Restaurants in Somerville

“classy drinks and awsome servers”

“Zoe was our server and she was absolutely amazing. Super attentive and a pleasure to get to know. The food was delicious and perfect for a last night dinner in Boston!

Dietary restrictions: I have celiac and the restaurant was super accommodating and respectful about cross contamination”

“Hands down the best in Davis. Don't think twice about going to eat here! 10/10 atmosphere 10/10 staff 10/10 food 10/10 drinks Don't believe me? Go and see for yourselves! :)”

“Dylan made our experience so much fun!”

“I started going here in 2020 and slowly became obsessed. Best bakery and cafe in Somerville. The vibes of the staff are phenomenal but additionally the food and tea are to die for. I always get the London fog with vanilla and the vegan egg cheddar sandwich. Don’t forget to try to banana tajin muffin!!”

“One of my all time favorite spots in Somerville never had a bad meal. Great vibe and service always suggests it as one of the top spots in Somerville.”

“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!”

“Cute French bakery in East Somerville serving some delicious pastries and bread. About as close to a French bakery as you’ll find in Boston.

Small bakery in East Somerville, not the easiest to get to, but at least that means there won’t be a big queue!

I tried their almond croissant and their baguette. The baguette was superb: crispy, the perfect amount of chewiness, honestly I was transported back to Paris. Extremely authentic.

The almond croissant was very good (and beautiful!) One small criticism which prevents this from reaching 5 stars: I felt like the almond paste could have been more flavourful, and the croissant itself could have been slightly crispier. But still overall solid.”

“tasty steak and eggs with quick service!”

“Awesome food!! Awesome people! ❤️❤️”

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“This is such a delightful place to come for a drink, a meal, and a date night. The Eaves is a terrific setting for an intimate 2 or 3 person evening. The entrance is a bit tough to find in Bow Market - though after entering, it's to hide the high quality atmosphere that's inside.

We got drinks after being seated and we're impressed by the flavor of drinks indicative of a cosmopolitan feel.

The food was most impressive. The spice level was very high and was balanced with the wonderful flavours provided. The vegetarian salad was a good starter, followed by ceviche and finally, the duck. That duck is still something I am thinking about - tender, juicy, and with just enough spice that makes me want more.

Our service complemented a wonderful evening. The staff were always attentive to our needs, happy to answer questions, and ensure we had a great time. Though it's a bit pricey, The Eaves deserves 5 stars, a bigger place, and another visit from us and others. Thank you for such a great time and hope to come again soon!”

“june bug is a GREAT spot for a dinner out. The starters and pizzas are all excellent. The shrimp toast really is as good as everyone says - especially the green butter that comes with it!”

“A birthday meal that blew me AWAY”

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.”

“Love assembly row…this is a fantastic, yummy and fun addition! Great ambiance… staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend! :)”

“Super cute place with amazing food and cocktails. The mixed design ceviche was delicious, with some of the most tender squid I've ever had. Being more familiar with Spanish shrimp dishes, the Camarón al Ajillo was a different take that was really well executed. I want to bathe in the Aji del Gallino. The floral flavors of the Aji peppers and other warm spices combined to make a new comfort food for me. The mousse de lacuma was a nice easy to finish the meal. Would definitely go back.”

“Food and service are excellent!”

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!”

“Outstanding Indian food, we are so lucky to have Masala in Union Square.”

“The food was very tasty, but the overall experience was a little unsatisfying. We had a reservation for 8pm but were not seated until 8:20, after being told it would be 10 minutes a few times. It was extremely loud and hard to hear each other talk, but I guess that speaks to how popular it was on a Saturday night.”

“Maaaaaan, Pork Belly Burnt ends!!! That’s it…that’s the review!!! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥”

“Drinks are creative and fun. Service at the bar is a little slow but it’s ok. Also, heads up if someone in the restaurant orders the Brussel sprouts the whole place will smell.”

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!”

“🙂👍 Some really good food!”

“First time in Nee England and my buddy joined a bowling league. So I told him lets go and I’ll just chill at the bar. This place is awesome! Great flatbread, great beer and great service! If I’m ever up this way again I’m for sure making a stop here.”

