Geppetto is a vibrant new Italian spot in Cambridge Crossing, serving inventive, fresh pasta and comfort food in a chic atmosphere perfect for date nights.
"Geppetto is cooking some of the most interesting Italian food in the greater Boston area. We’re talking about things like fried mozzarella made with delicate strands of pasta wrapped around a hunk of mozzarella, then deep fried and topped with (yes) more cheese. You’ll also find a menu packed with housemade mafaldine with braised lamb and plates of cappelletti with pumpkin. It’s a solid date night or dinner with the parents move where you can snag a big comfy booth or a window seat that overlooks Cambridge Crossing." - tanya edwards, joel ang, dan secatore
"Geppetto is hosting the 12 Chefs of Christmas dining series, featuring special four-course dinners by guest chefs each Sunday." - Nathan Tavares
"Geppetto is cooking some of the most interesting Italian food in the greater Boston area. We’re talking about things like fried mozzarella made by frying delicate strands of pasta with the cheese—picture dozens of tiny, crunchy strands of pasta loosely wrapped around a fairly large hunk of mozzarella, then deep fried, and topped with (yes) more cheese. You’ll also find a menu packed with housemade mafaldine with braised lamb and plates of cappelletti with pumpkin. It’s a solid date night or dinner with the parents move where you can snag a big comfy booth or a window seat that overlooks Cambridge Crossing." - Tanya Edwards
"Geppetto, an Italian restaurant by chef Will Gilson, opened this fall for in-person dining after pivoting to takeout during the pandemic. The restaurant, located in a building with its siblings the Lexington and Cafe Beatrice, originally started as a takeout and delivery service in early 2021, which saved the business. The menu includes dishes like beet cavatelli with corned beef, ribeye topped with a bagna cauda croquette, and panzanella made with New England molasses bread. Other highlights include tuna and lardo crudo, smoked short rib carpaccio, endive Caesar, handmade pastas by pastaiolo Tony Susi, and desserts by pastry chef Brian Mercury. Geppetto focuses on Italian cuisine with a touch of nostalgia and non-traditional techniques, and is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
