Walked into the place took a look at the menu and the door host told me not to touch the menus, 1st red flag. Second red flag, our waiter served us water and didn't come back for 10 mins. Third red flag, look at the cacio e Pepe (photo on this review) it's literally soup. The noodles on the end taste like water straight from boiling. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but yes no stick to other items at this restaurant. read more

Sulmona - Cacio El Pepe - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

The food was great, and the service was good. The only thing was that we did not have one waiter. We had different waiters and it took a lot of work to place orders. When we ordered desserts they kept forgetting what we ordered and how many. Other than that the food was great. I ordered small appetizer "PANZEROTTI", and a dessert that was on their special menu. Desserts called "Dolce," it was Tiramisu. I was in love with it. I also tried their special "Limoncello Spritzer." It was okay. If you like Limoncello, you will like it. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice, and the decor is good. It is kind of hard to find parking. They do not have a parking outside of the restaurant. read more

Booked a birthday dinner for two. Reservation requested a quiet table. We were at next to a large party in the traffic lane. Three other tables available in quiet areas. Spoke with hostess who said if the late party doesn't show for one of the booths we would be moved to that table. Ten minutes goes by. No server. No table switch. No communication at all. We walked out on a birthday reservation because of this. Won't be going to lunch here with the company tomorrow either. I've worked restaurant jobs. I get it. But don't screw people over on important occasions and make false promises. Update: I was able to speak with the owner and he listened to the complaint assured me they would coach the staff better and gave me a gift card to come back and give Sulmona another shot. We went back and had a great meal at a nice table and Bill is a great host. Upgrading my review because one bad experience shouldn't torch my opinion of the place. I will be returning in the future. read more

Came here at 11am on a Saturday morning. I made a reservation, but the restaurant was pretty empty--likely that you can walk in without much of a wait time. In terms of ambience and vibe, I was a big fan of this restaurant's decor. The dark walls + wood details made the space feel elegant and high-end despite being relatively affordable. I ordered the porschetta hash ($17) and it was divine! It was my first time trying this dish and I think I found a new brunch favorite. The meat and potatoes were well seasoned, and I really liked how crispy the pork was. I also felt that this was a fair serving size for the price. All in all, I had a great brunch experience here. Service was quick and the space was clean. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

Sulmona is one of my new favorite restaurants since it opened several years ago. The chef also owns Amelia's, another Italian restaurant on Kendall Square. It is a contemporary restaurant with nice ambiance. I have brought friends here a few times for lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere. In my experience, the service has always been good, and I love the food! read more

Went with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day dinner. We were amazed by the decor and the restaurant had a lovely ambiance for a Friday night. The cocktails were strong but tasty. We split the arancini, each got delicious pizzas with a good chewy crust, and finished the meal off with cappuccinos. Service was excellent. read more

Came for dinner. I have been several times and the dishes are always interesting, but the execution is always a bit lacking. I find the food too oily and lacking in distinctive flavor. The pizza was particularly disappointing - it was freshly made and should have been delicious, but ultimately too greasy with too much cheese and not enough flavors that came through. It's almost like a generic frozen pizza, but made fresh. That said, there is good variety and the basics are there. Most people will be happy with their meal. The food is consistently good, but I haven't found much great here. read more

Found Sulmona very underwhelming. The atmosphere is definitely nice, with mood lighting and good decor. Service was friendly and really fast. But the pizza was well below my expectations for such a place. Maybe that's just not what you should get here, but I figured it was pretty central on the menu and good pizza would be a speciality of an upscale Italian place. Instead the margherita was really bland, the Bianca was over salty but otherwise also bland, and for both the taste and texture of crunchy crust was by far the dominant part of the dish. You can get much better pizza at other, much less upscale places. read more

I went to Sulmona for dinner the other week and was pleasantly surprised by the strong sense of hospitality and excellent food. I had the pleasure of meeting Roberta, the general manager, who shared her passion for "making magic happen" in the hospitality business. I thought that Roberta was very friendly as well as active with both guests and staff- which overall lifted my dining experience. The food was equally impressive-- I had the La Melanzane pasta which was both rich and flavorful. The atmosphere was inviting and lively, I would recommend Sulmona for both casual outings and special occasions. Overall, Sulmona exceeded my expectations, offering a well-managed dining experience with great hospitality and delicious Italian cuisine. read more

What a wonderful brunch experience! We were seated outdoors, which was adequately socially distanced. Our server was very nice and recommended menu items and customized caffeinated drinks. We were a group of 4 and ordered the Waffles, Paninic Margherita pizza and the tiramisu French toast. The Margherita pizza - I haven't had such soft thin crust pizza in a long time! The toppings were nicely spread with a mix of tomato and cheese with basil leaves on top. The pizza was fresh out of the oven and perfectly baked. The tiramisu French toast however was the start dish. I wish I had not ordered it to share! It was not overly sweet and you could taste the French toast and the tiramisu. It came with a drizzle of chocolate and lady fingers. 10/10 would brunch again. Will likely end up getting the tiramisu French toast only. read more

