    Large Chicken broccoli calzone
    Allegra P.

    Recently I've been trying the hamburgers in my neighborhood and scampa is surprisingly the best. The food is fresh. The burger is fresh. The size is big. The price is low. You really should be trying the burgers from skampa if you've never tried it. It was really easy to order online and it was ready fast. I love this place. The guys who work here are kind and I want everyone to support this local business

    Skampa was such a great find. Why? They are extremely friendly, and their food portions are huge! I was in the area, craving a healthy lunch, and was really hunger and so glad I stumbled on Skampa. Ordered: The Greek Salad, with grilled chicken (they give 7-8 ounces!). Would be enough for 2 meals, except I was hungry so... Thanks, Skampa!

    Zita with meatballs.
    Michelle M.

    We usual3only go here for their roast beefs or pastrami which are both really good. However today I dared to venture to try something different, since our usual spot Alfredos is closed on Sunday. I ordered the ziti with meat balls. It was gross. Simply put. The meatballs are frozen and taste it, the noodles were mush they were so over cooked. The sauce isn't bad, but they barley put any on. My husband got the steak tip dinner and man was that a disappointment in a box. The steak was tough and chewy, tasted of a lot of vinegar the fries and onion ring were both soggy and most of the onion rings Batter was blown off. Just a really crappy experience.

    Fried shrimp dinner with fries, it also came with a side of coleslaw.
    Jonica S.

    Skampa is so tasty! The menu has so many options but my favorite is the shrimp dinner with all fries which comes with coleslaw. The fries are sooooo good and flavorful!!! By far the best fries in Cambridge,Mass. The fried shrimp on this order is always done so perfect. I highly recommend this if you like fried shrimp. Make sure you ask for an extra tartar sauce because they have a pretty good tartar sauce with some mini chunks of red onions. I'm not really a coleslaw person but I enjoy Skampa coleslaw with this order.The portion is filling for 1 but you'll end up saving some for later.

    I ordered a small pizza; half cheese and half pepperoni. The crust was super thin and light. It only took 10 minutes for pick up. The staff was friendly.

    Pizza for us was poor, service slow. Dozen preferred pizza spots within a few mile radius. Perhaps the sandwiches are the better play here.

    How is the roast beef?

    I have never had their roast beef because I dont like roast beef personally. Everyone I know who eats the roast beef here says they like it

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."

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.
