    Came back after 4 years with positive memories of it prior. Service has gone way downhill. Our waitress hardly checked in yesterday, and my one year old spilled my entire drink. 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.

    Seasonal Greens Salad
    April T.

    Tried Source Pizza after hearing a lot of buzz on the radio about being one of the top pizza places in Greater Boston area, and it lived up to expectations. Do keep in mind though that their pizzas are the kind you eat with a knife and fork and will fall apart if you try to hold it with your hand. We went with the seasonal pizza and added prosciutto, plus the seasonal salad. The pizza was really tasty with great flavor throughout and the prosciutto brought all the flavors together. The seasonal salad had a refreshing yuzu vinaigrette that was light and flavorful, though the portion was on the smaller side. Great ambiance for brunch - quiet and had a very clean atmosphere. Parking in Harvard Square also might be easier in the morning versus afternoon and evening. Service was good but they seemed to not come by very often despite the place not being too busy. I had to flag them down for water. Overall, enjoyed my experience and would go back.

    This spot was absolutely adorable. The staff was super personable and I loved every moment there. We just went for drinks, but I'll have to go back at some point for dinner---everything looked and smelled amazing! The cocktail I had was really good and I've had a lot of cocktails! The combo of the vodka, lemoncello, blackberry and lemon was smooth and memorable. It was also presented in a stunning fashion. What a great experience!

    I'm here to highlight the brunch menu, the bubblies, and good vibes on a Sunday morning at the Source Restaurant! This place is a fantastic spot to share a meal. I came here with two girlfriends and we instantly felt relaxed. The brunch menu offers a little of everything for everyone from shareable plates, to pizza, to pasta, and to the morning fixings. I'm happy to say that we ordered more than enough for the table and happy to bring home a bag of leftovers. The Margherita pizza was airy and delicious. Send Nooods was cooked perfectly and so creamy with every bite. The brussel sprouts was a table favorite as it was sweet and a little spicy. And the Coming to merica plate had every food group. The restaurant is classy and yet down to earth. The staff are very friendly and very attentive. We were able to make a reservation online with no problems. And there is plenty of street parking close by.

    a friend and i decided to come here on a sunday evening, and the ambiance was so comfortable. the staff seemed a little all over the place. our food was good, i loved the whipped ricotta with really unique, delicious toppings, however it was kind of burnt on the outside and the center was still doughy. the chopped salad was good, we ordered a neopolitan pizza with red onion, garlic and sausage which was yummy, but i wish they had ground sausage rather than links. the tagliatelle was pretty good as well. whipped ricotta 4/5 chopped salad 4/5 neopolitan pizza 4/5 tagliatelle 4/5 our meal was better than average, yet as friendly as the service was, i wished they were more attentive. overall, i'd try source restaurant again when in harvard square. ambiance: 5/5 food: 4/5 drinks: n/a service: 3/5 source: 4/5

    Source was good! We ate off of the dine out Boston menu, but their regular menu was much better. Our waitress was wonderful- she gave so many tips and suggestions and was so kind and friendly. The best thing we ate was the whipped ricotta. It was so tasty and the portion size was pretty big. It was such a standout! The source chopped salad was also really good with just the perfect amount of dressing. The hummus was pretty good, nothing too out of the ordinary. I had the cod almondine, which I believe is exclusive to the dine out menu. The fish was cooked perfectly, though I wish there was a little more seasoning or sauce. Everything the fish came with was really good. The pizza crust was delicious too. The vanilla trifle for dessert was one of the highlights, with such a great balance of layers with cake and mousse and whipped cream. Overall the restaurant is really nice, I also got to have their brunch which was honestly better than the dinner!

    Margherita Pizza

    so delicious. i recommend the custom pizza neapolitan. the dough base is incredible. the chicken parm came on pizza dough. went for my birthday and the kitchen hand wrote me a card! great ambiance although table is a little small. recommend making a reservation

    Seasonal Pizza

    Great meal in the welcoming and bright Source in Harvard Square. Creative cocktails and delicious food. Their seasonal pizza is one the best I've had in recent memory. Friendly and attentive service. Open for lunch and not too busy.

    Whipped Ricotta
    Jerrick C.

    3.8/5 Decent food and drinks, not so decent prices. Came here on a Monday for their $26 three course dinner deal. You get an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert for $26. I chose arancini for the appetizers: they were small and had an uninteresting filling. My friend got the whipped ricotta with bread: creamy and delicious but the bread was stale. Then for my entree, I chose the eggplant triple stack. This was standout. It was more of a sandwhich stacked with crispy eggplant, prosciutto, and a creamy basil sauce with an arugula salad on the side, although the salad dressing was lacking in flavor. The dessert was an alright tiramisu with a pointless and soggy pirouette included. They give you wine paring suggestions which is nice! All in all the food and service were great, but they add a 4% kitchen fee. That on top of tip and the drink you inevitably order makes the price not that great a deal. Next time I go, I want to try the pizza which looked quite good. Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 Deal: 2/5

    Pepperoni Pizza

    The food here is good! A bit on the pricier side but you get quite a bit of food. The pizza was a bit too greasy for my taste, but I truly enjoyed everything else. Service was quick, nice, and efficient. Pretty friendly. Ambiance is low lighting, close/shared tables, and pretty sleek but humble. I liked that the plates were all different from each other.

    This place was as amazing as expected! Staff were very helpful and friendly, food was absolutely incredible, and vibes were just immaculate! First off, the Brussels were amazing! They were on the sweeter side, which is how I love my Brussels, but I know that might not be for everyone. The pizza was the highlight of the meal. It was a big enough size that my spouse and I shared it, but it definitively would've been a bit much for 1 person to eat, unless you really love pizza! This place is a must stop if you're visiting Harvard.

    One of my favorite brunch spots in Cambridge! Great ambiance always with friendly service. The food is consistently delicious, they never miss. Highly recommend the guac my waffle, so many flavors coming together for the ultimate yummy plate!! The Spritz Is In the Air is also a summer cocktail fave, very refreshing

    Friendly staff, great salads and fresh pizza that doesn't leave you feeling bloated. Love the…read morehomemade rice crispy treat at the end of your meal! Great location just feet from the Greenline Chill vibe! Very "garage band-esque" feel Bathrooms need a facelift.

    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.
