    Alden and Harlow is an amazing place with uniquely styled food and ambience at Harvard Square. It is one of my favorite restaurants in the metropolitan Boston area and I love coming here to eat anytime I am in Cambridge. The ‘secret burger’ is my favorite but there are so many great options. All delicious!

    Amazing restaurant on the third floor above the Eataly marketplace, which is equally amazing. Everything we had was made from simple and fresh ingredients in a way that flavors were complex and unique. Food was cooked over an open wood burning flame as well. Our server, Edgar, was professional and attentive; he gave us excellent service! Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Boston. Bonus: shopping downstairs in the market where they have fresh pasta, aged meats, seafood, produce, and imported goods from Italy!