Went to Sulmona for dinner and it was a really nice spot. Slightly busy in a thursday which made for a good atmosphere. The staff were so nice it was my boyfriends bday and they were great in getting us a dessert with a candle! We got a pizzette which was nice and I got the cacio e Pepe and my boyfriend got the chicken parm. The star of the show was the arancini! Would go again read more

5 stars for the wonderful suprise this place was! We picked it mainly because it is on Seated (and can get cash back), and because the interiors looked very cool. we were right about the space: lots of natural light, great decor. Our tummies were very satisfied as well. I ordered the sangria and the wild boar ragu, which was served on homemade cavatelli - could use a bit more salt, but otherwise the pasta was cooked al dente and it was a great choice for the kind of sauce. The sangria was crisp and refreshing, and tasted like actual fruit, not syrups. Everyone else at the table got various types of pizzas, which also looked very tasty. read more

I heard this place wasn't great for dinner, but thought I'd check out the brunch. Service was great. Waiter attentive. Good coffee - love it when a brunch place serves decent coffee. I can never decide between savory and sweet so split the prosciutto benny and mascarpone french toast with a friend. Both were delicious. I'd definitely come back for brunch! read more

Decent Italian food in Cambridge. Their pizzas are great and so is the wild boar. Service is generally quick.

Went for a team dinner and we were a rather large party. Was accommodated instantly as we came in ( I arranged & organized so I showed up alone and early) Seating was great, atmosphere is great, MUSIC was on point that night, Woman who works the counter told me it was her playlist because I def needed to know who picked the station! Had been wanting to come for several months but just hadnt had the opportunity. We were a party of 20 and they allowed us to order off the menu with no Pre-Set options which is great because alot of places in the area wont allow that. Food was great, No complaints. We did bring in a cake for a mere $10 charge (it was a bday in the group!) Options are great, Steak was DELICIOUS, Drinks were good. Cant wait to come back with a smaller group and try more options on the menu. read more

We were actually heading to Cafe Luna but saw a terribly long line and so we popped in to Sulmona instead. We were so happy we did. Our waiter, Lucas, was so wonderful. He was helpful, cheerful and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious. We went for brunch and had the Tiramisu French Toast which blew our minds! I most certainly recommend Sulmona and can't wait to go back! read more

Horrible Italian food and bad service. Had three types of apps and cacio e pepe. Not a fan. Would not be coming back here.

This place has a good ambiance. Waitresses are nice and overall it is a clean place.However, the kitchen is not very strong. They are not consistent. In my first visit , it was good. After few months, I visited again and it wasn't good at all. I got a soggy mushroom sandwich which was loaded with apricot jam. Fries were terrible.They were cold and burned. Since it was a business meal, I didnt want to make any comment next to my colleagues. The overall food standard and consistency is unfortunately low.This place has such a nice location and good menu. You can definitely do better. read more

I would give Sulmona 4 stars for the food and for providing kids pizza dough to play with (truly a great a idea), but I was absolutely shocked when we got charged $7 for a glass of lemonade for my 5-yo. That's unacceptable. And if you're going to charge that kind of price for lemonade, then it really should be listed on the menu with the price. read more

Been a patron since they opened and continued (as much as possible) through the pandemic--as we wanted to continue to support the restaurant. Excellent food and drinks up until a certain point. Great food and we love the owners as we try to support local/private businesses. However, the service, quality and prices have been atrociously compromised as of late. Now, the food is hit or miss and often the meals don't come out at the same time for the entire party. This causes some to eat cold food. Servers are way too slow and keep screwing up on the food orders and or bills. Its become a cliche of an overly rated restaurant that I know has a real charm. read more

Came here again with coworkers. We shared 3 different kind of pizza. It was perfect since 6 pieces/kind and we were a party of 6. I really loved all kinds of pizza. I hadn't had good pizza for a while, so I give now 5 stars. I had Maine beer and that was good, too. The service was excellent, too. read more

It may have taken a few rounds to get the pizza I ordered, but when it did arrive, the Abruzzi is a baller pie! I dig Sulmona's interior, with the brass and low-voltage beams alluding to some hybrid Italian cafe bistro. The suspended Vespa is icing on the cake. Server was prompt if seemingly unplugged, and evidenced by an incorrectly ordered pizza (although, the Funghi may get et next time - it looked stellar) which when questioned - "Where's the broccoli rabe? - was met with a point to chives. In ultimately recognizing the error, our server had a manager run the correct plate to the table, and the house comped a beer (a Maine Beer Company Peeper) for the troubles. Makes the rendered pork belly all the more savory! Vibe is buttoned collar types; would cocktail again. read more

This place was subpar. I came in for Sunday brunch with my husband and best friend and the restaurant was fairly busy. I understand, Sunday's are popular for brunch. I ordered smoked salmon eggs Benedict and received my meal about 15-20 minutes afterwards. My food was a little cold and the eggs were slightly over cooked, unfortunately. Our waitress was nice, but she wasn't attentive. She literally only came by to take our orders and to give us our check. She never stopped by to offer refills, additional condiments or to check up on us. I wouldn't return nor would I recommend Sulmona, to be honest. read more

