House-made pastas, seafood crudos, and inventive Italian dishes
"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. photo credit: Joe St. Pierre photo credit: Joe St. Pierre photo credit: Joe St. Pierre photo credit: Joe St. Pierre Pause Unmute" - Tanya Edwards

"A restaurant in Lexington owned by chef Will Gilson that was mentioned as part of his portfolio when he solicited diner feedback on Instagram. The resulting flood of comments highlighted common dining frustrations—wanting to feel relaxed and welcomed by attentive staff, annoyance at surprise service or admin fees, and broader concerns about service consistency—while also praising the transparency of asking for input. Management is considering operational changes prompted by the feedback, including whether to eliminate a separate 5 percent service fee used to support staff benefits and instead embed those costs into menu pricing, all while balancing rising costs and practical constraints." - Erika Adams
"Geppetto is hosting the 12 Chefs of Christmas dining series, featuring special four-course dinners by guest chefs each Sunday." - Nathan Tavares
"Opened in East Cambridge as the final piece of the Puritan & Co. trio at Cambridge Crossing, Geppetto highlights house-made pastas overseen by pasta consigliere Tony Susi and includes an amaro cart; it’s open for dine-in only." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
