“Very good overall. Food was interesting and mostly delicious, but heavy on the vinegar/acid, which wore out our palates. Music volume was ok — we were able to converse without yelling - a nice change from recent experiences at other restaurants. (Suggest you moderate the thumping bass though — it sermed get louder as the evening progressed!) Liked the ambiance and pace of the meal. Staff and service was outstanding.“

“The food is excellent. The wait staff helpful and attentive. The space is warm if a bit cramped. Our only complaint is that the restaurant opened its doors to a long line of walk-ins whom they seated first ahead of people (like us) with reservations. We had a 5:30 reservation and arrived early. The hostess apologized while seating us that there weren't any menus left to give us when we were seated. Then, after our waitress enticed us to order one of the sfizi specials, she came back to tell us that they were already sold out because the walk-ins at the bar had grabbed them all up. Wouldn't it make sense to seat those with reservations first?“

“Went to Viale while on vacation in MA. I found it to be better than the popular Italian restaurants in downtown Boston. The food was incredible. My wife, who is a vegetarian with high food standards, absolutely loved the beat salad, shaved brussel sprouts, and arancini that they served her. The meatballs were delicious. Service was great. The manager met with us and was very friendly and accommodating. This will be our go to spot from now on whenever we visit Boston.Vegetarian options: Some great vegetarian options on the menu, but the manager made it clear that they would also modify any dish to accommodate a vegetarian diet, upon request.“

“Tiny pizza shop in Cambridge. Cash only but they have an ATM inside.We ordered three slices of the Sicilian and a large half pepperoni and half pineapple pizza. The pizza was great. Love the taste of the bread and also the quality of the pepperoni was great. The Sicilian pizza was good but not as good as the pepperoni/pineapple.We'll be coming back as this was an overall great dinner.Parking: Street parking on multiple street around“

“Popped in here after an early PT appointment looking for a breakfast sandwich and good coffee before going to work. This place looks brand new. It's tucked away near the Fresh Pond mall. I ordered the huevos Diablo sandwich and a dark chocolate mocha. I sat down in one of the many comfy chairs while I waited for my order to come out, but didn't have to wait very long at all. I took a peek at the food before I took it to go. The sandwich looked delicious and the home fries that came with it where amazing! Whatever seasoning they're putting on those is absolutely delicious. The dark chocolate mocha was phenomenal. The breakfast sandwich didn't disappoint. The egg was perfectly over easy, the chorizo and the special sauce were absolutely delicious. I'm so glad I decided to make a quick pitstop and will definitely be back here.“

“I love the village kitchen. It's best to call and make sure they're open, but when they are- excellent food and wonderful service. It's not fast- sometimes there's just an owner working, but old fashioned attentiveness to food and drink done right. Excellent meats, pastas, and sandwiches, but especially eggplant parmesan. And espresso!“

“The food was excellent. The staff was lovely, making for a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The staff seemed to know everyone who came in besides us [our first visit, but we will go again]. It is a small dining area so noise level depends on your neighbours. The only drawback was that our table was just a little unsteady.“

“I didn't go into the restaurant, which is the reason behind me not rating the atmosphere. However, delivery was delicious! I got the aglio e olio, cheesy garlic bread and cannoli. The pasta was fresh, and seasoned well (note they put a fair amount of red chili flakes, so I'd ask no chili flakes if you aren't into spicy!). Of course the cheesy garlic bread and cannoli were yummy too. If you want some reasonably priced fresh pasta and associated fare, I would recommend stopping in here!Vegetarian options: I got the aglio e olio and there were other options that were vegetarian friendly.“
