Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Neighborhood Nine, Cambridge

Aleksander M. • August 23, 2016Classic with tomato is amazing. They have long lines and run out quickly, so come early and don't plan on getting a table.

Ana R. • April 8, 2017There are so many different unique flavors!! I tied honey lavender and bay leaf... very yummy!!

hugo l. • February 28, 2013The pasta with oxtail braised for four hours in red wine was excellent, but it's hard to go wrong here.

Michal P. • August 6, 2021What an amazing bakery. Loved their pastries and cortado. The pistachio rosewater and chocolate croissant stood out. So sos good. Very nice outdoor seating. Will defiantly be back to try more.

Chase M. • September 1, 2011Their homemade bagels and lentil soup will overcome any dismal, rainy Boston day. Their espresso is excellent, provided you ask for enough espresso--their lattes can be watery.

lindsey • April 16, 2010strawberry flavor with mochi and mango is really good. locally made mochi!

Kevin K. • July 11, 2023Everything I’ve had here has been delicious. Some standouts include the scallop ceviche, rice and duck, and polenta with sirloin. Street parking can be a pain sometimes. Make a reservation

Stanley C. • September 24, 2013Their new small plates rock! Pot stickers, Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, fried calamari, Shrimp and Chive Crispy Dumplings are delicious!

Anonymous, s. • June 19, 2020Real Italian food (ie no watery “pasta meatballs” and “pasta Alfredo”), appropriately priced, good-sized portions, and fantastic outdoor space. A must for those who appreciate Italian cuisine.
