Restaurants in Somerville

“Had an amazing experience at June Bug! The vibe of the location is cute and unique. The food was amazing we got the verde pizza and the pepperoni pizza both were cooked perfectly and the kitchen sink salad was addicting. I loved that they had NA drink options. The waitstaff was really kind and friendly. I said on the reservation that I have an egg allergy and the hostess handed me a menu when I got there that marked down which items had eggs and which were safe for me to eat. NEVER HAS THAT HAPPENED FOR ME. Omg I was so excited and relieved since I hate having to ask a million questions about what the menu items are so this was so sweet and I really appreciated it. I wished all restaurants did this, I def will return!”

“One of my all time favorite spots in Somerville never had a bad meal. Great vibe and service always suggests it as one of the top spots in Somerville.”

“The staff, service and food were all exceptional. The atmosphere is relaxing and the menu is very interesting, especially the cocktail menu. The presentation of the food is impeccable and the staff is very attentive, making sure the water is filled and that the check is ready when we were finished. A perfect balance and what every restaurant should strive to mimic. A must try if you want to find a place that is unique. Thanks to the staff for a fun evening.”

“classy drinks and awsome servers”

“Food and service are excellent!”

“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!”

“I can’t stop thinking about the egg cheddar I got. I eat eggs almost every day and this is one of the best egg and cheese sandwiches I’ve had. I love the spicy touch of the harissa, what a great addition.
Mocha was also good! Very cozy atmosphere”

“Fantastic focaccia. Like, REALLY good. The shop owner/baker Katherine is also super nice. When I went, there were multiple vegetarian options, and one vegan sandwich, which sounded great”

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.”

“Fantastic atmosphere, amazing food and superb service. Highly recommend!”

“Melissa brought me the vegan empanadas they had made with their collab with Impossible meat. And do you know how hard it was to not eat all 4 at once?! So flavorful and yummy! The ingredients were well distributed throughout, the dough was absolutely delicious and everything was perfectly cooked. Everything she does is amazing and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!”

“Awesome food!! Awesome people! ❤️❤️”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another 6 star business. I felt delighted they were just 2 minutes from my Airbnb .
Authentic French baking , great friendly staff who listened attentively my order and their coffee and baked goods are amazing .
Highly recommend if you’re nearby or want a real deal place 😋😋😋”

“Dylan made our experience so much fun!”

“A birthday meal that blew me AWAY”

“Top notch experience from the moment we entered the restaurant and were seated. Excellent service, beautiful decor, delicious food. Everything was perfect. I will return!”

“Hands down the best in Davis. Don't think twice about going to eat here! 10/10 atmosphere 10/10 staff 10/10 food 10/10 drinks Don't believe me? Go and see for yourselves! :)”

“Popular place that needs reservation in advance (likely because the shop is somewhat small). The staff was extremely friendly and kind, offering a sake drink as a start on the house. The golden dragon (?) flower sake was amazing.

However, the shop interior felt a bit decrepit - my stool was rocking back and forth. The egg noodles were well cooked but overall alright. $35 per person with appetizers.”

“Super great staff and very knowledgeable in their dishes! Mahalo!!”

“Maaaaaan, Pork Belly Burnt ends!!! That’s it…that’s the review!!! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥”

“We loved the food at Celeste, as we do that of La Royal as well. The causa with tuna tartare and mixed ceviche were both excellent, as was the special, seafood soup, more like a cioppino but with a lighter broth and Peruvian flavors. (Lots of bell peppers but you could probably ask for it without them if you wish. For me they were easy to pick out.) It took a while to order but then the food came fast. The cocktails are great and we are usually too full for dessert. Best to avoid the tables by the door on a cold night due to cold air coming in. Look forward to the new place in Boston, too, from the same owners!”

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Incredible place with incredible food and drinks! I love going to the original location in the North End, but this exceeded expectations. Luana, specially, was a fantastic server! Would highly recommend this location! Great food, drinks, and service!”

