There aren't that many really good Italian places in Cambridge. The first one that comes to mind is Marino's on Mass. Ave., a little pricey, but delicious. Their attention to detail and freshness (Lookout Farm is owned by them and supplies the restaurant with produce) distinguishes it. On Huron Ave., Pulcinella's has received good reviews, but they don't take credit cards. Groceria in Central Square is, in my opinion, pricey and overrated. For great food and a relaxed cafe atmosphere for your family get together, you can't go wrong with Daddy'Os Bohemian Cafe on Hampshire St. Brian B. wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > Could anyone recommend a good restaurant in Cambridge for a family get together?

Brian, A few places that are cheap and big hit: 1 Dali's (on 415 Washington at Beacon in Cambridge) - Spanish Tapas -- admittedly not Italian, but very fun and festive 2. Casa Portugal - 1200 Cambridge St. in East Cambridge - Port. food Don't know any Italian that are great in the area -- but I just moved from the North End, where I would go to either Lo Conte's or L'Osteria Good luck!
