If you are in the mood for Italian flavor cuisine, this might do. Menu highlights include Antipasto, ensaladas, pizza, and more. I was in mood for breakfast. We originally arrived at Café Luna (next door) to have brunch. However after a 15 minute taxi ride in heavy traffic and the fact that we were told it would be 45 minutes to a 1 hour wait at Café Luna we changed our mind. Also hungry teenager in tow, we decided to shift to another destination thus we landed at this place. Servers speak Italian. Which is a bit of a challenge especially with current COVID masking. But we managed to get orders in and food on the table. I started with a cappuccino. Beautiful aesthetically & Tastes pretty good. my waffles bananas foster also looked beautiful but bananas were unripe and a bit on hard side. I tasted my husband's sausage - it was decent. Service was attentive and friendly. Great corner street location with clever decor (real life Italian scooter positioned high above tables). Enormous wall of windows that open out to patio seating. Menu feels limited and a bit pricey ($20 for my waffles with no additional sides). read more

Let's start with the good: Food 3.5/5 - Burrata 4/5 - the pesto sauce was incredibly fresh, as were the tomatoes and burrata - Cioppino 3/5 - jonah crab toast was cold, the cioppino was lukewarm likely due to the service issues which I will go in to in a sec. While it did have a wide variety of seafood that was fresh, for a $40 plate I couldn't get past the lukewarm dish - Drink selection 4/5 - good selection of craft beer, wine and cocktails Where do I start with the service? We were seated outside on a packed patio with one server. After a half hours wait, drinks were brought out, then we saw a different person bring our apps walk it over to a table that was just seated and offer it to them. Fast forward 10 minutes the manager brings it out and offers it to a different table. Different servers would walk out with dishes and check with every table whether it was their order before being able to figure out whose order it was. I have honestly never seen this done on a consistent basis at any other restaurant. Needless to say the app was brought out with the lukewarm dinner. I don't think this was the servers fault because by the end there were 6 different people who were attending to us. Yes, the staff was apologetic and the app was comped (thank you), but for a rather pricey restaurant and the hour and a half wait for food I have to rate service a 1/5. read more

I can't compare this restaurant to other brunch places in Boston (since this is the first one I've visited), but overall we enjoyed a decent meal with nothing amazing to speak about. The prices here are also a bit high. The English muffins from the smoked salmon were a little cold, but the dish was very flavorful and they were generous with the smoked salmon. The potatoes on the side were also good but could've been a little bit crispier. The french toast with mascarpone and berry compote was a little dense and had a more eggy flavor than I was used to. The mascarpone and berry compote was very good though. My partner thought the burger was solid. read more

This a nice spot but the food just isn't up to par with it's surrounding restaurants. We came here for brunch with our family and sat across from the giant panoramic windows that opened up. That is a nice feature at this restaurant that is fun to experience. We ordered the following: 1.) French Toast (3 stars) -A little too sweet and presented as a giant loaf...needs to be cut properly. Looked like a 5 year old put this dish together 2.) Panzanella Salad (5 stars) - Must order 3.) Margherita Pizzette (3 stars) -The pizza was too thick here and the dough was weird. 4.) Sweet Cheeks Pizzette (3 stars) - Too sweet and the egg is unnecessary. 5.) Fresh Fruit (5 stars) - Beautiful fresh array of fruits- very generous amount of fruits too! All in all I would come back here because the service was good and the ambience was lovely. I won't come back here for brunch though. I thought the food was average. I'm curious to try their cocktails and would come back for the salad. read more

Visiting Boston right now, If I even began to explain how incredible and fresh this food is I would be writing a 5 page review. The omelette with Mushrooms is exceptional. Brunch here is worth every penny. Authentic Italian twist in Brunch. I will come back every visit. I recommend here! read more

We were actually planning on going to Cafe Luna, but we didn't realize that they closed in the afternoon, so we popped into Sulmona. They have a very cute seating area, which is a great spot for taking a memorable photo. I went at a less busy time, and the service was great. I got the Carbonara and it was the perfect amount of creamy. I liked it, and my overall experience was pretty good. read more

Excellent food; my husband had the carne pizza, I had the steak bomb panini, and we were both impressed. Classy interior, great location near both MIT and Harvard. Didn't get 5 stars because our waitress never offered refills on my coffee; seems like as soon as she got a table of people she knew she forgot about us. read more

Food was good, service was not good. It was a little busy but you need to take care of your customers.

