“una super atención, la comida muy buena la verdad que es lo mejor que eh probado”

“Absolutely amazing experience! The cake for my daughter’s baby shower was beyond beautiful and tasted incredible. Every detail was perfect, and so many guests complimented both the design and flavor. The service was supreme from start to finish professional, kind, responsive, and truly caring about making the day special. You can tell they put so much love and talent into their work. Highly recommend for any special occasion!”

“Not only are the burgers reasonably priced, but they are pretty darn good too. Quick service. Lots of people get take-out but you can et in diner-like setting. You can order burger from the adjacent bar, but not the other way around [no beer in the burger joint].”

“They have great bloody Mary’s. Bloody Flight was a great choice to try all types they offer. Food was excellent and came out fast. Definitely recommend and will go back”

“daFilippo's is a hidden gem of a restaurant that has been my family's special occasion standard for many year's. The Northern Italian menu which changes to focus on only the freshest ingredients has a little Swiss influence and is presented with an artistic touch and personal care. Last evening I hosted sixteen business associates in the back room which has an iron gate for privacy. Filippo presented a five course meal which blew everyone away followed by him playing a few songs on the Piano. The Chicken or Cod dishes were pan seared to perfection. daFilippo's is a BYOB restaurant which I Love. My wife remarked how clean the restrooms are kept. Plenty of parking in the rear of the building. In closing, if you are looking for a family owned, unique restaurant where the owner chef touches every plate to ensure perfection then this is the place to make a reservation.”

“Bombay Canteen brilliantly channels the spirit of Mumbai’s street food scene right here in Somerville. Expect bold, fresh, vegetarian flavors, friendly service, and clever takes on classics—ideal for casual outings or adventurous food lovers. If you're craving authentic chaats, dosa, or a perfectly spiced paneer dish, this place is a must-visit.”

“Great drinks great food highly recommend”

“So grateful to Café Picasso for making my birthday dinner last Friday night a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was above and beyond! It's dimly lit inside which made reading the menu a bit challenging. However, everything we did order made up for it! I highly recommend the Frittura di Calamari for an appetizer. The following dishes we ordered were spectacular! Rigatoni alla Vodka, Penne alla Grotta, Gnocchi Alessandra, Norwegian Salmon (special), Penne al Forno, Spaghetti alla Carbonara and the Pollo alla Francese! It is a BYOB establishment, luckily there is a wine and spirits store next door. My family will definitely be returning to this beautiful gem in the heart of Somerville!”

“Kyma is the reason we drive 30 minutes for amazing authentic Greek cuisine. Our appetizer/small plate of smoked eggplant dip & lamb empanada with herb mint sauce was a wonderful start. Sea bass in tomato broth with potatoes & Aegean shrimp dish were perfectly prepared. We had to have the baklava with vanilla ice cream (no pic as we attacked it!). The ambience, service and food made for a beautiful meal!”

“Juiceville is hands down one of my favorite spots. Their drinks are absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and always made just right. You can really tell how much care and effort the owner puts into every single drink, and it makes a huge difference.

The atmosphere is also a big plus. It’s calm, clean, and comfortable a perfect place to sit down, relax, and even get some light work done while enjoying a great drink.

Great quality, great vibes, and genuine care behind what they do. I’ll definitely keep coming back and highly recommend Juiceville to anyone looking for a refreshing drink in a welcoming space.”

“We always have the BEST experience at Fresh Tiki Bar! Every time we go, the place feels bright, cheerful, and so welcoming. It’s the kind of spot that instantly puts you in a good mood.

Everything we’ve tried has been absolutely delicious and so creatively presented. You can tell they really care about making each treat fun and special. My son is completely obsessed with their waffle wands and never wants to put his down. It’s safe to say this has become our favorite treat stop!

If you’re looking for amazing desserts, a happy vibe, and a fun experience for families, this is it. We already can’t wait for our next visit!!!”

“You’ve never tasted cakes like this before in your life. Absolutely the ultimate. I had people at my party that never eat cake tell me that they had four pieces and they wanted more. Super fresh… Super unbelievable… Completely outstanding.”