“Super great staff and very knowledgeable in their dishes! Mahalo!!”

“Love the vibe! Great place to just get a drink, or eat to your heart's content. I have been holding Twisted Networking- Somerville, MA for a while in the side room- awesome! #askjo”

“We feel loyalty to Juliet for serving the community in the pandemic. We've come back since then from time to time for decent enough meals. Alas our dinner tonight was just awful. The Clam Shack menu drew us, but the fried clam plate we shared was the worst we've ever tasted. Crunchy hard crust, flavorless, with nearly undetectable clams and one little lemon wedge, no tartar sauce or more interesting sub. And the pasta dish: gummy pesto-like veg combo on pre-cut fettuccine as if we're kids. Okay, enough whining from me, but I'm sad Juliet isn't better. We liked the ambiance of the bar.”

“We live really close to daddy jones, and it’s become our go-to for dinner (and occasionally brunch!) now for the past three years. Their cocktails are always excellent & creative (and rotate seasonally). Their gyros are incredible, salads are so fresh, and we really love their lemon pepper wings and sweet potato fries. It’s a really cute date night spot, and the service is always fast and friendly. A bonus during the summer is the patio space in the back!”

“Best coffee and absolutely best service!! Always clean!”

“Generally pretty good, but they forgot nuggets that I ordered yesterday and don’t pick up the phone for me to figure out what to do. I’m guessing this is a regular problem because, “memory is full””

“I am close to this McDonald's restaurant. I eat there, buy coffee there for my morning wake-up and I work a shift there. I strongly recommend this restaurant to you.”

“Great coffee. Delightful owners”

“José and his crew always serve beautiful, fresh, delicious sushi with innovative flair! The newly designed space is stylish and comfortable.”

“This charming little café offers delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches served on English muffins. The space is small, with just a few tables, but they also have a separate online order window, which is great for pick-up. My friend and I tried two lattes—one fall special and a vanilla oat milk latte—and both were solid, quality coffees. Nothing extraordinary, but definitely satisfying.

It was a bit busy, so we waited around 15-20 minutes, but it was worth it. We both went for breakfast sandwiches, which come in different varieties with optional toppings for an additional charge. Honestly, this was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Even though it was on a smaller English muffin, it was hearty without being overly filling, and everything was cooked perfectly—especially the melted American cheese. The English muffins were soft and had a great flavor, much better than store-bought.

I got the egg and cheese sandwich with bacon and avocado, and I’ll definitely be back!”

“Got recommended a flat white after drinking cappuccinos for the last 5 years, and haven’t gone back - thank you, knowledgeable baristas :) Best local coffee shop there is.”

“I had an amazing experience here! The moment we walked in they were super welcoming. Their food was absolutely amazing and what made my experience even more special was their generosity. They offered us some free food and went above and beyond which was super thoughtful. If you're looking for a local Greek restaurant in Somerville this is definitely the place. I'll definitely be coming back!”

“For years, I breezed past this spot, assuming it was just and old convenience store. Little did I know, I was missing out on some good sandwich deals. A few months back, I discovered they were slinging subs, so I stopped by a couple times to grab some cold subs.

P&K has been a neighborhood fixture for over seven decades, and you can feel that old-school charm the moment you meet the owner. He’s the kind of guy who’s always friendly and never skimps on the toppings—generosity is clearly baked into the business. While the sandwiches aren’t quite the size of Al’s famous subs, they still pack great value, and honestly, they’re hefty enough that I rarely manage to finish one for breakfast. My favorites so far were the seafood salad and the classic Italian sandwich.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for no-frills, classic Italian subs. Just keep in mind that the hot subs aren’t usually available until after 10am.”

“Great flavor, can’t go wrong with anything here!

The Pandan coconut cake has great coconut flavor and was light and fluffy, maybe could use a little more Pandan flavor though. The Thai tea cake had so much flavor, very strong! Also would recommend the iced Pandan drink which is perfectly refreshing for a nice day, overall a great spot for a treat or a drink!”

