    Small Mushroom & Fontina Pizza
    Dan M.

    Grabbed a to-go small mushroom and fontina pizza. Place looked hopping and everyone was very nice but took it back to hotel. Great taste, the slightly charred crust was perfect and the mushrooms were tasty. Paired with a cheap red back in hotel lobby so we could people watch. Small was a decent size and well priced, especially for Boston.

    Mushroom fontina
    Aravind V.

    The pizzas here are awesome and huuuge for their price! My favorite was easily the mushroom fontina, which was extremely generous in mushrooms and cheese, and hit the spot. The drinks were also great, a personal favorite is the very unique Espresso Matchini (I was skeptical of Matcha and alcohol, but this was great, could barely taste the alcohol). Wait times can get pretty high though, so just be prepared to wait

    Come for the good pizza/food and reasonable prices, not for the ambiance - as you walk in, you feel like inside an MIT library.. no music, cold and quiet large space. We got some wine (no complaints, but also nothing special) and the anchovies pizza, which was good, yet on the saltier side, and very wet at the center (while try near the crust). They were super kind go provide some extra red sauce (which was hot and tasty! Thank you for that!). I just wish they would be a bit more creative with the toppins (learn from Si Cara, you're neighbor)

    Supreme garlic knots.
    Tanvi G.

    One of our favorite pizza spots in Boston. This is a light, airy sourdough crust. The margarita is delicious and the supreme garlic knots are extremely cheesy. Service is good.

    As most reviewers,we were swayed to try out their pizza which did not disappoint-good topings,lovely crust. Overall cozy venue and good selection of meals to try-only wish our server wasn't that upset with the world as she appeared to be,but perhaps she was just having a bad day. Also,another staff member who brought out pizza order just dropped it off the furthest corner of our table and left-not ideal. Other than that,we had a good experience!

    Everything bagel with cream cheese
    Rebecca D.

    This review is for the cafe side of Area Four, as I have not tried their pizza. On the cafe side, you order at the counter and seat yourself at one of two long tables (well, a bunch of small tables pushed together). When it's cold out, the cafe gets pretty chilly whenever the door opens, which I found kind of uncomfortable. I kept my coat on. I ordered a drip coffee and an everything bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was your standard everything bagel - better than a Thomas grocery store bagel, but not as good as homemade. It was also toasted almost to the point of being burned, which I didn't love. Cream cheese came on the side. Coffee was ok. Not too bitter. I'd come back to try the pizza but for the cafe, I will pass.

    Small Clam Oreganato

    Tried this spot for the first time and it was great! Would recommend all three flavors that we ordered which were mushroom, clam, and margherita. Biggest comment from me is that the dough was perfectly crispy in the margherita but underdone in the clam and mushroom.

    I've ordered their mushroom pizza for delivery twice and this pizza slaps. Thin, crisp crust, delicious mushroom flavor, perfect cheese ratio. Will absolutely order again and try more off the menu. Plus the boxes always have a fun sticker inside :P

    1 Dozen A4 Szechuan Wings
    Angie M.

    All was delicious and served hot. Went here for a graduation celebration lunch! The service was relatively quick. Enjoyed everything. The meatballs are comparable to Prato in Orlando and that in and of itself is worth a star. Sooooo good. Flavor texture sauce everything just went together so well. The wings were crispy but tender. Piping hot just the way I like my food served. Will return again

    Gotten pizza takeout once and came in person last night. Ambience and lights were great! Great for a small group of friends Salmon 9/10: I really liked it! Prosciutto pizza 8.5/10: get it! Mushroom pizza 6/10: can use some work.. Brussels sprouts salad: too much dressing..

    Garlic Knots and Brussels Sprouts Salad
    Karen T.

    My friends and I came on a Friday night at 8. They didn't have any availability inside but we were able to get seated immediately outside. I loved the pizzas. The dough was so nice and chewy, and the cheese was delicious. We each got a small and were only able to finish half; next time, I'd probably share a small with apps or a large. We also got a Brussel sprout salad which was delicious. I'd skip the garlic knots next time.

    Hawaiian pizza

    Food on point. Atmosphere great. Bartender awesome. Highly recommend. Highly rated beers on tap.

    Jason A.

    A really nice pizza spot on the MIT campus! The pizza was doughy and the ingredients were fresh! The prosciutto and arugula pizza was our favorite. The craft beers are also amazing - I love the sour one! They were nice enough to let us sample a few first!

    I held this year's birthday dinner here. I had a good impression of Coda Restaurant Group before,…read moreand this place did not disappoint. Prosciutto: The best dish of the meal. The prosciutto slices were perfectly salty, rich in fat, and smooth, wrapped around the refreshing sweetness of kumquats, the delicate creaminess of stracciatella cheese, the crunch and nutty aroma of pistachios, and topped with a smoky touch of sumac powder. It had a rich and distinct flavor profile while offering a gentle and comfortable taste. Spaghetti: The refreshing lemon and basil paired with the umami crab meat is a classic combination. Chili oil added a touch of spice and aroma, while pea tendrils provided a light herbal fragrance. The sauce was emulsified very smoothly, making it both rich and palatable, although the spaghetti itself didn't leave a particularly strong impression. Half Chicken Milanese: A large portion, perfect as a main course to share. The chicken cutlet was thick, fried to a fragrant perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Wrapped in lettuce and eaten with mayonnaise, it brought back memories of the fast food stalls outside my school when I was a child. This was my first time trying rhubarb stems. The tangy and refreshing taste cut through the richness, and the texture was like softer celery and firmer green bell peppers - quite interesting. Duck Bacon Pizza: The most highly rated pizza online, and it was truly delicious! The rich, savory flavor of the duck bacon, the succulent richness of the shimeji mushrooms, and the mellow sweetness of the caramelized onions, combined with the creamy cheese base, made it a calorie bomb, but I still felt it was the right choice. Unfortunately, the crust was a bit hard, making it difficult to cut with a knife. Cotechino Pizza: This was my first time trying a pizza with sweet potatoes, and I couldn't help but admire their innovation. The colors were vibrant, and the sweetness of the sweet potatoes paired with the smoky aroma of Cotechino sausage bits created a full yet harmonious flavor, evoking the feeling of being in the southern Italian countryside in early autumn, basking in the bright sunshine and the satisfaction of a bountiful harvest. The restaurant offered menus printed with "Happy Birthday," and the waiters provided professional cake-cutting service. Overall, a very comfortable experience.

    Have wanted to try Gufo for a couple of years now, and finally made it in for an early birthday…read moredate night. We didn't make a reservation so we ended up at the bar but I didn't mind. I got the after school snack cocktail which was very refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. We split the Bucatini Verde and it was so delicious. I couldn't even pinpoint the flavors I was eating but it was amazing. Fresh pasta and just really good flavor. We saw a dish online we wanted, but the server explained they use that pasta for different dishes and change out the sauce, so I'm glad I got to try it. We then split the Pepperoni + Vodka Sauce pizza which was good. I'll be honest I was a tad disappointed in the pizza. It was flavorful but I think I was expecting the same feeling I got when I had the pasta. It was good, but just that, good. Crust was a little burnt. I did love the vibes and pasta and it's definitely known in Cambridge for a good reason. I'd recommend a reservation if you'd like a table as it does fill up fast.
