    Mushroom and red pepper flatbread
    Masmin P.

    Celebrated a joint sweet 16 birthday here, the kids had a lot of fun candlepin bowling. Food was delicious. Interesting that the flatbread is sliced rectangular instead of in wedges but didn't bother me. Crust isn't super crispy and slices are floppy so easier to cut with fork and knife on a plate vs holding by hand. But 'most important- delicious! Wish there were more appetizer options on the menu. Service was great, our server took great care of us given we were a big group. I like the space- great for parties.

    Love the vibe and food from this place! Needless to say, their pizzas are supreme! It's also one of the few places that have bowling allies right next to wood-fire pizza place! They have great selection of desserts and beers as well, perfect place for a date night!

    Pepperoni & mushroom

    So my first time here was back in 2021 and I just noticed I didn't write a review! Let's see how much I remember.. We came here in the summertime of 2021 and sat outside. We ordered the Pepperoni & Mushroom and a half Flyin Hawaiian with pork and half of... to be honest I can't remember the name but it was a Korean influenced pizza with steak and a gochujang-aioli sauce, it was honestly the best of the 3 flavors. Maybe it was a Carne Special at the time. We also ordered a house salad and the house dressing for the salad was so good I asked if I could carry the rest home since we ordered it on the side. -------- We came back here again this past weekend with some friends visiting from out of state and we were planning to do some bowling. There were no lanes open yet so we got a table to sit, eat, drink and chat a bit till a lane opened up. We ordered the Flyin Hawaiian again but with chicken this time and tried the Carne Special which was a burger-style pizza. Both were good, the carne special was a little too heavy on the sauce topping. Where we sat had a view of the staff making the pizzas which was fun to watch.

    Reasons to love Flatbread: - Dedication to a mission of good food - Dedication to helping the community - my non-profit had a fundraiser here and everyone on staff was so supportive, and all the patrons were so kind and participated in our raffle - Damn good pizza - I recommend the buffalo cauliflower special - A really nice bar to sit at - you can watch tv or watch people bowl, great for dates or just chilling alone or with friends - Whoopie pies - Bowling - Cozy and themed space that yet somehow still feels airy and unstuffy - Really friendly staff people who seem to enjoy their jobs Honestly, the only cons against this place are that parking in Davis is annoying (though there's a lot next door if you're early enough to get a spot), and you're a bit out of luck if you don't want pizza or salad. But go into your dinner knowing those factors, and you will definitely walk away satisfied.

    We had the veggie special. I asked for it to be the vegan option (dairy free) because I forgot my lactaid at home! Luckily they had this option. This is the best pizza texture I've tried in Davis Square. Its thin, crusty, and not dry - you can eat the crust without feeling all thirsty. For a full veggie/vegan option, this tasted better than I expected. It's hard to find a pizza that won't ruin my stomach, but still taste good. The apple sauce was drizzled on top and gave a light sweet taste. It is packed on a Friday night. Make sure you plan ahead if you're making your way here from afar. We couldn't get any bowling lane for two and was told its usually reserved on weekend nights by guests of 8+ people. We will probably come back on a weekday. But although it was packed, it serves the perfect ambiance we were looking for a lively yet chill Friday evening.

    American Flatbreads is a comfortable restaurant, bar, and bowling alley. I personally eat the salad every time I go because of the quality farm to table greens it has with a tasty dressing and even like the seaweed. I often get the farm fresh cheese on the salad. The cocktails always outstanding recipes. The beer collection are always local source and the best of the best. My wife like the wine selection too. The pizza are also the best, you can find something for everybody, even vegan. The meats on the pizza are often freshly roasted or pulled chicken/pork. Not your ordinary rare much better.

    American Flatbread gets points for the cool aesthetic and points off for the candle pins bowling and style of pizza. The bowling at American is not your typical bowling. They use smaller balls, maybe weighing five pounds and the size of grapefruits. It sort of makes the game harder because the ball is the width of a single pin and therefore usually can't have the strikes you get with normal bowling. You do get three tries instead of two for each round. The aesthetic is great, I'll give it that. This would probably be a great place to sit in and have a beer. But a pizza? I was not a fan of the pizza. I'm not sure what my group ordered, but it must have been the Buffalo Chicken because there was celery on the pizza. Who puts celery on pizza? Also, it didn't taste at all like Buffalo Chicken, or even good at all. I would not come here for the pizza/flatbread. All in all, I'd come here if I wasn't actually serious about bowling - maybe if I had small children who'd have an easier time tossing the smaller bowling balls and wouldn't mind not hitting any pins. Or perhaps if I came here for the drinks and not the food.

