Our Favorite Cambridge Restaurants
Food scene
Ava’s is upscale brick oven and Detroit style pizza and other pasta dishes. It’s honestly all amazing but I tend to go for the Chef’s Favorite (mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, and balsamic redux) and the Ma’s Meatball appetizer with fresh bread.

Carmela’s has in-person dining but we tend to take their pizza to go. They have their set pizzas or you can create your own with your favorite toppings. It’s my favorite pizza dough.

Don Chuy
411 Academy StDon Chuy is not fancy but is really good.
Black Water Coffee + Eats is so good and really cute. We usually get coffee and pastries — like their nostalgia-packed homemade pop tarts and delicious muffins— to go. Their breakfast foods are great too, but it can get crowded and indoor dinning space is limited.

RAR is a town staple. Their beers are great (they’re best known for their Nanticoke Nectar IPA) and I think their burgers are the best in town.
