Somerville is "shaping up to be one of the best and brightest culinary destinations in town," the magazine's website says.

On it's website, Boston Magazine has declared, "When it comes to restaurants, Somerville is so hot right now."
The magazine points to some new restaurants and food destinations coming to town in the near future:
- Cafe Tango, which will open underneath the Tango Society of Boston at 16 Bow Street in Union Square.
- M.F. Dulock Pasture Raised Meats, which is moving in next to the former Chocolate Tarte space on Highland Avenue.
- The Bearded Pig, a BBQ company that may be moving into a Union Square space this summer.
Meanwhile, the magazine lists some other trendy newbies in town: Casa B, Backbar and the Painted Burro, in addition to "already established stars" such as Bergamot, Posto and Highland Kitchen (which was named best place to get dinner in Somerville by Patch readers).
A lot of the action seems to be happening in Union Square, including the new outdoor wine and cheese market, Swirl & Slice, that's coming to the neighborhood this summer.
The magazine doesn't mention La Brasa, the brainchild of Daniel Bojorquez, a protoge of Frank McClelland and winner of "Chopped" on The Food Network, who at last glance was expected to open his South American-influenced restaurant on East Broadway this spring.
Boston Restaurant Talk reported that Fortissimo, a coffeehouse and bakery, could be opening as soon as this month in the Somerville Avenue space occupied by International Market.
And in Davis Square, Dave's Fresh Pasta is moving ahead with plans for a neighborhood wine and antipasto bar.
So hot.

And there are all sorts of other wonderful places to. One of my favorites is Ebi Sushi on Somerville Ave. next to Dunkin Donuts....it's actually owned by a Guatemalan!

I have lived in this city for about 37 years, been a resident homeowner for 32 of those, and the best restaurant hands down is Out of The Blue, in Davis Sq.
Best seafood and best Italian food in the city. Although the menu is somewhat limited, the choices are outstanding. 5 stars!!! Steve Laicos will have his outstanding chef's cook anything you like, anyway you like it.
