There are a lot of good Thai places in the area, this is probably the best. Have had a few lunches and dinners here and every time the food is fantastic. I don't get many different entrees but what I do get is always on point.

When you enter, the sound of laughter and smell of great home cooked food are immediately welcoming. The portions are large and the food could be described as an american version of italian, but no less delicious for it. Don't expect refined flavours or dishes, but if you are looking for a great night, in a very popular place, with tasty food you won't go far wrong with Espo's

Oh hell......how can I be subjective when I start a review with OMGGGGGG?????
Had lunch today at our fave little place in Somerville...decided to walk around to find some dessert, and came across this hidden little gem on Division street.
Where do I start???
1. Carol is the real- deal goddess of chocolate. Her knowledge...passion...and willingness to share both with us was reason alone to write this review. I learned more about chocolate in 45 minutes of sampling, tasting, and drinking her various goodies than I have all my life. If you read these, Carol, my family and I cant thank you enough!
2. The chocolate "crack" pops????? I dunno. I dont really have words to describe the combination of flavor profiles or textures, so I wont try except to say, I'll be back next weekend to buy more cause once just isnt enough!
3. Hot chocolate. Three words: Liquid-chocolate-insanity. In fact, Carol, you should just re-name your concoction now 'cause thats what Im calling it from now on!
If you are near Somerville...have a jones for chocolate...just go. Now.

It is simply my favorite bakery. They bake everything from scratch, on premises and use healthy natural ingredients. The cakes are delicious and could also be ordered for a special occasions that I've done a few times - they came out perfect. My kids love all their cookies and I love their cupcakes, apple pockets and macaroons.

In town to visit family, and happened upon Savor. Hubby had seafood pasta which was delicious, with house-made pasta and perfectly cooked seafood. I had flat iron steak special, and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Ask for Ronald. One of the best servers we’ve ever had. Service is attentive but not intrusive, and he took the time to learn our names, and shook our hands as we left. Highly recommended!

We celebrated a birthday here and I'm so glad we chose this restaurant to do so. Ambiance is very nice, especially in a quiet back room. We had gotten an email for a free flatbread appetizer, which we might not have ordered without the email - but it was absolutely delicious, light as a feather - tasty but not filling so that we had room for the entree! I had scallops and my companion had trout - both were perfectly cooked and scrumptious. Our server brought the desserts out so of course we had to try them. One was comped for the birthday, and had a candle, which was very nice. (What's great about the desserts is that they are small, and inexpensive, so you don't feel like you'e ordering a huge portion if you choose to get one.) Wine was very good, and our server was excellent. We will absolutely be back!

Finally tried this after trying their market a few times. This is the best seafood around. It is really really good. Prices are pretty reasonable considering it is seafood, just expect to pay. Not very big and gets super crowded, but there is a reason for the crowds. Had the lobster tail special. Was very good. The actual menu might be small, but they have a ton of specials every day.

The food is excellent. Worth 5stars.
The service superb.
The price reasonable and it is BYOB.
The atmosphere is a split rating both very good and in my judgement poor.
Outside seating
Inside ... Much too dark.
We shall return but only in the warm weather when we can sit outside.
10. Maggiano's - Bridgewater
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Arthur Y - New Jersey
Our family usually goes out after church service with friends for lunch and we suggested Maggiano's since we go there from time to time. Some friends have never been there. This Maggiano's is located at an entrance to the Bridgewater Commons Mall off Rte 22 and Rte 202 / 206. We were a large group but Andrew, one of the manager's made sure we had a table that we could all seat comfortably. Our attendant, Mahid was very helpful and always around when we needed something. The portions were all large and tasty, one person in our party has food allergies and the chef came out to discuss options. There's a separate Brunch menu on Sundays with different selections. BTW, our friends all enjoyed the atmosphere and their meals. One thing about Maggiano's - parking is limited due to the proximity of other shops and the mall.
