12 Best Wine Bars in Cambridge

“Delicious desserts and a phenomenal wine selection set in a candle-lit, cozy bar — what more could you ask for!

The friendly staff, excellent records, and purple touches give the bar the coziest, "you're exactly where you're supposed to be" feeling.

The tiramisu with the nerocapitano can't be missed!“

“Love the vibe here! It’s a perfect place to hang in the mid-late afternoon and have a glass of wine before dinner. The staff is incredibly helpful to help you choose the right wine for you (and always give you a generous pour). I adore all of their flower arrangements on the communal table - unique, artsy, and just gorgeous. I also support the 23% service fee upfront, as 1 - it’s worth it and 2 - I prefer not to deal with bills or payments later on (which would be disruptive to the flow of the hangout).“

“Our favorite local Italian spot! Pastas and desserts are outstanding.

Dietary restrictions: They handle dietary restrictions very well! I have a tree nut allergy and was easily able to navigate the menu with little limitation. They do not have GF pasta FYI.“

“Best eggplant I’ve ever had. Thin, crispy. Loaded with mozzarella. Awesome homemade sauce. And the bread was delicious, too. Portion was extremely generous and less than $15! Cool little spot in Cambridge that I hope to go back to someday.“

“Great customer service, some of the best coffee, great waffle, will visit again!“

“Had an outstanding experience here! Our server was extremely friendly. He had great recommendations and did not steer us wrong once. The Antipasto Platter was great to share, as was the Tuna Carpaccio. It had such bright flavors and was truly amazing. For me the star of the show was the Spicy Lobster Rigatoni with vodka sauce. It had a subtle spice that complemented the flavor and I liked the dish more and more as I ate it and haven't stopped thinking about it. Other favorites at the table were the Porcini Lasagna and the Scallops Picatta. I highly highly recommend Geppetto!!“

“Good dining experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable service. My server replaced a dessert I didn't like with no change- which was very nice of her. Did the tasting menu which was nice. Next time I'll prob try the a la carte menu.

Parker House rolls:
Pillowy soft. Slightly sweet with a light dusting of salt on top. Butter was creamy and tasty too. 4/5

Potato pave
Like a giant French fry. Crispy outside nice and soft on inside. Topped with cavier and shallots which added a nice saltiness and savory flavor combo.

kampachi crudo-
Topped with basil, radishes, and cherry pepper drops
Good quality fish, slightly acidic flavor went well with the basil and radish. Cherry peppers added a light spice. Overall lacked flavor though 3.5/5

capitelli- topped with a Gremolata and capers, olive oil and eggplant
Very savory and well cooked. This was tasty 4.5/5

Pork loin with celery figs and peppers
Very tender and flavorful. Nice sauce with savoriness and a sweetest added by the figs 5/5

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

“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!“
