Italian | Somerville, Boston

Well crafted modern Italian, not in the Italian American Red Sauce idiom. Well chosen wine list, with special attention to Sicilian wines (where I think the current excitement is in Italian wines). Looking forward to next time. Keep an eye out for wine dinners. Upcoming late Sep 2018 Cusumano (Sicilian winery with wide range of wines) More

Amazing! Impeccable service by Antonio. Huevos rancheros, crispy Texas toast and habanero watermelon margaritas created a party in my mouth! If I were from Boston, this would def be my brunch spot. It’s no joke. More

Half Priced Small Plates

Came here with my girls' part of our girls' weekend. They have a 90s hip hop brunch every 1st Sunday of the month and found that to be a bit disappointing as it was just 90s tunes playing with no other themes adding to it (like hiphop themed drinks/food, outfits etc.). If they do ramp that up it would definitely be another star!. Other than that the service was great, albeit our food did take some time to come out, BUT when it did WOW WOW WOW so good! My Good Morning Pizza was so big that I had to take some with me even AFTER I shared with BOTH of my girls (they kindly provided a plastic bag for me to make a portable cooler- to keep it refrigerated until I got to a fridge- with the ice from the ice bucket that held our champagne for our mimosas, which were great too!) . The food I sampled off their plates, the S'mores French Toast and the Chicken and Waffle Sandwich were also heavenly! And the bill was not bad at all for ordering our food plus splitting a table mimosa (which came out to be about 2 mimosas per person for 3 people) - a little less than $30 per person. Overall if you could just be a little patient for the food , it's a great place to come and eat and drink while bopping to some 90s hiphop jams :) More

Japanese | Leather District, Boston

Exceptional food in an intimate, modern setting. My date and I ordered 16 dishes a la carte, which was definitely too much — 12-14 would probably have been plenty. Standouts were the Hamachi & banana pepper nigiri, hamachi tartare, and toro with Korean longpeppers and grapefruit ponzu. There were no bad dishes, but our least favorite were the Shima aji with penang curry and the wagyu tsukune. We were seated at the counter, and enjoyed watching the sushi chefs. We also appreciated o ya’s casual/ ‘come as you are’ dress code! Great experience for a special occasion. More