My family and I made a reservation here for 2pm, but they kindly seated us despite us arriving 30 minutes earlier. The restaurant was nice and clean and we were seated at a table inside next to the open windows where we could enjoy the light breeze coming in. We shared the tiramisu French toast, panzerotti (potato croquettes), hanger steak eggs benedict, and the sweet cheeks pizza. For drinks, we ordered the Nutella iced coffee (nonalcoholic version), red sangria, and pineapple express. The tiramisu French toast tasted slightly burnt to me, but it had just the perfect amount of sweetness. I loved the plating of the dish and the lightness of the cream, which was honestly the best part of the dish. The potato croquettes were alright, yummy enough, but I wish they were crispier. The sweet cheeks pizza was too oily for my liking and the crispy pig cheeks were sparse and tiny, but really chewy, reminding me of this dried pork meat my mom loves to eat. The best dish is definitely the hanger steak eggs benedict. The juiciness and tenderness of the hanger steak paired with the spinach and cheese was absolutely amazing. I have never enjoyed an egg benedicts dish so much! The Nutella iced coffee was also really good, just right amount of sweetness. I enjoyed the sangria and appreciated how big the glass was. The pineapple express, in comparison to the other two drinks, was just alright. I would come back for their hanger steak egg benedict and to check out their other pizza options! read more

My girlfriend and i thought we'd try this place after a business down the street was closed. Due to our experience, we were thoroughly repulsed and deeply disappointed. I, a Connecticut native, and my girlfriend, hailing from New Jersey, know what good pizza is. This was a disgrace. The salad was purely meh. The waiter was very over assertive and was inappropriate towards my girlfriend. Very sick of places like this, which base themselves off of an aesthetic of 'classiness', where the wealthy can delight themselves to a shit lunch. not a fan. And neither should you be. read more

Had been hearing good things about this place for a while, so decided to take a work group here for dinner. All the food was made from very organic ingredients, and you could tell by its taste. The bruschetta and burrata was FANTASTIC - such simple but organic ingredients that tasted amazing and fresh. The arancini was fantastic as well. The carbonara was less good - quite watery and lacking in taste. The chocolate cake with ice cream was also incredibly rich, velvety, and a great way to end out the dinner. Service was great - we had a very large party and they brought our food correctly and speedily. Ambiance was kind of like a firehouse - nice lighting and good location. Would recommend getting dishes with fresh ingredients read more

Recently came for dinner for a friends dinner and had a nice time at Sulmona. Cute interior with a floating Vespa and some exposed Edison bulbs. We started with the Sunday sauce and the burrata, the burrata was delicious and served with pesto. The Sunday sauce was ok, the sauce was a bit bland as was the meatball but still good. For mains we all opted for pasta - the vongole, nonnas spaghetti, the amatratciana, and the wild boar ragú. All the past was delicious and home made which never hurts. I got the amatratciana and it was pretty good. The sauce was ok, a bit bland and not spicy enough for me, and there wasn't a ton of guanciale. The pasta was good. I also tried the ragú and that was delicious so absolutely recommend that and that's what I would get next time. My friends seemed to enjoy their dishes. They also made the birthday special by treating us to an apple tart with a candle which was so nice! Not a lot of places do that but it's such a nice touch. The tart was also delicious Follow me on @ sophiaeaaats for more recs! read more

This review is based after my second visit to Sulmona. The first time I went, my friend got sick (you can actually see his review below)-- and so I was hesitant to go again, but I thought things might have changed in 2 years. This time, it was with a group of about 15 people. The interiors of this restaurant are pretty cool, and they have a good drink menu. I had a cocktail the first time, but this time it was just food. We ordered several antipasti and main course items, including a pizza. I myself ordered the burger, cooked rare with fries. Note that if you want an alternative side other than fries, you could only get the house salad, which was average. The food arrived in a reasonable time. The presentation was average, like you would find in any other restaurant-- they didn't break any significant ground. The burrata with pesto was good (I tasted some of it). The burger was not bad. It was made rare, and I could taste it well. The condiments on it were okay, I would say there was too much onion on it. It met my expectations of a burger, but wouldn't say it exceeded my expectations. Overall, I'd give 4 stars for food, 4 stars for the service and 4 stars for the ambience. I usually allot 50% to food, 30% to service and 20% to general atmosphere/ambience. The average comes out to 4. read more

I wasn't a huge fan of the old fashioned (which doesn't seem to be on the online menu), which was a little confused in taste IMO? But it was quite a strong drink, they were not skimping on that! In contrast, the three appetizers were all decent to amazing. The best, carciofi fritti (15$), had perfectly fluffy and crisp artichokes, with great flavor. The panzerotti (13$) and arancini (14$) were tasty, but not as special. The funghi pizza (18$) was super tasty, with lovely mushrooms and creamy cheese. The pepperoni (17$) was not very good, with salumi that were in huge chunks and didn't combine well with the cheese base, leaving unevenly salty bites. Overall, perfectly adequate, if a bit hit or miss at a slightly high price point. read more
