The Scene
Tout Somerville is here--Tufts students and middle-aged couples, artists and accountants, and always a diversity of ethnic backgrounds. The hard-working staff knows at least half of any given crowd by name. Outdoor dining is available when the weather is nice.
The Food
Easily the finest Portuguese bread in the city accompanies almost anything you order, whether breakfast or dinner. Lunch is a wonderful crossover of both menus. The Portuguese sauteed pork with soup, rice, green beans and flan (comes with a half loaf of hot bread) is a savory and filling spread. Or go for a cheese and linguiça omelet with fried potatoes, juice and a fruit plate (accompanied by a platter with fresh croissant, buttered toast, cannoli and apple turnover). It's all terrific fare, and there's lots of it.

Great breakfast, plain and simple. I little tough to get it as it isn't too close to any t stops, but worth the long walk to short cab ride from Central Sq. The "Portugese Breakfast" was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try more items. Everything on the menu looked amazing. Also, looks to be a great spot in the summertime with lots of outside seating.

This place offers a great selection of Italian dishes. It is located close to Tufts and is easy to get to by foot or by car. The restaurant is relatively small but they do a great job of taking care of their customers within a relax climate that makes a small eatery feel like a classy sit-down restaurant.

I cannot stress how amazing the food is at the Neighborhood! We went on a rainy day and unfortunately had to sit inside, so the wait was longer than usual. I recommend that you shoot for a nice day and sit outside on the patio. Less of a wait and better ambiance! Despite our wait, we were so impressed by the friendly and accommodating service. There were several plates of food for each of us and everything was delicious! The pumpkin-cinamon pancakes are our new favorite in the area. Definitely check this place out and be sure to go on an empty stomach!