“This was our second time dining at Ebi Sushi, and just like our first visit, everything was fantastic. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared every time. Our server, Amanda, was wonderful friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It’s service like hers that really adds to the experience. Jose, the owner, has truly outdone himself with this place. You can tell he takes great pride in what he’s built from the quality of the dishes to the amazing team that brings it all together. We’ll definitely be back again before the new location opens, and we’re looking forward to visiting that one as well. Ebi Sushi has become one of our favorite date night spots consistently great food, great people, and a great vibe. 🍣❤️”

“Love the vibe! Great place to just get a drink, or eat to your heart's content. I have been holding Twisted Networking- Somerville, MA for a while in the side room- awesome! #askjo”

“Love assembly row…this is a fantastic, yummy and fun addition! Great ambiance… staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend! :)”

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!”

“Been coming here since the 70's . I know the father and Luis the son took over and it has stayed with the best ingredients and kind service as usual. It was always a family atmosphere!”

“This place was great!! Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere!”

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!”

“Best coffee and absolutely best service!! Always clean!”

“1pm Wed. Got a pretty good crew here right now. Customer service is good. Place is clean and has parking and plenty of seating. Even the customers seem nicer than your average McDonald's nowadays.
Wraps are a bit smaller than MCD but meat generally tastes better. Crew seems genuinely concerned about good service.”

“Great coffee. Delightful owners”

“This was my Daughter's birthday weekend and we wanted to Take her to one of the places that Guy Fieri Visited for DDD...making memories. What we got was so much more. Truthfully the Best dining experience we have EVER experienced. The hostess was super friendly and immediately made accommodations due to the fact that I am currently in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was astonishing!!! The food...we truly cannot say enough good things about an are planning when to take the trip from Vermont again to get more. We were blown away . However the highlight of our evening hands down was our Server Kevin!!! He made my Daughter's night ...focused on making her smile and gave her a piece of cheesecake to celebrate. We will remember this forever and simply cannot thank you enough”

“No lie, this might have been the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had! The flavors very outrageous. The egg was a perfect over medium and perfectly melted cheese. Trust me…you want to make the journey!!!”

“Got recommended a flat white after drinking cappuccinos for the last 5 years, and haven’t gone back - thank you, knowledgeable baristas :) Best local coffee shop there is.”

“Best Thai food in Somerille. Recommend Khao Soi the best”

“For years, I breezed past this spot, assuming it was just and old convenience store. Little did I know, I was missing out on some good sandwich deals. A few months back, I discovered they were slinging subs, so I stopped by a couple times to grab some cold subs.

P&K has been a neighborhood fixture for over seven decades, and you can feel that old-school charm the moment you meet the owner. He’s the kind of guy who’s always friendly and never skimps on the toppings—generosity is clearly baked into the business. While the sandwiches aren’t quite the size of Al’s famous subs, they still pack great value, and honestly, they’re hefty enough that I rarely manage to finish one for breakfast. My favorites so far were the seafood salad and the classic Italian sandwich.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for no-frills, classic Italian subs. Just keep in mind that the hot subs aren’t usually available until after 10am.”

“The energy of this space is as loving and chic as Somerville itself; looking forward to becoming a regular!”

“the Opa Greek yeeros the best In Boston and the deserts are delicious and after all this frappe cafe my perfect diner .”

“I made a custom order for my anniversary with my wife. Lavender honey is flavorful and yet not too sweet. Tamy is friendly and makes the ordering process so easy!”

“First time coming here and had some absolutely wonderful food!

From the appetizers to the entrees, everything was perfect. And the service was great, very kind and welcoming!

Will definitely be back!”

“Outstanding Indian food, we are so lucky to have Masala in Union Square.”

“First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.”

“Phenomenal as always! The new McLustin sandwich was awesome- spicy siracha ketchup added the perfect kick to the bacon, over easy egg, and hasbrowns! Always a treat to order from Mike and Patty’s!”

