Neighborhood Restaurant

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.

The Neighborhood is probably the best value in town for breakfast - but like all places, you usually have to wait a bit in line. The wait is worth it. With all breakfasts you get a yummy bread plate for the table, full of wonderful muffins, breads and rolls. Plus they serve you great warm cereal, that is a secret recipe! (I'd kill for it!) Then whatever you order from the menu is fresh and delicious. The egg, bacon and toast combo is my favorite. In the warm weather you are seated outside under a grape vine arbor, and in the winter months you sit in a small and crowded dining room - but the food is so good it won't both you a bit!

PROS: inexpensive, great quality
CONS: long lines, crowded

The Neighborhood Restaurant is my favorite breakfast place in Somerville. The prices are very reasonable (downright cheap), especially considering the amount of food you get. No matter what you order, you'll get a choice of cream of wheat or fruit, a small glass of fresh orange juice, and a plate of home-baked breads / pastries. On nice days, you'll even be able to sit outside, under their living grape vines. On not as nice days, you'll sit elbow-to-elbow inside, but it's absolutely worth it.

PROS: inexpensive, great tasting
CONS: cramped if you sit indoors
