10. Out Of The Blue

Reviewed By Rebecca1921
Out of the Blue has been a fixture in Somerville for years, and it has maintained a loyal clientele thanks to the consistently good seafood, low-key unpretentious setting, and professional service. The menu is fairly traditional with grilled and fried options, as well as a number of Italian seafood-pasta dishes. In our most recent visit, we opted for grilled scallops and grilled swordfish. Both were served without elaborate sauces, just grilled to perfection, tender and medium-rare, as we had asked. We requested no salt, and we asked for olive oil instead of butter, and the staff were happy to oblige (a real plus, as we find many restaurants are not able to accommodate these requests). The wine list is unremarkable, and it is not uncommon for the restaurant to run out of bread (which seems odd but isn't a major drawback). The restaurant has a small bar, and the atmosphere is casual, inviting, and lively (but not too noisy). A great choice for seafood fans in the hip Davis Square neighborhood.

I liked everything about this place. It obtained local notariaty by boasting about serving Daveâs Fresh Pasta on the menu, but there is so much more to chose from including delicious soups, fresh salads, an array of appetizers & main courses. And, yes, even gourmet pizza & lighter fare. Patrons were of all ages and the noise level was manageable with a full house. Convenient location close to Tufts University campus with easy access to Somerville & Cambridge. Been there twice and everyone I was with said they wanted to return soon! Strongly suggest reservations. Parking on street with ease.

"Great Taste Since 1941" Whether beef or poultry, every offering (there's a wide array) is a hit. Every one! The prepared food (subs, sandwiches, etc.) is also excellent and the deli offers a solid variety of quality cuts.

I normally eat pizza multiple nights on trips. But diet has me cutting back. Lol. So I tried Regina the one time I had some. Parking was easy which isnât always true. And large dining room. Good service and plenty of choices. Pizza was decent. And had spinach artichoke dip to start. The chips were stale and didnât find any artichokes. But plenty of spinach. I would like to try again for sure .

Went here with some friends who knew it and were very impressed. My wife had an excellent butternut squash ravioli and I had the marinated steak tips. Both were excellent with enough left over for another meal the next day. Definitely would go back if in the area again.

Boticelliâs is our favorites to go to for delicious Italian food. It starts with the delicious marinated olives and fresh breadAn extensive menu with many specials- everything is fresh and delicious! You can ask for little changes( wine wine sauce or marinara instead of pesto, and it is never a problem. A great selection of wines and beers. Seafood is fresh and deliciousIt is a great little restaurant filled with families enjoying their meals ( downstairs is actually quite large. Parking can be tricky

We had a graduation- family gathering of 16 people at Real Gusto. All restaurant staff were incredibly helpful and accommodated all of our needs including opening a bit early for our party. The event planner was especially helpful. The food was outstanding!!!! And the waiters were so efficient. The restaurant itself is lovely, clean, bright. Wonderful atmosphere! It was perfect. Even though I am from western Massachusetts my husband and I will come back. The food was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table commented on how good, fresh and authentic it was.Thank you Real Gusto for helping to make our event so memorable!

Finally got a reservation. The question was: is it really the best restaurant in Cambridge? And the conclusion is: itâs a definite contender. It had a pleasant ambience and we enjoyed in particular that it has cloth covered benches and sound proofing. I had the boar tagliatelle and it was very good as was our dessert: an amaretto almond torte. Also they served a blue flower earl grey tea which I had never had before and really enjoyed

Not many people seem to stumble upon the quaint downtown of West Medford. It has one of everything you need... Post Office, church, pharmacy, pizza shop, local bar, and.... the gourmet Bistro 5! The food could stand up to competition in downtown Boston. Treat yourself to $1 oysters at the bar on Tuesdays. Menus change seasonally and feature fresh ingredients. It's worth one stop on the commuter rail (literally right across from the station) from North Station or a quick drive off 93!

We went for an early casual family dinner. Staff welcoming and very accommodating, with service excellent. Menu explained including what to expect with their pizza. We started with calamari which was perfectly fried, crisp and not greasy. The Margherita pizza and the prosciutto were excellent. But the best was the swordfish. Great atmosphere.
