Reviews for The Neighborhood Restaurant in Somerville, MA
The cream of wheat was delicious. The portions were large, so consider sharing. The fruit of the season isn't a regular fruit... bowl, but rather a poached apple which we weren't a big fan of. Wait times for seating were long, as was the wait for food, butdefinitely worth it. The outdoor patio is covered in grape vine, which you can enjoy. Very pretty esthetic and delicious food. Read more
This place is amazing! Got here at about 10:30AM on a Saturday and waited about 1 hour for a table - but well worth it and they... are super efficient with turning tables when busy. Service was wonderful, everyone kind and eager to help. Note: this place onlytakes cash, cash app or Venmo, but between the three of those it?s easy to pay! The cream of wheat is delicious, they dress itup in cinnamon. I got the sangria and corn beef Benedict - very much recommend! My partner got the pancakes and bacon - alsodelicious. The home fries are super yummy with onions and peppers in them, they?re kind of a mashed style. We can?t wait to comeback! Read more
I went here with friends last Sunday. We had a wonderful experience here. The service was great and the food was delicious ????.... The outdoor seating was canopied with overhanging grapevines. The atmosphere will make you feel like you are dining in a smalltown in Europe. They serve lunch and breakfast. I ordered the Porco Alentejana. The taste is phenomenal. The salt and garlicreally brings out the flavor of pork and clams is balanced perfectly with the acidity from the white wine. Highly recommend it!I would love to go back to try some of the other dishes. Read more
One of my favorite places to grab a steak and eggs brunch on lazy Sunday mornings. I always opt for the sirloin steak with ham... and eggs, and it has consistently been a satisfying and wholesome experience. The meal comes with crispy toasts and strawberryjam to start off with, and the chips, rice, and grilled veggies on the side are also excellent complements to the protein richmeal. The Portuguese influence in the dish is the most prominent in the veggies and its milky sauce which adds an interestingflair to the meal. I also love how they always include a surprise dessert like warm cinnamon apples and pies. Read more
Great tasting Portuguese food that feels home made. This place is great! They make their own bread and fruit jam. Delicious pear... dessert. Enjoyed the Portuguese style plate with shrimp/fish. They serve breakfast and lunch. Servers were friendly andwelcoming. Read more
Great value, hearty food that hits the spot. Love the quick service and fresh food. The portions are huge, lunch comes with... salad and dessert so save room! The cream of wheat is worth a try. The clams and pork has only 7 clams, I wish there?s an optionto pay to add more clams because they are very tasty. Pork chops were well seasoned and not overdone. I can see why this is aneighborhood favorite. Read more
This place is great! Friendly staff and ambiance, and great food. In the summer their outdoor patio is gorgeous, with grapevines... above you filtering the sunlight. But all year round, great food. Also, you must try their cream of wheat! It?s super tasty andwarming and creamy and slightly sweet, topped with cinnamon. We got their Portuguese breakfast (fun and definitely worthtrying! Comes with delicious breakfast hash, linguica, blood sausage, beef croquette, shrimp croquette, eggs and rice and beans?really delicious!). Their lamb chops were also delicious and cooked to a juicy perfection. It comes with a bread basket, whichhas delicious sweet cake-like bread along with some standard toast. Read more
Be prepared to wait if visiting on a weekend, but it is worth it. We waited over an hour on a Saturday morning at 11:30. The... cream of wheat is delicious. They have homemade maple syrup and French toast made from Portuguese sweet bread. The coffee isactually really good too. People are friendly and the outside patio is welcoming and I love the grape vines above. PRICING isnot expensive at all for what you get! Read more
