- AAlexandraVIPGreater Boston •11 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI went to Josephine for a girls’ night and it was perfect! Cute space, not too loud, attentive server, delicious food, and great portions. We absolutely loved the rigatoni, spaghetti (with Fresno chiles, olive oil, etc.), fried artichoke hearts, and mozzarella sticks!More infoJosephinePrice: Moderate• Italian• Somerville•4.6
- JJenniferVIPGreater Boston •1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoWe waited a long time for this reservation and were not disappointed -- the food was delicious and for the most part we loved it. Still, the fish wrapped in grape leaves was a whole fish with a lot of tiny bones -- while delicious, we found it hard to navigate in the dark and a warning would have helped us order something else. The rice pudding also had lovely flavors and details, but the rice itself was cold and waxy. In all, while we had a really lovely night, part of the beauty of Mediterranean food is its affordability. We loved the restaurant, but the food felt overpriced.More infoKrasiPrice: Expensive• Greek• Back Bay•4.9

Discover Somerville
Somerville isn't just the forgotten sibling of Boston dining; it's now a hot spot for great food in its own right. From traditional diners to innovative Thai restaurants along Union Square, there's something for everyone. You'll find hearty, comforting clam chowder, meaty Boston baked beans, and succulent lobster rolls at diners and restaurants across the squares of the town. Best of all, it's just a Red Line trip away from the center of Boston. Once you're done eating authentic Somerville cuisine, why not top it all off with some Boston cream pie, which was invented in 1856 at what was then known as Boston's Parker House? If you'd rather stick around Somerville, pay a visit to one of the many bakeries that offer it.
