Music Venue · Harvard Square · 22 tips and reviews
Christian Rodriguez: Great small, intimate music venue. Catch some local high quality, moderately priced shows with good food to boot.
The Feast: Legendary folk joint. A slightly older crowd holds court here most nights, but also expect to see plenty of music-nerds.
Secret Boston: Coolest music vibe in town, man. 60s

Italian Restaurant · 20 tips and reviews
Chrissy Boyles: always amazing food and wine - the mushroom pappardelle is absolutely velvety, but the again we’ve never had a bad meal here
Eric Andersen: The Pappardelle pasta here is excellent
Laura Wong: Very quaint and small restaurant, but very cozy. Reservations recommended, and they are not open on Sundays. Honestly nothing special or outstanding.

Arepa Restaurant · Harvard Square · 47 tips and reviews
Rob Atkinson: Great and reasonably priced. They don't take reservations. Split the arepas and a main dish
Peter Boyce: The back patio seats 30, perfect spot on a summer evening. And the owner Marta is truly a gem of a host.
Jorge Pilo: Actually very authentic Venezuelan food. Try the Tequenos, our national pride.

Italian Restaurant · Inman Square · 34 tips and reviews

Molly Simpson: Get the Rosemary lemonade
Jordan Sellers: Brunch! This goat cheese and caramelized onions (and of course bacon) sandwich is amazing.

Pizzeria · Kendall Square · 209 tips and reviews
Elena: Low key and delicious. The pretzel starter might be a beers best friend. The thin crispy crust on the pizza is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing on both the margarita and mushroom pizzas I tried.
Boston.com: Two restaurants in one, both tailor-made for Tech Square: an all-day bakery-cafe attached to a sparse, industrial dining room with two wood-fired ovens. Read more.
Bryan Yeager: It smells like a campfire, even when you sit outside. Great for Forrester-watching.