I should've known this place was mediocre when I saw that the restaurant next door, Cafe Luna, was packed and that Sulmona was basically empty. The staff is friendly and attentive with quick service, but the food is NOT up to par with the atmosphere or price level. For some reason, it just wasn't tasting quite right. It looked good, but it all just tasted off, such that my friend and I did not finish our meals. Unfortunately I would not recommend this restaurant. Maybe for drinks? read more

Food and drinks were excellent. The only issue was the service. Though very friendly, multiple tables had orders entered incorrectly so everything ordered came out at the same time. We ordered an appetizer that actually never came, but our entrees came out first. A similar issue happened at the 2 tables next to us (at least they got their appetizers). read more

This place was pretty good! You must get their Sunday meat appetiser. It was so good, way better than the entree. Their pasta was slightly undercooked and their sauces seem one dimensional. Honestly the 4 stars goes to their appetiser. read more

This place never disappoints me! I love sulmona's burrata and waffles on their brunch menu so bad. And other main dishes are so good too!!!

Went with a large group. Three of us ordered the same meal. I think they made all three at once as I received no fish or shrimp but the other 2 had a lot. For 47.00 I want my shrimp. When I told the manager he brushed it off and kept walking. Will not use for a large dinner again. read more

An awful first impression walking through the freezing cold winter wind thinking of a warm pasta dish and glass of red wine ....walked in and asked for a seat at the bar only to be rebuffed by the guy at host station talking down to me indicating there was a private party going on that was ending but they weren't open.... And back to his screen.....nice impression Richard. Found a place just down the road that greeted me with a smile and happy to serve me wine and pizza! read more

Was in Cambridge and visited Sulmona for lunch. The place has a very nice decor and great ambience. Seemed like the crowd was mainly corporate folks. Ordered lamb skewers, Meatballs and grilled octopus. Lamb skewers were very good, the meat was a bit tough though: Could have been tender. Meatballs were done well, with the right amount of sauce and sausage. The favorite was grilled oysters, nicely flavored and had a bit of paprika sprinkled on them. Bread was tough and chewy. It was a delight to have them. Will recommend the place read more

We walked in at 5:15 without a reservation (party if 3) and place was very empty yet hostess was hemming and hawing before saying she would sit us but had to kick us out for a 7:15 reservation, which doesn't make you feel very welcome. Doubt we were planning a two hour dinner but ok. We sit down and wait 10-15 minutes before we meet the waiter who is not friendly at all and seems to be hating life. We order the bistecca (over cooked and sides lacked flavor), a white pizza (which was decent), and the lamb skewers (which were under seasoned). We also tried the mini cannolis which were bland and I rarely leave cannoli on the table but all three of us found them not worth the calories. Overall service was poor, food was blah, and price made sure we would never return for another such experience. Oh and we left by 6:30 (while restaurant was still half empty) without having to be escorted from our table fortunately read more

This place has a spectrum ambiance coupled with amazing food and beverages. If you like a lengthy pour for your wine then this is the place for you! I was so delightfully surprised by how much they gave in a glass - so much that it was note worthy! They were serving the regular menu in addition to some specials (ALWAYS ASK). I got the shrimp special that they had that day it was the amazing garlicky, brilliant pasta dish. LOVE! The service is awesome and staff are very attentive. Location is very central and you can feel free to check out some other sights and sounds in the area. Definitely an amazing experience in Boston and would highly recommend! 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

Four stars for food, three stars for service. This place is super cute vibes but even with a reservation there was a short wait to be seated, surprisingly so since it didn't seem that busy. My date and I ordered a wide range of food, my favorite was the Potato Croquettes Panzerotti which is a yummy appetizer! The Lamb Skewers were my dates choice but was AMAZING and definitely worth ordering! Also the portion of the lamb skewers were impressive definitely to share! The whole reason we had come was for the Carbonara, which was incredible, creamy and delicious, I just wish there was something green on it, like fresh parsley because it WOULD have made it my favorite carbonara ever, but in Boston there is a lot of good competition when it comes to pasta. Which is another reason for the 4 stars it's good quality food but nothing special. The service was a little hard to ignore, my water was empty most of the time and our server forgot an entire entree that we had ordered. Definitely paying for the ambiance of the place more then anything else. Still a fan but probably would try somewhere new before coming back. There wasn't anything I tried that made me want to come back to be honest. But still a good experience and a cool place to come try for date night. I recommend the Potato Croquettes Panzerotti I could have like three orders of those. 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

Great Italian place to enjoy great wine and delicious charcuterie and Italian cheese. We had a bottle of Umberto Cesari Moma Rubicone Red wine! Devine! So smooth and soft on the palate! It was perfect to go with some pepato and Gorgonzola cheese, and some of the salami!! The olives and eggplant were delightful too! Arancini were crunchy and fine. One and only one comment: we had to beg for bread .. they bring you all the cheese and charcuterie with small 4 slices of bread (check it in the pic). We kept asking for refill and did that 4 times. That's a big shame especially that in Italy, the main big basket on the table is the Bread! Thus the 4 instead of 5 star! read more

Overcooked pasta. Meatballs with so much filler that turn to mush in your mouth. We requested bread. The server delivered two pieces of bread in a wax paper bag for four people. Really???? Disappointing read more