“Ari’s the best there! Knows my order and everytime I get a bowl there, my stomach is satisfied! Definitely recommend getting half hawaiian and half shrimp in your bowl next time you come to Pokemoto! Spam musubi is a must here too”

“This food was simply mind blowing. Some of the best food I've had anywhere. Can't say enough. Had a chicken bowl and shared beef arepas. Wow. Worth a trip from anywhere.”

“The best. The food is fantastic and authentic. I have been coming here every year when in Chelsea since 2021 for either lunch or dinner. I have never been disappointed!! If in Chelsea, MA -- give it a try!!”

“it is take out so atmosphere is a non issue ... although it is located in Bow Market which offers many seating alternatives including a coffee stop at Remnant Brewery. I love this place...the staff is friendly and efficient and everyone knows how to make a great b fast sandwhich with quality ingredients!! Pair it with a capacino from Remnant and it is the best breakfast in Union Square!!! (you wont have to take out a loan to pay for it either!)”

“Best Thai food in Somerille. Recommend Khao Soi the best”

“In a convenient location with a great selection of fresh ingredients for you to build your own poke bowl, I would gladly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten-free options 😁”

“Super chill spot! The beer was awesome as expected, but the surprise was the great coffee they’re now serving. Bonus points for the Saturday morning yoga class! Great vibes, good drinks, and a pretty neat way to start the weekend 🧘”

“This was the best night out I’ve had with my husband in a long time. The food was spectacular- I suggest the mezze platter so you can try everything, and of course the koshari. The mushroom fritters they had as a special were divine. The atmosphere and quality of service were top-notch and we will absolutely be coming here regularly.”

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!”

“One of the last true local venues in the Boston area. A Real club for real musicians to lay a solid foundation to create original music, build a fanbase and collaborate with peers.”

“Definitely some of the freshest and tastiest seafood and innovative sushi and asian food I've had in a while, very fresh and tasty!”

“Good Pizza but right now they put trucks in the bike lane multiple times a day. Need to work with the city to solve this please eitha losing zone for the area. Til then can’t eat here any more😢”

“We usually order from a different Shawarma place in Somerville, but decided to give Sam's a try. The food was very good, and in good sized portions. They were good about following requests to leave things out of the wraps. Note that they do the style with fries on the side rather than in the wrap. My only complaint is that they list some, but not all, of the ingredients on their site. So if you have things you can't eat, I definitely recommend calling them to double check. My partner can't do creamy sauces, and they listed tahini sauce but not garlic sauce in the lamb/beef shawarma, which ended up being a problem. Not a huge thing, just annoying that they make it look like everything is listed when it isn't.”

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.”

“Delicious food and great value! The free shrimp chips were a delightful surprise, and the Chicken Hot Basil and Pho (no 2) were both yummy. The 10% cash discount made it even better. Highly recommend!

Parking: It is depends on which day you plan to go. Unlike weekdays, Sunday parking is free throughout the street, including in resident-only locations.”

“Great place. Food is great and family owned! 👏👍”

“Awesome food and the staff is friendly. Also the hometown Cafe atmosphere is great.”

“Food was really good and quick delivery”

“ill start with the shawarma being extremely underwhelming. east-coast metropolitan canada has spoiled me when it comes to a good shawarma: fluffy garlic sauce, meat that melts in your mouth, perfectly pickled pickles, a saj that’s dunked in the shawarma juice and flambéed on the grill. and this shawarma is not that. this is dry af and i don’t think there is good shawarma in boston. you should just do the 6 hour road trip to ottawa

but alas! this review is actually not for the shawarma because then it would’ve been much lower than this score. this review is for the baklava. for $5, you get a huge square of baklava that is so perfectly crisp and chewy. overwhelming flavour profile of floralness in the syrup - much more than other baklavas ive had in the Boston area and i LOVE it. orange blossom/rosewater is so under emphasized in baklava nowadays and noor does it so right….. for $5 how can you even complain?!?!? this is value maxxing. id come again and again and again just for this baklava. thank you for your service noor mediterranean grill”

“Eu e minha família vamos lá todos os dias , amamos o atendimento e os produtos que delícia de pão”

“If you are ordering for pick up DO NOT use their online ordering system through Door Dash. There’s a $3 surcharge for just picking it up! I also wish the restaurant made people aware of it on Google.