“This place is so good. Glad it's lasted through the peak poke fad, and I hope they stay for good. Everything is fresh and tasty, and the people are so nice.”

“First time in Nee England and my buddy joined a bowling league. So I told him lets go and I’ll just chill at the bar. This place is awesome! Great flatbread, great beer and great service! If I’m ever up this way again I’m for sure making a stop here.”

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!”

“Hands down best bar in Boston. It's this generation version of cheers. Amazing to watch any game in and if you're not a Pat's even better. Although I miss the OG huevos rancheros the food is always on point and I've never had a bad meal there. I bike from beacon Hill where I'm surrounded by bars but theres only one I'd go out of my way to catch a game or grab brunch. It's parlor sports. I'll fight anyone that says otherwise to the above.”

“One of the last true local venues in the Boston area. A Real club for real musicians to lay a solid foundation to create original music, build a fanbase and collaborate with peers.”

“This was the best night out I’ve had with my husband in a long time. The food was spectacular- I suggest the mezze platter so you can try everything, and of course the koshari. The mushroom fritters they had as a special were divine. The atmosphere and quality of service were top-notch and we will absolutely be coming here regularly.”

“Simple counter restaurant with amazingly friendly service. Very affordable. Huge portions and flavor for days. First time and I forgot to take a photo bc I was too busy eating. I’ll be back.”

“This food was simply mind blowing. Some of the best food I've had anywhere. Can't say enough. Had a chicken bowl and shared beef arepas. Wow. Worth a trip from anywhere.”

“Terrific restaurant in Union Square, finally! The best, imho. Great food and service, reasonably priced in a comfortable environment. You can't go wrong here.”

“I can taste the coconut over, definelity no the Uber... Is creamy and soft... Customer service is ok they could be better... Coconut Uber cake! Was better than I expected.”

“I love When Pigs Fly bread! My favs are the Oat and Honey, 6 Grain and Pumpkin Seed, and basically any of the sweet breads! The English Muffin loaf is good too.

The staff are all super kind and helpful. I saw some negative reviews on here that find fault with the service, and to them I say: hello? Are you okay? If you can’t get through a bread order (which should be a simple, short interaction I’d say??) without beefing with a staff member, I invite you to consider that *you* might be the problem. :)”

“Definitely some of the freshest and tastiest seafood and innovative sushi and asian food I've had in a while, very fresh and tasty!”

“I love that they have a combo option where you can get Jjajangmyun & Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour fried pork), and the Tangsuyuk was on point. Very crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Jjambbong was also pretty good and the bowl is really huge. The price is really good compared to the amount of food they give you, and the combo comes at the perfect portion for one person (although it was enough for me to share as well). The Jjajangmyun was good but could use more flavor. Overall, I loved this place and would definitely go again.

Note: you need to ask for a parking permit paper (which the workers will give to you if you ask) to park at the lot behind the restaurant.”

“The food was delightful. I love the honey available on all the different items to give a sweet kick to a savory dinner. I ordered the falafel pita which is a solid amount of food. I wish the default was more veggie forward with cucumbers rather then having to add it on. Overall, great vibe and service. Would go again”

“Not sure if the opinion of a very pasty Mainer counts for much;but the tacos and guacamole were the best we have ever had! Food was great and the service was phenomenal! We had the sweetest waitress! Will be back as soon as possible! ❤️❤️”

“I finally made it to Juliet in Union Square, Somerville — and it was such a treat. The atmosphere is playful and welcoming, and the food is fresh, beautifully presented, and unlike anything else I’ve tried in the Boston area. My favorites were the salmon entrée and the gazpacho. I’ll definitely be back soon to explore more of the menu!”

“Loved the food. Yummy! Only criticism is the $9 spring roll appetizer I ordered — while very tasty was way too thin. For the quantity it should have been priced at around $6 but hey isn’t everything overpriced in Boston? The chicken bowl was just right.”

“Awesome food and the staff is friendly. Also the hometown Cafe atmosphere is great.”