“beautiful treats. taho that tastes like back home. friendly owner. cozy set up. I had the taho, yema cupcake & pandan cupcakes....YUM! I'll try the cassava cake later & their ube pan de sal.”

“Great coffee shop! Everything is organic in the shop. Love their cold brew Shandy, which you can customize with their various organic syrups throughout the entire year. Also their bacon breakfast sandwich and large crumble cookies (they have four or five different kinds) are to die for. And their organic lemonade is also awesome! And the barista’s know their stuff. I also like their grab and go organic sandwiches.”

“Amazing food. Had hummus shareable platter. Fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!”

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...”

“Great Subs and great service! Somerville, Support your local sub shop!”

“Fantastic fresh juices and smoothies, made right in front of you! It’s awesome to have a place like this in Somerville, and the owner Dorcas was so friendly and helpful as well. The only slight downside for me was that the prices are a tad high for my liking, $6-$8 for most drinks, but it’s understandable given the product and location. They are also going to be opening a salad bar soon, and I am excited to continue to support Vita Centro in the future!”

“Food and service was outstanding. Our first time eating here and it won't be our last. The best Thai food in the area.”

“My wife and I had Sunday brunch. I had the bulgogi skirt steak with kimchi. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium/medium rare and delicious! The kimichi was good, and the spicy cucumbers were excellent. My fried egg was cooked exactly to order. My wife had the portobello sandwich which she really enjoyed. We got the Bloody flight and all four were really tasty and very interesting. It was a busy afternoon, but our service was still fantastic, and our food was out promptly. I highly recommend Project PUB!”

“Have been going to this deli for years & they never disappoint. Great food & great staff. The staff always greets you with a smile & prices are very reasonable!”

“We came at 6 p.m. ,put our name in and were told we had a 20 min. wait. After 20 min. I went to check and was told then that there were reservations ahead of us that had to be seated. If we had been told this we wouldn't have waited. We found this very rude and unprofessional and we will not be choosing sara janes again.”

“I had my husband 60th birthday party in the Banquet Room. Giving the BIGGEST shout out Jen, Spencer and John who made it the best party ever. Walked me through every step from planning, ordering and choosing the right menu. It was the greatest party by far that we ever had. Bigger shout out to the bartender Julia and hostess Gabby. They are truly the best we ever had. The food was delicious and plates never empty. The party was a great success thanks to all at Alfonso's. Highly recommended. All you have to do is show up and they handle everything. Everyone who attended all commented how great of a party it was. I was so proud to have chosen Alfonso's. Thank you all!!!!!”

“อาหารอร่อยมาก จานใหญ่ บริการดีเยี่ยม”

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!”

“I can only speak for their burgers, and it was delicious! Cooked just right, juicy and full of flavor. The fries were golden brown, crispy and delicious! I almost order the sweet potato fries as well but that's for another time. They have a bunch of signature burgers to choose from or create your own. They have regular french fries or sweet potato fries as well as a few other side options I don't recall. The person who served me was polite, patient, and attentive. Location I was at is in Somerville and the outside ambience and neighborhood this time of the year really make for a good experience. I guess it's their official or unofficial Town square where you'll find a bunch of different shops and places to sit any or listen to the live band that they have playing.”

“The food is excellent, the service is a bit hit or miss depending who is working but overall it's still good. The atmosphere can get very loud especially if they have a dj setup and you're sitting at the bar, makes very difficult for talking. But overall coming back for the food.”

“Amazing food and service.”

“Excellent Dim Sum. Friendly service 👍”

“The best food in town and very good empanadas 🙌🏼🥰”

“We absolutely love Prima! The staff and pizza are the best!”

“Great food with great service”

“atmosphere was great, food was good. I miss this service since Moe's left. I wish their cheese sauce was better. homemade better, it was jarred. straight out of a can. I won't order that again but everything else was great.”

“Just spent St. Patrick's Day here. Live music, step dancers, amazing bag pipes, incredible food and a great price. They really shamrocked it this year. Our waiter was outstanding too!”

