Mike's Food & Spirits

"The staff was negligent my first time and gave me the wrong sauce for my pasta. That was fine cause I swapped with someone and they loved it. I wanted chicken ziti with Alfredo and I know that’s not Italian but oh well the American Italians made it a thing ! And their chefs are from Central America anyways so the authentic Italian went out the window. The second time I had the spinach pasta it almost killed me . It made my mouth so dry I had cotton mouth. The Alfredo is trash flavorless . They have one dish with vodka sauce I like that sauce the most but it only comes with that dish (it has pork in it). I know Italians love the pig but they do have none pork pastas . Idk I can’t send y’all here for pasta it’s to pricey . And they give the smallest ration of meat It’s not disgusting just not worth the money so if you do come share with someone and see if you like it first . The Turkey sandwich is ok I liked that they had fresh pasta but I don’t like the food integrity I don’t think they have any. I think it’s a bunch of people who only want a check the food has no love and that’s not the Italian way !"

"I don’t know what happened to this place they were my go to 2 to 3 times a week when I lived in the neighbor hood a couple of years ago. Figured I would take my family there for old time sake. The service was terrible. And so was the food. I understand everything is going up price wise. But for 2 sandwiches, 2 beers and a Mac n cheese. 70 dollars I paid for absolute garbage. Do better like everyone knows you can."

"The service was some of the most inattentive service I have ever experienced. It took us forever to even get some water….extremely lazy service. Had to chase them down to even get the check….they were not busy by any means, which honestly should have been a red flag in the first place, especially with it being a Friday night… The food was also extremely disappointing. I got the Alfredo with chicken and broccoli, which somehow tasted shockingly of Chinese food. The chicken had a sickly look to it. I was told I would be receiving a side salad which I never received. My boyfriend got an Italian sub which was decent, not mind blowing by any means, but fine. Much better than the Chinese inspired Alfredo I received at the very least. They have an AMAZING location, but its potential is being squandered with the utter mediocrity that I experienced."

"Pride in food and drinks is not a common occurrence in Cambridge/Somerville, and the female bartender is breathe of fresh air. The margaritas are some of the most interesting and deliberate drinks I’ve had in Boston. A strange and refreshing experience on a whim. The bartender was nice and excited to make them for us and took almost 5-10 minutes to make them, in a good way. We could see her actually mixing, measuring, muddling, CARING for our drinks. The pizza was okay! Boston pizza sucks, and “okay” was also refreshing."

"The regular crowd during dinner time just tells a lot about this place. Very kind stuff! Food was awesome Tap bear and many cocktail options Really a spirit of a sports bar. Will visit again"