“Wow! The Grapao is soooo good—this place is the jackpot. Five stars all the way”

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.”

“Best strawberry matcha I’ve ever had in my life, the place is lovely and the workers are amazing. I’ve been there couple of times and Billy and Esther are always the best!! I’m going back for sure❤️❤️”

“Stopped for an early dinner on a Friday night, and built my own bowl. The salmon and tuna were very fresh and tasty. The toppings were generous and great quality. Portions were generous. Service was friendly and helpful. Very good experience overall. Would definitely come back again.”

“bought some fudge. haven't tried it yet though. msg me if you want”

“พอดีซื้อมาลอง 1 กล่องเป็นข้าวมันไก่ผสม อร่อยมาก เหมือนที่เมืองไทยเลย รอไม่นาน 10/10 It is a scrumptious meal for my alone dinner. The taste is original and the portion stuffed me perfectly.”

“First time at Hot Tomatoes and we were blown away! The owner and Victoria made us feel right at home—so friendly and welcoming. The service was amazing, and the pizza was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Felicitaciones por el servicio!”

“Picked up some excellent (very reasonably priced) Portuguese bread loaf earlier today.

Will drop by for some additional breads to take away tomorrow too.

Good service!

Curiously, was told not to take pictures inside the store, even when I mentioned that I will pit up a Google review - of their excellent breads. My son in law, who had accompanied me shared a couple he had taken inside the establishment

Obrigada!! For the excellent breads.”

“Highly recommend stopping by Wicked Cafe in Somerville! Coffee ☕️, tea 🫖 , food 🍲 and hospitality are top notch! Mike was fantastic! 🤩👍🏽”

“You MUST take a class with Jason. He’s the best, down-to-earth guy who makes sure everyone has a great time (with plenty of wine) while he teaches you how to make an amazing meal.”

“Stayed in the holiday inn for two nights, saw this place on our first night and thought would give it a go. One of the best decisions ever, pizza the first night, it was everything we hoped it would be! Very tasty! On our second day after a full day walking around Boston, we again took ourselves to this little eatery. Husband tried the beef tips and I had a chicken salad. Honestly nothing seems to much trouble for this place, if you are near give them a go.”

“Ok I’ve never had the actual Ice cream. I live in TX 😞 But I just just received my Gracie’s Ice Cream Weather sweatshirt and it’s the best fitting, most soft sweatshirt ever. *socks on the floor not included 10 stars ⭐️ !!”

“I used to live in the area almost 18 years ago. Farouk, the owner greeted me by name and a hug. If you go, you will feel welcomed and the food is always delicious. You can't go wrong with the Rustica Special.”

“Wonderful food as always. Very authentic and always the best! Thank you Tu y Yo!”

“loved my first experience, was greeted by the owner, the staff was amazing with helping me pick a certain bowl and was a cool place to sit enough the AC, fresh food and music being played while I enjoyed my lunch hour break”

“Excellent experience. The food and service was great. I will definitely recommend Premiere to my friends”

“Best Thai food in Somerille. Recommend Khao Soi the best”

“Great coffee. Delightful owners”

“Utterly delicious! Got a spicy beef bowl and it fixed me. I was meeting some friends and didn't have time to research any gluten free options in the area. Took a chance on this place and the hostess was very considerate of my dietary needs. Will definitely order again in the future!”

“We had a party of 5 and the evening went wonderfully. The dinners were delicious, the drinks excellent, and the service by Brian was outstanding. We will be back.”

“Me and my coworker Gen had a wonderful experience at Salt + Stone! I highly recommend Sebastian he was so attentive and kind during our service!!!! What an amazing experience. We’ll be back 🫶🏻”

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.”

“Wonderful experience on Saturday night with Jessica. She was so friendly and helpful. The food was awesome. Our runner was very friendly too. Everything was just perfect. I usually don't get a coursed/set menu but they had a wonderful option with add ons/upgrades that made it so much fun to splurge. Can't say enough good things about the staff and food. Too bad going out isn't what it used to be in terms of the clientele wearing decent clothes. I'm old school ... no baseball hats or sweatshirts at the table. Have some manners and pride.”

