    Carbonara
    Colleen C.

    never disappoints! I keep coming back! New menu item added here - the Carbonara with truffle. Really delicious. not a classic Carbonara but no complaints. not "too" truffley and very rich and creamy. Chittara is amazing every time (I wished I got a little more cheese though)! Service is good, perfect wine recommendations. The vibe was quiet and lowkey on a Tuesday night.

    Caciocavallo pizza
    Annie G.

    Ordered delivery caciocavallo pizza, and was pretty good! The tomato was perfectly juicy, the meat was flavorful, and the dough was chewy as I wanted. I'd say this is close-to-original Neapolitan pizza. Both in terms of appearance and flavor.

    monkfish pasta, margarita pizza

    The patio is pleasant, except that we got distracted by a report of other diners spotting a rat running around outside. We didn't see it ourselves, so we can't verify the report. However, it spooked us enough to skip ordering dessert. My monkfish pasta was bland. It might have benefited from the addition of grated cheese, but none was offered. The dressing on the salad with grapes was a little acidic for my taste, but hubby liked it. He also liked his margarita pizza. Our friends liked their fish, so I would try the salmon or swordfish if I came again. The service was not attentive.

    It was 10/10 amazing! - calamari: 10/10 so good probably the best Ive ever had - burrata: 8/10 what I would expect at a good restaurant but not as impressive as other dishes - cod: 10/10 so good I didn't know cod could be this good - seafood pasta: 10/10 super good and fresh - tiramisu: 9/10 probably the best non-alcoholic tiramisu I've had

We ordered online from their actual website, and the online menu was very clearly labeled and was SO thorough in explanations and checkmark boxes for variations and letting the place know about allergies and such. That is rare to find, and people with allergies always have to worry about that kind of thing, it's a whole to-do. IYKYK. If you have celiac, it may not be a great option as they have cross contamination for their pizzas. Anyways, now the grand reveal: I got a gluten free and dairy free pizza with various toppings and it was GREAT!! It's rare to find a pizza place that can fill the place of regular pizza when you have gluten & dairy allergies, but this comes close! I'm very happy with what I ordered. It is pricey, and their extras are pricey to add on. However, I don't really care as it is rare to be able to enjoy pizza for me. They also provide little gf/df marshmallow treats as a little dessert, for free. That was a nice surprise. Companies don't do stuff like this, so it goes a long way in my book! Overall, great allergy friendly pizza place, and also for regular folks who want a regular pizza. Everyone will be happy.

    Gufo, on Cambridge Street, MA is absolutely the Italian restaurant to go to outside of Italy…read more Yesterday, 3/17/2026, my beloved, kind-hearted & caring-loving son stopped @ Gufo & got me a lunch meal. It was the manager Ryan's recommendation & prepared with special care, & attention as I'm lactose intolerant. My famous "Mushroom Bomb" sandwich with a delicious salad, 'house Focaccia, without 'Queso.' OMG! It was so delicious & I was surprised to have eaten everything within a few minutes as I'm a slow eater & do take me time to eat my meal. There is also brunch meal made with these special mushroom & very delicious too. Try it when you at Gufo during brunch. Thanks to the Gufo kitchen crew, the waiters & bar staff. They are always personable, pleasant & customer-friendly. To the manager, Ryan, keep up the amazing & awesome job you're doing. You're truly the best. The chocolate chip cookies are to die for. Also thank you for the pizza & cookies last time. To my son Tepe N. Esq., you're an amazing, thoughtful, kind & incredibly awesome son. Surprising me with such a delicious meal meant a lot to me & others who watched me eat it. Bravo! Tepe, is also a great lawyer. If you're looking for one, contact Ryan or me. Queen Brigitte.

