French & Italian cafe with seafood, pasta, omelets, & mussels
"Juliet, the neighborhood restaurant that is known for its fluffy omelets and well-executed pasta, has a sister wine bar next door. The space is mid-sized and cozy; some remnants of the room serve as a reminder that this is where the original Juliet started. It’s tastefully redecorated to give a living room vibe: green plants dotting the window sill, comfortable couches for lounging, and woven pillows that add pops of color. It’s a beautiful space for a seated event or a cocktail reception. For more information, you can send the restaurant an event inquiry via their website." - Erika Adams
"Long-time favorite Juliet recently moved into bigger digs one door down, with high ceilings and hanging lights evoking a seaside restaurant along France’s Mediterranean coast; accordingly, the menu is seafood-heavy with culinary influences from Nice and northern Italy. The aioli garni and a variety of mussels and fries are good choices for sharing among a group; for a date night, try excellent pasta dishes, hake meuniere, or even a three-course tasting menu. The staff are attentive and friendly, so don’t hesitate to ask for wine recommendations." - Nathan Tavares
"The open kitchen buzzes all day, but dinner is where this team shines. Oysters, tartare or tuna carpaccio could kick off the meal, but the mousse au foie de volaille, with its delicate tart filled with chicken liver mousse, toasted hazelnuts and an apple gelee, is an auspicious beginning. Sea bream with ratatouille and pistou is simple but well executed, and pairs well with one of their many wines available by the glass." - MICHELIN Guide
"Union Square’s Juliet has great taste, from the decadent housemade pasta to the elegant decor that creates a warm and welcoming ambiance. Now you can bring a piece of Juliet home via Juliet-Fête, a (for now) temporary shop stocked with cocktail party essentials that is open from noon to 6 p.m. every Friday to Sunday. Here you’ll find tinned fish with cute art, interesting bitters that you don’t see elsewhere, and silver plates that’ll make your tabletop pop." - Valerie Li Stack
"Gather ‘round at Somerville French and Italian spot Juliet to watch the team crack open a 90-pound wheel of parmigiano-reggiano on Sunday, December 11. The action starts at 5:45 p.m., and tickets to the show — which include parm tastings — are $14 per person." - Erika Adams
