over rated places to eat in Waltham.Garlic powder and garlic salt take the place of ALL herbs,spices and flavorings in the offerings that I have sampled..Pizza actually is good for the area.menu is very standard:A:Chix,broccolli,ziti-oily,garlic powder,no wine,no real flavor B Usual red sauce entrees(ziti w/ or w/o meatball etc C:Veal and chx cutlet 'parmesean'-dry ,veal is patty etc.. I have had friends say the seafood is excellent but I haven't tried.MAJOR PLUS: The Chateau does tremendous amounts to support the community from outright food donations to all school activities,fund raisers, all town events,quietly donating food to all the local food pantries,shelters,meal spots etc.They donate food,money,gift certificates etc to all the youth organizations(Salvation army,boys andgirls club etc).I am a repeat customer for that reason as it is extremely important and they do a very impressive job.