Just about everything about this place was amazing at least for brunch on a Saturday at 11 am! Service was amazing and very attentive even for a busy restaurant. We got in and were able to grab seats at the bar immediately. The food tasted amazing and the portions may look small, but don't let that fool you because both dishes were made well with quality ingredients. Very Rich. I ordered the Porchetta Hash and my partner the seasonal Eggs Benedict. Atmosphere was also very nice. The overall feel of the space was intimate but still very fun and active. Definitely a great place for a date or for an Igor out with friends. And depending on where you were seated you might catch a glimpse of the great big pizza oven in back. Some people might say that this place is slightly overpriced for what you get but hear me out..... realistically you are paying for the quality, unique flavor and authenticity of each dish. Needless to say, I'm taking the leftovers. read more

Had a bolognese special - tasted great and just the right amount. Good wine selection. Service was great.

I really enjoyed this place! We had a reservation on a weekend at dinner time and it wasn't crowded at all. Upon being seated, we quickly ordered some drinks and appetizers. The arancini is very tasty and presentation is pleasing (they have a seasonal one now filled with pumpkin)! The only comment I have is it was not super hot, just warm, so I felt like I had to eat them rather quickly. For the entree, I ordered the funghi pizza. It was perfect!! Plenty of toppings and cheese as well as slices to make it flavorful. The crust was doughy and not too thick. The server was friendly and attentive. One of my friends entree took another 10 minutes after all our other entrees arrived so we did get a little impatient. But to make the experience better, the manager sent a little complimentary dish (not too sure what it was) while she was waiting, and I thought that was pleasing. For dessert, of course we had to get the bag of donuts! The donuts are light, yet still satisfy your sweet tooth. The Nutella on top plus the blueberry sauce on the side compliment each other perfectly!!!! I will be back here very soon for my friends birthday! read more

Great 4 star place. Brick oven has good pizza. But they put a béchamel on it? And the crust was soft despite the fired oven. Sticking with octopus this week, we had the app that came with smashed potato, which was drizzled with some type of spicy deliciousness. Had to go with the porchetta panini which was fantastic. Got the tomato bisque to go with it, but it had too much something in it, maybe sherry? Restaurant is beautiful, nice tiles, high ceilings. Party of three for lunch was $120. I think they charged for the iced t refills. Oh, and they are not afraid of anchovies!! Frito misto and Caesar salad loads up the little guys. Yum!!!! read more

Ahhhh. I love dinner here. Maybe my favorite go-to "nicer" dinner in the Kendall area. Been here several times for dinner so here's a laundry list of thoughts Apps - arrosticini: grilled lamb skewers, so tender. They are $12 and very worth it - arancini - fried rice cheese balls also $12....need I convince your more? Dinner - once I had the langostini special and it was incredibly expensive and not filling - not recommending that - Wild boar ragu is a great option if you're drinking a red wine! Very rich and filling - seafood pasta (on the specials menu that night)... to my great pleasure actually had perfectly cooked seafood; unforgettable and unfortunately a rare occurrence for dining here. Always get my seafood mishandled but I can trust sulmona! Would suggest this place as a nice first date place for cocktails as well. Their bartenders are fun and did some tricks with orange peels for us :) read more

I have been meaning to visit this restaurant for a while now (always ended up at Cafe Luna) and I am so glad I was able to have brunch here finally! The restaurant was quiet, which is not a bad thing. We got seated right away. I had a Bloody Mary, which was great and my company got Nutella ice coffee - it was amazing. We started with hash browns, which were crispy unique squares. A little dry but well seasoned. We ended up splitting the tiramisu French toast and a frittata. The French toast was good but lacking in the tiramisu flavor. The frittata was great. Both were large portions. The ambiance was nice - open and clean. Clean bathrooms, no complaints of the service. read more

Great spot in Cambridge to satisfy your Italian food craving. I've been here many times but the last 2 times that I've been, has caused me to knock off 1-star for their otherwise 5 star experience. The last 2 times we've sat outside in the patio and have had the same waiter...he seemed to want to be anywhere but there. Everyone at the restaurant is warm and welcoming but this guy was ice cold. Service was rushed, no checking on us mid meal, which had us waiting for water for 20 minutes. The food here is excellent and is the main reason we show up, but perhaps I won't sit on the patio on Friday evenings just to make sure that I don't get the same server again... read more

I came here with a large group for a birthday celebration. It was an excellent place to hold a gathering as it's roomy and the staff were well-prepared before our arrival. Here's what we got: Chicken liver: must get! The onions cut the fatty taste perfectly Arrosticini: excellent, even better with lemon on top Panzerotti: okay Wild boar ragu: decent portion given the price, noodles were cooked just right, lots of shredded meat, sauce is a little heavy on the cream though Would recommend getting a bottle of the Terre Nere red wine. It did not leave too much of an acidic aftertaste and went well with all the food. Overall a great experience. read more