    I was introduced to this spot by a friend who lives nearby and I wish I knew about it earlier! The environment is very family friendly, relaxing, and homey. You can see the pizza being baked in the open oven, which is always a fun little thing to have. I'm very picky with my pizza crusts and I loved the ones here. It was thin, crispy and didn't fall apart or droop from the toppings. We got the half and half of two of their current specials (the names of the specials is escaping me but I have a photo) and they were both great. Packed with flavors that worked very well together. On top of the food, the workers were really friendly and kind. I'm excited to come back and try the other flatbreads!

This is due partly to another party ahead of us not leaving promptly, but I think the restaurant could have been ready ahead of us as well. I will admit that I enjoyed the ambiance - it had nice low lighting with contemporary decor which made a nice dinner spot. The service in terms of both the waiters and kitchen did not feel timely either. It took a while for drinks to arrive and there were barely any water refills in general. We ordered four different dishes on our side of the table and they were somewhat bland. The vegetable momos definitely need some kind of sauce since they were lacking in flavor. We also got a curry chicken thigh, beef noodles, and butter tofu. I think only the beef noodles had a good enough flavor profile and kick to them. I was also surprised that the portion sizes weren't close to what you would expect for the price. I think with so many good south Asian spots in the area, it's hard to recommend Martsa. I might consider coming back if I learn that there is a particular dish that I am missing out on.

    Good service here, ambience is decent and food is tasty but overall 3.5 stars overall.read more

Recently, we had the pleasure of visiting Gustazo Cuban Kitchen in Cambridge for the first time, and it was an exceptional experience. Our server, Sandeep, was delightful and provided excellent suggestions and recommendations. We began with three small plates: Croquetas de Jamón, Garbanzos con Espinaca (a Spanish-style dish with chickpeas and spinach in a smoky almond sofrito), and Tortilla Española (a traditional Spanish egg frittata with layered potatoes and caramelized onions). Each dish was incredibly delicious. We also sampled the Congrí Rice & Beans to see if it would be suitable for our holiday catering needs, and it exceeded our expectations. For our main course, we enjoyed the Ropa Vieja, served traditionally with white rice, black beans, and maduros. We ended with a delicious flan to share. Having dined at many Cuban and Spanish restaurants in Massachusetts, we can confidently say that Gustazo is the most authentic Cuban restaurant we've experienced. The flavors were truly delightful.

This is a pub-type atmosphere with a full-service, large bar serving cocktail specials and a gazillion draft beer options. There is a street-side patio if you wish to watch the people and cars at Davis Square. Five Horses serves American comfort food, and they do a pretty good job serving up their offerings. I ordered the steak tips, and they were OK. They were served Med/rare, as ordered, but they did need a bit more seasoning. Plus one ordered a steak salad, and it was OK. They were pretty frugal with the protein, and it came with an abundance of tomatoes. Another guest split a cobb salad it arrived without some ingredients, like bacon. Other diners stated that their dinners were excellent, so 4 stars seems about right. Even though they were very busy, our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. If I lived here, this would be in my rotation for a brew or two, catch a game, and enjoy a burger.

    I try not to post negative reviews but I do not recommend the flank steak. I saw it (flank steak,…read morechimmichurri sauce, mashed potatoes, and broccoli) at $29 and said I haven't ordered a steak in while, let's treat myself. Boy was I disappointed, it was literally four tiny slices of beef, about a ladle and a half of mashed potatoes (flavor was great but the texture was dry and it was hard to swallow), and the broccoli was broccoli. The steak was cooked to my liking (rare) but it was room temp and I would describe that serving size as maybe the equivalent of a medallion. Everything else our table ordered (pizza, shepherd's pie, and a burger) looked great but the flank steak is not it y'all. However the service was top notch and will definitely go back, just won't order the flank steak next time!