My order was missing fish sauce so I called the restaurant and Molly the person I reached was really helpful in getting the situation resolved.”

“Dosa was very fresh and waiters very kind. The wait staff help you to select flavors and keep your water glass filled.”

“I was thoroughly surprised when I went in on a late Friday evening, although it was just myself and another gentleman dining, I thought the staff were attentive and quick when it came to taking my order. Once I ordered the food took about 15 minutes to come out and it was fresh authentic Brazilian food that was delicious and the portion was great, I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this spot.”

“the sandwiches are really that good, that you're gonna be disappointed by everything else in a 100 mile radius as long as the memory sticks with you. i didn't even know i could enjoy a sandwich like that.”

“I had the pleasure of dining at Antojitos and it was a great experience. The staff are very warm and accommodate to what you are looking for. The food was very tasty. I will definitely be returning to Antojitos.”

“Ordered the Bomba Pizza, crust was thinner and a little crispy (might have been even better if I ordered it extra crispy). Great drink selection, worth the visit if you’re looking for pizza for sure.”

“So glad I found this spot! The ?coffee is incredible & it's always great to find gluten-free options for tasty treats!
Mike is a sweetheart & creates the best environment! You will leave happier than you came! Highly recommend!”

“Hands down best bar in Boston. It's this generation version of cheers. Amazing to watch any game in and if you're not a Pat's even better. Although I miss the OG huevos rancheros the food is always on point and I've never had a bad meal there. I bike from beacon Hill where I'm surrounded by bars but theres only one I'd go out of my way to catch a game or grab brunch. It's parlor sports. I'll fight anyone that says otherwise to the above.”

“พอดีซื้อมาลอง 1 กล่องเป็นข้าวมันไก่ผสม อร่อยมาก เหมือนที่เมืองไทยเลย รอไม่นาน 10/10 It is a scrumptious meal for my alone dinner. The taste is original and the portion stuffed me perfectly.”

“I am a self-proclaimed pizza snob and generally only enjoy NY-style pizza, but Royal Pizza & Subs makes an excellent pizza that rivals what I grew up eating. The sauce was perfectly seasoned, the sauce-to-cheese ratio was ideal, and the pepperoni was high quality. The medium-thickness crust was slightly different from NY-style pizza, but so delicious that I didn’t mind one bit! (It was a bit softer and chewier than what I’m used to, and I didn’t notice any semolina flour on the bottom.) My spouse doesn’t usually eat the crust, but we both finished every last bit of our slices! The pizza was a little greasy because of the generous portion of pepperoni, but who would complain about that?! Nothing a few napkins can’t fix!

The staff were super friendly and the service was great: our pizza was ready so quickly! The prices were also extremely reasonable for the amount and quality of food. I am so happy that this restaurant is so close to home: it’s going to become a regular place for us to eat at! We only tried the pepperoni pizza last night, but I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. If you’re in Somerville, don’t miss the chance to eat here!”

“My family and I were in town visiting. We stopped here to get some food before heading home. While the wait was long, the food was so worth it. Not only was the hostess so accommodating and friendly, but the portions were huge and delicious! Between the 6 plates, we ordered Chicken, fried turkey and the fried pork(griot) which were all cooked to perfection! 10/10 would highly recommend! We’ll absolutely be back whenever we’re in the area again.”

“I liked their concept of having rotational menus allowing different chefs to have a place to cook and present their cuisine. Definitely a concept that needs more attention and visibility in the Boston food scene. I can’t remember what I’d ordered but it was delicious.”

“You MUST take a class with Jason. He’s the best, down-to-earth guy who makes sure everyone has a great time (with plenty of wine) while he teaches you how to make an amazing meal.”

“It is so nice to see something actually from my child hood still around this over priced gentrified city. The bread is incredible, and the service is always great. I wish there were more staples like this still around in the Ville.”

