Intimate setting, great cocktails, delicious food.

We hosted our wedding dinner and ceremony at Tallula. Danielle, Connor, and their team made everything easy.
They were able to take a credit card deposit over the phone. About 30 days before the event, we coordinated to finalize the menu and seating arrangements. They were able to make a few adjustments and special additions based off of our feedback.
The day of was easy! We dropped off a few items for the Tallula staff to set up and the day went off without a hitch. The food was well made, delicious and the servers were attentive but not disruptive.
Thank you!

After having Tallula on our list for the longest time, we finally made it—and on Valentine’s Day, no less. The perfect setting for a romantic night, with a menu that was as creative as it was sensual. Every dish was flawless, from the tender beef cheek with smoked carrots to the beautifully balanced hamachi crudo and two outstanding pasta dishes. The squid ink pasta, in particular, was one of the best I’ve ever had. Each bite was elevated by a thoughtful selection of unique, curated wines. Can’t wait to return for their regular menu! Lovely friendly staff!

This place is great! It’s easy to see why they got nominated for a James Beard award. The food is amazing! Great service. Great place to bring a date.

Really great neighborhood fine dining option. I like the atmosphere and care put in by the owner!

This is a great small place for delicious food, beautifully served. The emphasis is on quality, creative gourmet dishes, but not out of control. Portions are very reasonable. It’s not one of those places that produce exotic, show-off foam-food with little taste. Vegetable torte, soups, hamachi crudo, monkfish, cavatelli, campanelle are all superb. It’s unlike other Cambridge places on two counts: really friendly staff and no problem parking.

Loved all dishes except the risotto (more like grits) Overall very good flavors and service
They also apply a 23% admin fee to the final bill (no need to additionally tip) I do understand the philosophy however as the more affordable wine was no longer available the price of the wine went up and so did the admin fee and so did the tax……

I rented the restaurant for a small private dinner party (16) and highly recommend the experience. The ambience, food, drinks, wine, desserts and service were all fantastic. Zoe communicated well, working with me on details and could not have been more helpful and professional. There is a sweet little space for children to play when not at table, too!
Everything was delicious. Our favorite dish was the short rib campanelle - the sauce was delicious. We also had the papardelle and it was great just not as flavorful. The chicken was delicious too. Nice texture with the crispy skin and food sauce. What was a bit disappointing was the dessert we ordered the cide doughnuts and it had way too much sugar (a thick coat). The place is warm and cozy and the service is excellent.

I had a wonderful evening at this restaurant. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The cocktails we got were pretty good. The bread and celery dip, and farmer’s chicken dish were tasty. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant - its a cute little place. It was a bit dark though. Also, i personally didnt think the dessert was amazing. The cider donuts were dry and i didnt care for the sweet sauce it came with on the side. I also didnt like the molasses cake at all bit maybe thats just my personal taste. Another thing is that they forgot the focaccia that comes with the bread dish and we wouldve never gotten it if the kind young waiter didnt come check in. I would understand forgetting something during a rush but we were the first guests to arrive. But the experience was definitely better than most other restaurants ive been to in the area.

This is the third time I’ve been with my family and this restaurant never disappoints. Varying menus all fresh! Last night was the sweet potato soup, charred broccoli and chicken. Wonderful. We will be back again and again!
