Viale

Had $1 oysters in the summer. They were fantastic, very fresh! The new outdoor seating is great and they had an absolutely fantastic orange wine as special at the time. The great thing about this place was that the oyster happy hour was at a decent time (Monday through Thursday from 5pm to 7pm, if I remember correctly!). Hopefully they will have the same deal this summer!

[5/5, Cambridge, MA] Stumbled into this restaurant which turned out to be a wonderful surprise. They offer their own “Restaurant Week”, a 3-course meal for $45. You can choose your own: Starters (Duck Croquette), Main/Large Plate (Grassfed Strip Steak), and Dessert (Tiramisu). We also added a seafood pasta (we forgot the name it’s called Saffron something?) but it was the BOMB. Actually, all the savory items mentioned here were fantastic. Tiramisu was not great because the cinnamon powder was overwhelming. Will definitely be back. Great food and value.

Honestly one of the best restaurants in Cambridge! Discovered via Off the Beaten Path Food Tours food tour, we loved meeting the owners and learning about their food. We tried really fresh and delicious oysters and arancini and stayed afterwards for yummy drinks. Cool vibe and welcoming. They have awesome art there too. Can't wait to go back for brunch this weekend.

Absolutely loved Viale on my most recent Boston trip! This place was recommended to me by my food blogger friends, and I was so surprised I had no heard of it or tried it before! The food was amazing, atmosphere was relaxed and laidback, yet trendy and slightly upscale vibes. Definitely a fun place to come grab a quick drink too! They were also very accommodating for us, we had a party of 15 and they arranged the tables and everything for us without hesitation. Highly recommend checking out Viale next time you’re in Cambridge!
