April 30, 2014 Patty Chen’s Dumpling Room

Patty Chen’s dumping room has taken over the space that was formerly Pu Pu Hot Pot (insert giggle here). Patty opened Pu Pu Hot Pot in 1993 with her parents, and she and her husband, Mark Shulman, re-branded to the dumpling room in 2013. The restaurant only has about 10 tables and a communal high […]

March 17, 2014 Koreana

It’s been a while since I’ve been here. We had bought a Living Social deal for Koreana and randomly decided to go in the middle of a snowstorm. While it’s usually packed in here, the snowstorm thinned out the crowd – score for us. We started with the edamame. Classic, steamed perfectly, each one has […]

January 8, 2014 Giulia

On the snowiest day of  winter thus far, a friend and I venture out to Giulia in Cambridge. Located between Harvard Square and Porter Square, it is the first restaurant of Michael Pagliarini, award-winning former chef of Via Matta, and his wife, Pamela Ralston. There is a warm welcoming feeling when we walk in, from […]

December 24, 2013 Formaggio Kitchen: Cheese 101

For the holidays, someone got us seats at Formaggio Kitchen’s Cheese 101 class. By far THE best present we received so far this season! I hadn’t been to Formaggio Kitchen in some time, but it didn’t take long for me to remember why I love it here! I could spend days browsing their specialty goods, […]

September 6, 2013 Puritan and Co.

Located in Inman Square, Puritan was top on my “to try” list. On street parking is available, and meters shut off after 6. Love the decor here. Things are simple and elegant. You may know the chef, Will Gilson, from Garden at the Cellar. We arrive early and sit at the bar for a drink. […]

July 1, 2013 Russell House Tavern

Located in Harvard Square, Russell House Tavern is a great upscale bar with a lot of tasty options. We grab a seat downstairs, the restaurant is much bigger than it looks on the outside. Service was pretty good, considering it was a packed on a Thursday night around 8. We start with the Fiore Di […]

June 21, 2013 Pinocchio’s

Who doesn’t love a little 2 for $5 action? And Sicilian to boot? Done! Date night in Cambridge at Pinocchio’s. Don’t try to park in the alley outside because the tow truck is lying in the shadows waiting for you to leave your car so he can tow your ass! Nothing fancy here, just tasty […]

June 1, 2013 Rehearsal Dinner at Dante

We opted to go to Dante in the Royal Sonesta for our rehearsal dinner. Dante is owned by Dante de Magistris. He and his brothers also own and operate il Casale in Belmont. Our options were the private room downstairs but there was  a food and beverage minimum, so we opted for the mezzanine, a […]
