Restaurants in Somerville

“I called ahead and the hostesses helped me get my elderly Mom seated with zero wait. That meant a lot. The waiter was very attentive and the menu is second to none. I really appreciated the entire experience.”

“This is the perfect take out restaurant for a filling meal worth every penny!

The customer service is incredibly friendly and fast, but I was most pleased with the food. Oftentimes you don’t get enough food for your dollar, but at Mo Grill & Sweets you don’t have to worry about that. Not only are the portions generous but the food is very flavorful (but not overly spiced.)

I’d recommend checking them out if you are in the area looking for something quick, filling, and affordable on-the-go!”

“Don Oscar’s Cafe is not the usual coffee shop in town. Here, you can find authentic Costa Rican food, and a whole different variety of it too. Their staff are so welcoming, as soon as you walk through the door they receive you with a smile and are ready to take your order. The food is absolutely delicious, honestly, it’s the closest taste to Costa Rica in the state. The atmosphere is calm, not hectic, it’s somewhere you can go to just get away from work on your breaks. Make sure to try their pumpkin spice latte, they have it all year long and you can’t leave without trying their pastries. You will for sure find yourself going back for more.”

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.”

“Excellent food great service never disappoints highly recommend”

“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.”

“We ordered catering from @bombaycanteen and the food was authentic Mumbai taste. Must go place for mouthwatering Wada Pav, Paneer Methi Tikki, Ragda Pattice & much more. Would definitely recommend this place to any foodie lover like me…”

“They have great bloody Mary’s. Bloody Flight was a great choice to try all types they offer. Food was excellent and came out fast. Definitely recommend and will go back”

“Great drinks great food highly recommend”

“The staff was friendly and engaging. They went above and beyond to explain the foods and options because there are just so many! They have a loyalty program for returning customers, which I love. Then the food came out and I was blown away. For the price you pay, I think the quality is phenomenal! I had the Hippie Avo Toast, the staff member suggested adding an egg and it really hit the spot. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, and it's nice to know the business is conscious about the planet. I will definitely be returning here!!!!!”

“My family and I ate here for the first time on Sunday. Very good burgers. 3 different burgers and everyone's order came out correctly. The burgers were very juicy.”

“I often come here for their omakase for special occasions and wanted to reinforce my high opinion of Ai through reviews. However, I saw a few bad reviews and that broke my heart. Ai truly upholds the highest quality sushi. Some things to note: if you don't care all that much about quality of fish, don't go here, you'll just end up complaining that it's too expensive (its not at all for the quality) Additionally, note that this is a no frills omakase experience, don't expect some fancy up the butt service. If they forget to tell you what fish it is, just ask the waitress (I care more about the food than I do the service if you haven't figured) Though, I will say, all the times I've been there, the service has been great. For some background (and perhaps credibility on my taste) I'm an avid sushi enjoyer and by avid I mean I've tried my fair share of high end omakase experiences (Noz included). I've also been to Japan and tried the fresh sushi there. All that being said, trust me when I say this is THE best value omakase you'll find.”

“Best Thai place! The staff is wonderful too”

“Kyma is the reason we drive 30 minutes for amazing authentic Greek cuisine. Our appetizer/small plate of smoked eggplant dip & lamb empanada with herb mint sauce was a wonderful start. Sea bass in tomato broth with potatoes & Aegean shrimp dish were perfectly prepared. We had to have the baklava with vanilla ice cream (no pic as we attacked it!). The ambience, service and food made for a beautiful meal!”

“Ambee coffee is Warren is so amazing. The atmosphere is so chill & relaxing. The staff are so friendly & helpful when new customers have questions. The coffee is amazing as well as the dessert choices!!!!”

“Absolutely incredible! Delicious coffee, incredible pastries, everything was so fresh and well made. Everyone was so friendly with our son, even though he wasn’t on his best behavior ❤️Can’t wait to come back! I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat!!!”

“Absolutely in love with the taste of the fresh creamy delicious ice cream. The owner hit the jackpot with their staff, they all provide a perfect scoop and just the right amount. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a tasty treat.

Vegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian options

Dietary restrictions: Many non dary options

Kid-friendliness: The staff was so nice to my kids”

“Fantastic fresh juices and smoothies, made right in front of you! It’s awesome to have a place like this in Somerville, and the owner Dorcas was so friendly and helpful as well. The only slight downside for me was that the prices are a tad high for my liking, $6-$8 for most drinks, but it’s understandable given the product and location. They are also going to be opening a salad bar soon, and I am excited to continue to support Vita Centro in the future!”

“Decided to stop into this place while walking in town and WOW. I got the thanksgiving sandwich out of pure curiosity and will not hesitate to get it again, it’s a thanksgiving meal all in one bite! Will definitely be bringing family and friends to my new spot!”

“Amazing food and service.”

“We so enjoyed our experience. We had amazing cocktails and delicious food. The deviled eggs were delicious! Well everything was. Bartenders were so busy but never kept anyone waiting and were super friendly. Not to mention their mixology skills were on point!”

“Their food always amazing!!! Anytime I come here I make sure I try something new and it’s never a disappointment!!! Best in town!

Beef fajitas with corn tortillas and one of their special sandwich this week Chicken, mozz, arugula, red peppers and a basil pesto”

“อาหารอร่อยมาก จานใหญ่ บริการดีเยี่ยม”

“Great Subs and great service! Somerville, Support your local sub shop!”

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!”

“Amazing food and service.”

“stopped by with my daughter for her first Boba friendly staff and kind enough to explain. to her the options yummy tea very refreshing on a hot day. A nice casual place to go while walking around Somerville.”

“Just spent St. Patrick's Day here. Live music, step dancers, amazing bag pipes, incredible food and a great price. They really shamrocked it this year. Our waiter was outstanding too!”

“Prompt service and delicious food, and of course great Sangria.”

“I originally left a review on a different account but I no longer have access to that account so I can't really fix my review

Originally there was a fly problem but it seems to have been taken care of. I went back there a few days ago and the problem has been solved so it's a great place. No complaints this time. It's all great the owner reached out and replied to my review saying that the prom was fixed and it's true. It's great to see when a restaurant is able to take their criticism and improve that alone is enough for a five-star review”

“We absolutely love Prima! The staff and pizza are the best!”

“We hosted an event there, the service was amazing. The staff were attentive, helpful, and efficient. The food was delicious and our guests raved about it. Highly recommend hosting a private party there.”

“Great staff and great food.”

“The young man was an excellent example of great customer service. He spoke English, Italian, and Spanish. He explained how words are supposed to be pronounced in Italian. He let us sample a couple flavors. You could taste how fresh and natural the ingredients used are. The rice balls were cooked to perfection ?”

“We came at 6 p.m. ,put our name in and were told we had a 20 min. wait. After 20 min. I went to check and was told then that there were reservations ahead of us that had to be seated. If we had been told this we wouldn't have waited. We found this very rude and unprofessional and we will not be choosing sara janes again.”

“Entering the 1933 Room felt like stepping into a different world, with each cocktail telling its own story. The bartender’s confidence and expertise added to the unique atmosphere, making it a memorable experience for all”

“friendly and nice atmosphere”

“Love the staff here! They are great!!”

“we got two entrees and an app. the chips were forgotten and there was a wait but very understandable with being grand opening around dinner time hours. birria was phenomenal IMO. Queso was very smooth with a nice spice . the pineapple salsa was very tasty. a lot of promise with this company . would def order again”

“Great food friendly service”

“Great homie food. Yummy burgers! Highly recommended!”

“This is my family's top pick for pizza night! The pizza is aways great and they have it priced just right! If you're looking for more than just a quick bite Cafe Picasso's has been my all time favorite Italian restaurant for MANY years. Anything I order there is AMAZING and you leave with plenty of left overs for lunch the next day! They also have great specials during the week, we love going on Thurs nights for their date night special! ... and to top it off it's BYOB, you really can't get any better!! I've gladly referred many of my clients to these restaurants!”

“This is a must go restaurant!! The food is amazing🤩🤩As well as the service! The volume of the music isn’t loud as other Mexican restaurants and you can actually can chat with people at your table and enjoy the food…and I loved that! Highly recommended it👍👍.”

“The atmosphere and food was pretty good when I brought my friends out here to eat. I can say with certainty that it blew away my clothes like in the hit anime Shokugeki no Sōma!”