    A while back, I had seen a photo on social media of the "snacks" tray offered at Gufo and I…read morecouldn't get it out of my head - it's about six little dishes of various offerings, like smoked almonds, wonderfully citrus-y bright green olives, anchovies in olive oil and chili dust, radishes over sheep's milk butter, a wedge of cheese in fig jam, and eggplant caponata in whipped ricotta, with a side of focaccia. All this for $30! If you and your friends are in more of a nibbling mood, this is a fine option. Other great things we ordered: 1. Half chicken Milanese - I loved the layer of greens and creme on top, makes for a beautiful presentation. That said, this dish is best eaten right there at the table when it's hot and crispy. I had some for leftovers the day after and the texture definitely wilted. 2. Duck bacon pizza - can't go wrong with duck bacon but it's pretty rich and indulgent and, while I love pizza, one slice of this was enough. Next time, I'd try the pepperoni and vodka pie, which our waitress was super enthusiastic about. 3. Swiss chard Caesar salad - love that they add fish roe on top for an unexpected burst of flavor and saltiness. 4. Rigatoni - sauce had a lot of depth to it but very, very salty. 5. Cacio e pepe arancini - we ate this so quickly that I didn't have time to snap a photo. Dessert was soft serve, they're very generous with the portion. The layout of the restaurant is a little funny - when you come in, the host stand is in an empty space with the pizza oven right behind it, and then you walk a little further back into the actual bar/restaurant area. It's a pretty casual sit-down place, with both families and office dinners happening. Lots of street parking outside.

The beet salad was fresh and yummy. Seating was comfortable, lighting was bright and cheery, our large group was accomodated well. But the thing is this: It's a full two months later and I'm still thinking about that cauliflower soup! There is cooking, there is good cooking, and then there's food artistry. That soup was a work of art! I would go back just for that. Five stars for paying attention to the details, for the artistry of putting together just the right balance of flavor, texture, and visual presentation. This is way more than "a good pizza place."

Rather than replacing it she charged us for two but by the end since we had already waited for her to bring us our check ( she forgot, I had to go find her to get the check) I didn't even fight it. Probably wouldn't come back after that experience. New York style pizza was good, we did a build our own of that, better than the margarita. Bucatini without meat was pretty good and the rolls appetizer and kale/quinoa salad was decent ( a little dry) Yesterday was a 3.5- averaged it with my previous review to reach a 4.

    Stopped in based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Yelp. Showed up around 7pm on a Sunday…read moreand it was near capacity but we were able to be seated right away. The dining room is fairly small with some bar seating available as well. It was clean and bright. It took about 7 mins for the server to come over and she lead with "are you ready to order?" I guess simple pleasantries are useless anyway. We knew our drinks and appetizers order but not what we wanted for pizza yet so we ordered those and told her we'd order pizzas when the apps and drinks came. She came back about 3 minutes later and asked if we were ready to order yet. Feeling pressured, we ordered thinking that perhaps they close soon (not the case). The bartender delivered our drinks a few minutes later and about 5 mins after that both the appetizers and pizza arrived at the same time. Besides the fact that our table wasn't large enough to accommodate all that food and drink, it was never our intention to eat our appetizers with our meal. The good news is that the food was hot, fresh and tasty. The potato bombs were excellent. Crispy home fry like potatoes and the peppers had a nice heat. I would love to try the popper version next time. The pizzas were good too, but be prepared for floppy and slightly under done base crust but a perfectly charred edge crust. I find many wood fired pizza to come this way but I did see other reviews mention this as a negative. The bill comes in a small ball jar with a delicious rice crispy treat. While the jar worked it must have made it hard to see that I dropped my credit card in it, so after the waitress walked by a few times I removed the card and made it visible on the table. When the tab came to sign I was not given a pen. I should have walked out and just let them charge me for just the tab but I cannot stiff waitstaff, even when it's poor service. My only hope is that it was the waitress's first day and she somehow figures out the typical cadence and procedure involved in waiting tables. Food was a solid 4 but service was a 2 so I landed on a 3. I would definitely go back hoping for a better server.
