“Cute and cozy with something on the menu for everyone. restaurant was packed and seemed AC wasn't on , so on the warm side for temperature. Service seems rushed and smiles didn't come easy. My chicken piccata sauce was on the heavy side not light and clear like I'm used to but overall great flavor! Great neighborhood Gem!“

“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.“

“From the moment we walked in, we were treated as if we were sitting in first class. The staff was so attentive to our table even though they were very busy. We were not rushed and enjoyed every savory bit of food that was put before us. They also catered to me being a vegetarian. We finished our meal with the most delicious homemade gelato . if ever given the opportunity, please do not pass this gem of a restaurant up.“

“The food is amazing and it never disappoints. Love the atmosphere and coziness of this place.“

“When we decided to make a reservation here I was concerned because the parking situation in Madison is difficult. IlGoccino has parking in the rear of the restaurant so it was fine. The staff were warm and welcoming and they honored our reservation on arrival. The food was excellent - the salmon cooked to perfection and the chicken was tender and delicious as well. We certainly will return.“

“Consistently great food with weekly specials Tuesday - Thursday and Friday - Sunday. Very friendly staff. The owner Nick stops by the tables to ensure everything is to your satisfaction. He builds the menu himself - a graduate of Johnson & Wales.“

“What a find! We are local but this was our first time here. Been going to the nail salon near by for years and decided to try the restaurant with friends! It is now my favorite restaurant and not only near because it is near by.

Can't wait to go back and try more from the menus. The Supa de Pesce was spectacular. Fresh and delicious! Service was great as well! Can't wait to return and try some other items on the menu! As a pescatarian this may well be my new favorite restaurant and being local
Is a bonus!!!“

“I never write reviews, but this one is worth writing! Yesterday was my Dad's 97th birthday. I ordered food from Anthony for his party of 25-30 people. Best choice I ever made! Not only were Anthony and Donna so nice and accommodating, but the food was out of this world! I cannot recommend Anthony's food, and service, more highly. Thank you Anthony and Donna for making my Dad's birthday even more special.“

“Surprisingly great. Order from a selection of different cuisines for eat in or take out. I seriously questioned the quality of the food at ordering but it was all very decent for the price. The atmosphere is a little sterile with sparse seating and brightly lighting. But otherwise, I would highly recommend for quick food that is easy to pick up or eat in that is still open till 11pm.“

“Luna Rossa is an exceptional restaurant which is run by a loyal and dedicated team under the direction of Adrian. Our first time visiting this establishment was with a party of 10. Adrian took all of our orders including appetizers without writing anything down. The food was delivered to perfection. I am astounded by the diversity of the menu, the ability to switch out sides, the quality and taste of the food. The chefs are talented and cook to delight every palate. I can not say enough about this wonderful restaurant including their staff Carlos, Kevin, and everyone that works so hard to deliver memorable meals. I look forward to going back soon. Thank you!“

“Food is fresh and delicious! Hats off to the Chef! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“We were there for my daughters birthday this past Saturday. My wife and my daughter's boyfriend had the seared salmon which they loved. My daughter had the chicken parm, which she said was good. Her only "complaint" was that the sauce was a bit too sweet for her taste, but the portion was good and the chicken was cooked well. My son enjoyed his pepperoni pizza. He's not very adventerous. I had the Capellini Napoletani. It was very good. The capellini was cooked perfectly for my taste as was the shrimp, clams and calamari. Very tender. The sauce was great. This is our go-to for great food and is my wife's favorite. She is returning with coworkers for lunch on Tuesday. Service is top notch. Keep up the good work. We'll definately be returning.“

“Beautiful place with excellent food!“

“Staff is very welcoming & attentive. Food is amazing!“

“We've been ordering here for a while now. It's one of the better NY/NJ style pizzas in the area without being too specialized.Their pasta and meat menu items are where they are best - looking at you Chicken Puicinella and Cavatelli with Broccoli.For appetizers, they have great wings which are crispy, the way I like them. Also, the fried calamari uses a very light batter, so it's not too heavy.We've ordered trays from them twice for parties and we weren't disappointed in the quantity provided and they were affordable.“

“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!“

“Sapore Ravioli are legendary in the area. Accompanied by a variety of home made sauces, they are a treat.
Great sandwiches to be had here, making this a fantastic lunch spot.
Good assortment of Italian delicacies.
Worth a visit.“

“I chose cafe azzurro based on recommendations from others for a “celebration of life” luncheon and I am so glad I did. With 30+ people the restaurant was generous to give us our own room and the menu selections were delicious. The service as well was impeccable! 10/10 I will gladly return and encourage others to sample their excellent food and ambiance. Thank you from our whole family !“

“Pomodoros delivered excellent pizza from start to finish. The crust was perfectly baked with just the right balance of crisp and chew, the sauce was full of flavor, and the cheese was melted perfectly. The toppings were fresh and generously portioned, which made every slice satisfying. Whether it was catered or ordered for a group, the pizza stayed hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Every box was a hit, and there wasn’t a single slice left behind. You can tell Pomodoros takes real pride in the quality of their pizza. Highly recommend Pomodoros if you’re looking for consistently great pizza that pleases a crowd. I will definitely be ordering again!“

It’s going to be my new favorite spot.“

“Such a wonderful experience at Café Emilia! Delicious food, the most attentive service, so personable they make you feel like you’re family friends! Made my husband a custom ordered lasagna, I had the halibut special. Both were delicious. Thank you for such a memorable experience, we will see you again soon!“
