I hear them get trashed a lot around the neighborhood, but I think they're pretty good...haven't really had any bad experiences really.

Their fresh pasta can't be beat (though I've tried and tried!). Great food, sauces, and service.

THE BEST OF BOSTON (maybe mass? maybe the earth??) Forget the brick and mortar itself — which makes you want to forget whatever dead end you were chasing in your previous life and take up the accordion or lute in overalls on the cobbled streets of a sea town — the food and those who lovingly prepared it are the reason you find every and any excuse to return to Dave’s.The team at Dave’s put together the most beautiful wreath of meats, cheeses, and roasted vegetables for a party I hosted. Everything was fresh, delicious, and ready on time. I think I told Dave’s brilliant and hilarious wine chief (chief of wines? Vino lord n savior?) that I wanted 6 bottles of white wine that were as yummy as the labels and my guests (many of whom were the swirly-whirly-whiff-musical-notes sort of wine drinkers) were absolutely smitten, which made me look great so thank you.Thank you thank you thank you!To everyone reading this, go to Dave’s, fall in love, read more books (audio books do not count), start a family of begonias, hum a song you’ve never heard, leave Dave’s, and then do it all again. xoxo

It's my favorite place to get a sandwich in Somerville. Great wine selection with on-site sommelier. Love there cooking classes also. Everything is great here, you can't go wrong.
Pasta is always delicious. With the variety of flavors you can always find something you want. The staff is very helpful and willing to assist you in pairing a pasta or ravioli with one of the their fresh sauces.

I got the sundried Tomato turkey sandwich on focaccia, it was the best sandwich I have ever had. Life changing. The caprese was also delicious, everything tasted so fresh. Blueberry bar was also very good.

Great options for wine and beer, various types of fresh pasta, and other meal options (chicken parmesan, steak, etc). They also carry a smaller assortment of delicious bakery options (baguettes, bagels, cookies, etc).Best of all, their sandwich counter makes incredible lunch options fresh to order.
This store is so much fun to browse. I love the free samples that introduce me to new products. They have all kinds of amazing things, from fresh pasta to desserts, salads, baked goods, high-quality chocolates, produce, wine, prepared foods, cheeses, etc. etc. Each time I come to the area I try some new things here and take a bag of gourmet treats home. A Somerville highlight.

wow y’all were right. The grilled prosciutto fig sandwich was amazing. If it wasn’t $14 and an hour away I’d come back every week.Grocery selection is cute, but pricey. Mostly specialty foods/seasonings and then a lot of basically upscale white people branded foods (e.g. fishwife, chili oil, etc etc) that you can get at ethnic supermarkets for a fraction of the price.