“Wow! The Grapao is soooo good—this place is the jackpot. Five stars all the way”

“The tangsooyuk was so crispy and warm when brought out. I love love the light sweet and sour that goes with it. Great recommendation from a very lovely waiter!

The two classic noodles we got from a combo. Great portion for a really good price. Jajangmyeon was exactly what I imagined and even better. I ate the whole bowl without feeling bored at any time. Jjamppong’s broth was perfect for a rainy day. Warm, seafood-based broth went really well with the noodles and the toppings.

The restaurant is set in a way than wherever you sit, there is a sense of privacy which I really like. Will definitely come back ?”

“Thank you so much for delivering produce during the pandemic! You guys rock.”

“Thank you so much Didi my sister bought me momos fried chawmine and thuppa from your store today. It has been so so long that I didn’t Have foods from you. Omg I ate too much and couldn’t resist 🙄You always remind me Nepal every time I eat your food. I just want to say thank you very much for such a authentic great Nepali foods. You and your foods are always awesome. I highly highly and highly recommend this place if you wanna taste real Nepali foods 🇳🇵”

“Wonderful food as always. Very authentic and always the best! Thank you Tu y Yo!”

“loved my first experience, was greeted by the owner, the staff was amazing with helping me pick a certain bowl and was a cool place to sit enough the AC, fresh food and music being played while I enjoyed my lunch hour break”

“Excellent experience. The food and service was great. I will definitely recommend Premiere to my friends”

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!”

“Best Thai food in Somerille. Recommend Khao Soi the best”

“Great coffee. Delightful owners”

“The stake was too cold and the sushi was very very spicy. Not able to enjoy the dish in the first bite. Server Jessica was very understandable and gave us the menu for another option. Second time, the stake was very good. Also the Cajun Chicken the coleslaw had too much mayo and was not very enjoyable.”

“Stopped in late. The kitchen was about to close. They said if we order quickly we could eat. The burgers were the best we had in a long time. The bartender was awesome and friendly. Very nice spot”

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.”

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.”

“MUITO BOA COMIDA CHURRASCO TOP,ÓTIMO ATENDIMENTO SUPER RECOMENDO.”

“We live near Union square but will always come to Davis for the pizza. I still dream about the taco special pizza from a few months ago and the broccoli rabe is to die for!”

“This place was great!! Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere!”

“I came here because I was in the outlet and I have discovered this place and I am glad that I did. First, the food is amazing and hands down the chicken is the best in town. Second, the cashir Malak is an amazing and kind person, her manager is great and kind too. They gave us a new item in the menu to try for free and it was amazing. Finally when we left we thought to order a pickup order to eat at home next day and when I came to pick up I found out that I had chosen the wrong branch by mistake. The cashier Malak and her manager solved the issue even when it was my mistake. I would come here again and again and would recommend everyone to try their delicious food.”

“Great place. Food is great and family owned! 👏👍”

“Beef spring rolls were delicious. The tofu Banh Mi was pretty good but just another Banh Mi. However, the Banh Mi was pretty cheap ($12), so they seem to know its place”

“I took my fiancée to Ruth’s Chris Steak House at Assembly Square to celebrate her birthday, and wow—what an unforgettable experience! 🎉✨ From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was a whole vibe—perfect for a romantic dinner. 💖🥂 The staff went above and beyond, decorating our table to make her feel extra special, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Now, let’s talk about the food—🔥 AMAZING! 🔥 Every bite was perfection, from the sizzling, buttery steaks 🥩 to the delicious sides that paired perfectly with our meal. The flavors were rich, the portions were generous, and the presentation was on point. 👌

Customer service was top-notch! 🙌 The staff was attentive, friendly, and truly made our night special. We wanted a romantic and memorable dinner, and that’s exactly what we got. If you're looking for an upscale, intimate setting with incredible food and outstanding service, this is the place to go! Highly recommend! ⭐✨

“Food was very good with very fresh fish, sechuan green beans that hit the mark, and tasty potato wedges as well. We've always had great meals and service at Legal and keep coming back! Lisa, our waitress last evening, was really efficient. Thanks!”