“Great bartenders...good food”

“I love the bowls but I switch up get a smoothies 😋 Everything is so good always greeted with warm welcome no matter who comes in the store. Ness thank you so much everything was delicious. If you never been to PLAYA BOWLS IN SOMERVILLE NJ I TELL YOU WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED. Ness is the Best”

“great atmosphere, coffee, food”

“Entering the 1933 Room felt like stepping into a different world, with each cocktail telling its own story. The bartender’s confidence and expertise added to the unique atmosphere, making it a memorable experience for all”

“friendly and nice atmosphere”

“Great homie food. Yummy burgers! Highly recommended!”

“The best cappuccino I’ve ever had! A legit coffee shop with strong, quality espresso—and even the smell of the coffee inside is amazing. The older gentleman behind the counter was quiet but very kind, originally from Napoli. This is definitely my new go-to coffee spot. I’ll be dreaming about this cappuccino until I return. YUM!”

“Came here to grab late night ice cream, and it was good. There are not many options to choose from though. They do have cupcakes, cookies, milkshake and ice cream.
Google pictures had then doing the icecream rolls, but they don't have that set up right now.”

“The atmosphere and food was pretty good when I brought my friends out here to eat. I can say with certainty that it blew away my clothes like in the hit anime Shokugeki no Sōma!”

“This is my family's top pick for pizza night! The pizza is aways great and they have it priced just right! If you're looking for more than just a quick bite Cafe Picasso's has been my all time favorite Italian restaurant for MANY years. Anything I order there is AMAZING and you leave with plenty of left overs for lunch the next day! They also have great specials during the week, we love going on Thurs nights for their date night special! ... and to top it off it's BYOB, you really can't get any better!! I've gladly referred many of my clients to these restaurants!”

“Affordable & Yummy: I’ve been here twice for lunch and once for breakfast. Very happy with all three meals. My special tip: try one of their Costa Rican dishes. Amy and I had seafood soup lunch; my favorite so far here. Really excellent. My wife liked it as well, large portion we had to bring some of it home. The seafood tasted fresh and the spicing was memorable. Excellent broth. ($17) I also had a breakfast. Sort of an American scrambled eggs, kind of breakfast and it was good ($7:50). Potatoes were outstanding. Yummy freash coffee. My second lunch was the Costa Rican style tacos, which were very good. First time I’ve had that. I had took a photo which I’ll put on the review. Came with french fries which were nicely done. ($12:50) Service all three times so it was excellent. Restrooms clean. The inside has a old-time diner look to it. Cleary was probably diner for a long time. They still maintain a more American traditional diner menu in addition to the Costa Rican themed dishes. It was a nice surprise for Amy and Foundmourselves in Somerville, I as we were looking for something downtown. I sat outside for the second lunch and it was great. You’ll see you in the picture. Owners are present. I like the old time diner look. Definitely a bias of mine being a diner guy so I gave him five stars for that🙂 (FYI: You won’t see too many bad reviews from me. I tend to only post reviews of places I like. Also, I only do reviews generally after visiting an establishment three times. I occasionally make exceptions. My first job was in the restaurant kitchen business, and everybody has a bad day.)”

“I didn’t eat Chinese food because I’m picky with chicken , I never like any place . This place is so good . I can’t stop ordering it . My favorite is the general Tso chicken ! By far the best.”

“Food was excellent. Especially the Chili Paneer and Gobi Manchurian was my favorite 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻”

“Try the beef soup or pozole. Great food and service.”

“So I've never been much of a sushi person, but my last trip here with friends changed my mind on that so now I'm locked in sushi mode ! I really like the all you can eat aspect so I can sample a little bit of everything and I really enjoyed my Seafood Udon, mackerel and crab sashimi, Edison rolls and more ! Want to come here soon !”

“The food was great as well as the service. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Best Ice Cream. REAL homemade ice cream. Best quality in town. Delicious!”

“Always an amazing dinner at Wolfgang’s, no matter what we order!! Best lychee martinis 🍸 around, wedge salad with extra bacon and steak 🥩 with side of German potatoes 🥔 and creamed spinach - there is no better steak restaurant!! 🍷😋”

“Awesome time!!! Awesome service!!! Thank You VintEdge Wine!!”
