Grabbing a farm-fresh burger at b.good always seems like a great choice when at Legacy Place.

Grabbing dinner at Kings, and a lane can mean not waiting in line for a lane.
There is no doubt that Kings is the spot in the area to lace up a pair of traction-less shoes, lift a 13-pound ball with three fingers and wing it down waxed wood at white pins that may - or may not - represent a source of stress. But with a full bar and more than a full menu, Kings offers up a great place to hang with friends or go on a date without bouncing around from place to place. With options from steak tips to fish and chips, this isn't your dad's bowling alley with frozen pizza and soggy fries. (That's because the waffle fries with buffalo sauce and BBQ chicken pizza makes you forget you bowled a 46.) If you're looking for a location to hang out for the night on a Friday or Saturday, hitting Kings early for dinner isn't a bad idea…

The family-owned shop in Westwood is a must for lovers of pizza and subs.
Opening in December 1995, Westwood's Islington Pizza and Sub Shop is a prime location for food lovers who enjoy pizza, subs, and, of course, a family-friendly atmosphere. "It's a family ownership," Owner Maria Tassiopoulos told Westwood Patch last summer. "And that's not just it. There is a low employee turnover, with some guys working here for several years. It is very family friendly - there's even a playground right behind us." The restaurant's location on Washington Street is ideal for anyone passing through town and looking for a quick bite to eat, but also for those who love a once-a-week specialtiy of buffalo chicken pizza, a mixed green salad, or a BLT.

Now is the perfect time to have a cliche night-out with dinner at Isabella Restaurant than catching The King's Speech.
If you are looking to head out to eat this weekend, but not willing to fight the traffic to get into the city, each week Dedham Patch will have a suggestion in or around Dedham of where to fill up. It's almost cliche at this point to say "catch dinner and a movie in Dedham Square" but right now we can't emphasize it enough. With the King's Speech still on the silver screen at Dedham Community Theatre, it is a great opportunity to see the Oscar-winning film that everyone is chatting about at the water cooler. And no other place can put you in the mood to watch a film about British royalty than to be treated as such at Isabella's. It is usually a busy atmosphere at the favorite of many townies around Dedham, but any wait is worth it. The …

Victoria's has a variety of Italian-style meals, as well as a fully-stocked bar.
For the last two weeks, our new Bites Nearby feature has offered some insight into local eateries, not just in Dedham, but in nearby towns like Westwood and Norwood. This week, we're taking a look at Victoria's Cucina Italiana in Westwood. Head chef and Owner Uziel DeSouza grew up in Brazil, and brings an inherited talent to the restaurant with a strong passion for food. "I grew up rolling up pizza dough and making meatballs when I was young," DeSouza told Westwood Patch last summer. "My mother tried to keep me away. She said 'Your father is never home. He works seven days a week.' But I always came back to it. I could never run away." The Italian eatery offers not only a variety of menu items, but is also one of the few establishments in …