“Excellent ambience and the table was prepared nicely to accommodate and engage the kids. Main Lobster meal was excellent. However their signature lobster roll was a disappointment. When we escalated it, explanation was that it was prepared earlier today and that may be the reason. Except the lobster roll and the response, every was outstanding.”

“MUITO BOA COMIDA CHURRASCO TOP,ÓTIMO ATENDIMENTO SUPER RECOMENDO.”

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.”

“Inexpensive, quick slice in Sommerville. Satisfys the pizza craving before a concert! Quirky decor, including a shuffleboard table to play with while you wait! Enjoy!”

“Great place. Food is great and family owned! 👏👍”

“Buen servicio y ambiente 👍👍👍”

“Good location in Davis Square”

“the Opa Greek yeeros the best In Boston and the deserts are delicious and after all this frappe cafe my perfect diner .”

“Our 1st dining here, we had chicken quarters & chicken wrap with mile spiciest. We both enjoyed them & definitely will be back. We took other reviewer suggestion to try mild & you can always add more hot sauce.”

“The staff, service and food were all exceptional. The atmosphere is relaxing and the menu is very interesting, especially the cocktail menu. The presentation of the food is impeccable and the staff is very attentive, making sure the water is filled and that the check is ready when we were finished. A perfect balance and what every restaurant should strive to mimic. A must try if you want to find a place that is unique. Thanks to the staff for a fun evening.”

“Thank you to Chef Jon for allowing us to pick up a package of frozen dumplings during our visit to Artifact on Memorial Day. Cooked them up tonight and they were delicious, as was the edamame salad!!”

“Amazing gluten free options and knowledgeable servers! Dedicated fryer so I could enjoy the French fries and fried chicken sandwich (on a gf bun) without worry of cross contamination. Can’t wait to go back!”

“I got the ube coffee and it was delicious! Would definitely recommend checking this place out. I wish it was open later! Want to go back to try more drinks + food ☺️”

“I got the crispy pork belly noodle bowl. The food was ready within minutes and the bowl was super filling. The texture of the pork was perfect - super juicy with a very consistent crispy top.”

“BEST fried chicken ever!! so so excited for this necessary addition to the neighbourhood run by such incredible people! really delicious drinks at the bar too; i already know having this nearby is gonna be such a crazy financial liability for me lol”

“I stopped by today for a quick pick-me-up, and this place absolutely delivered. My smoothie was incredibly fresh—packed with bright, natural flavors instead of that artificial sweetness you get at other spots. The blend was perfectly smooth, not icy or gritty, and you could actually taste each fruit without one overpowering the rest.
The staff was upbeat and welcoming, and my order came out fast even though they were busy. The shop itself had a clean, laid-back vibe that made it feel like a tiny getaway in the middle of the day.
Overall, a great spot if you’re craving something refreshing, flavorful, and genuinely made with care. Definitely coming back to try more flavors!”

“Great prices for beer and food - it’s so refreshing to see! A plate of nachos absolutely stacked to the brim for $10, I couldn’t believe it! Pint from as cheap as $4. Incredible. Looking forward to being a regular here”

“Food taste really good especially Pad Thai and drunken noodles. Mango sticky rice and Thai iced tea is also recommended! Great staff services. Absolutely authentic Thai!”

“The Korean twice-fried chicken is a great deal. For $8.25 I got 4 gigantic pieces of boneless chicken. They are really tenders and not normal boneless wings sized pieces. They are very crunchy. The soy garlic sauce doesn’t seem to stick as much as the one at Crave.

I was impressed with their presentation for the seaweed salad. It justified more the slightly high $8.50.

Minus one star because the omelette nigiri was not good.

Service is laid back helpful. This time the employee pointed me to the ordering screen to see pictures of everything.”

“No corners cut here. Top-of-the-line ingredient makes for the best food to eat there is no comparison.”
