11 Best Wine Bars in Cambridge

“Cozy and intimate spot with a good variety of wine options that seem to change often. Make sure you get reservations because there aren't a lot of tables. There are some small snack options like a cheese board, and deserts, too. The creme brulee and chocolate cake are really tasty!“

“An absolutely fantastic dining experience at Giulia. This is the kind of place that reminds you why great Italian restaurants are so special—thoughtful dishes, incredible flavors, and an atmosphere that feels both intimate and memorable.

Every dish we had was outstanding. The seafood pasta special with seabass and calamari was exceptional—perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. The squash appetizer was another highlight and set the tone for a meal where every course felt carefully crafted and unique. From start to finish, the food was creative, balanced, and simply delicious.

The service matched the quality of the food—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. It’s exactly the kind of experience you hope for when dining at a private Italian restaurant where the focus is clearly on great food and great hospitality.

To cap it all off, the post-meal limoncellos were excellent and the perfect finish to a memorable dinner.

If you enjoy Italian cuisine that’s both authentic and inventive, Giulia is an absolute must-visit.“

“We love Dear Annie! The wine selection is amazing, we’ve never had a bad bite or sip. Shoutout to the onion dip and potato chips that we get every time. We’ve even hosted a private event here (the dear Annie staff was amazing) - it was our favorite gathering to date“

“Everything 10/10. From start to finish — the food, hospitality, music, vibes. We sat at the bar with Renato who was just the best. We tried the meatballs, garlic bread (omg?), the pepperoni with pearl onions, roasted squash pizza and tiramisu — from start to finish everything was absolutely incredible. We are now garlic bread groupies and can’t wait to be back! 5🌟“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“Dined here a number of times - the sun-chokes are amazing and the bread is divine. The entrees are always thoughtful and plated. Make sure you get a desert - whatever it is, it tastes great. Always excellent service who are not robots but kind, attentive and knowledgable. Always a treat to go there!“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“The food is fantastic, and the service was fast and attentive. The pumpkin cappelletti is my favorite thing on the menu! The ricotta stuffed garlic bread was also amazing, great spot for a date or a nice dinner with friends. Our server Brian is a star 🌟 I am looking forward to dining here again soon.“

“Small beer selection, wine and a bar. But they were great, super friendly, and the food was good.“

“Fabulous like the sister one in south end“

“We had our wedding at Batifol, with ceremony next door at the bakery. It was literally the most amazing experience. The Batifol team was extremely responsive, organized, and executed everything perfectly. The food was amazing - all of our guests said their Salmon and steak were cooked perfectly! And they allowed dietary changes for guests with all different kinds of restrictions (vegan, gluten free allergies). 100% recommend any day of the week. I also love their brunch and dinner menus. And If you want to have an intimate event, their event coordinators are out of this world!!! Thank you all for making out day so perfect!“
