Olivia's Kitchen

The food was incredible! Definitely getting food worth the cost. Service was great too; we were presented with a free sample that also was incredibly tasty. Very friendly waiters and a fine dining atmosphere.

This place just opened but it was fabulous and I want other people to patronize it! I went with friends and we all got pasta dishes. Mine was quite al dente (but I like it that way) and the flavors were great, and the others all liked theirs as well. It's a little pricier than other restaurants in Ball Square, so would be great for a date night. The ambiance is cozy, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. They also have a bar that I hope to visit once they get their liquor license (in process).

Outstanding food. The entire food is homemade with care and taste. Dishes are prepped at the last minute. This is real Italian cuisine as you would have in a good restaurant in in Italy. You will find real Italians traditional dishes. It is not a tourist place as you would have North end with the same dishes.

I've met Chef Simona at her culinary classes at Dante Aligheri Society and was super excited that she was opening her restaurant in Somerville. We visited on her opening night and even though it's her first weekend night, I couldn't ask for a better experience! We started with gorgeous appetizer of Carpacio, Truffle and Salted Cod. We had the tortellini and pasta with guanciale and pistachio (flavor combination that is out of this world). We had a pork wrapped in bacon for our second course and had Simona's unique take on tiramisu and Lavender flan for desserts. If you live in Somerville, PLEASE check this place out. You'll have a dinner you won't soon forget!

Amazing food and people. Chef Simona's cooking is incredible. We had a lovely dinner at Olivia's and would highly recommend giving it a try. We will be back soon!
