Bead and Company Now Brunello Bistro?


I was in Bread and Company a few weeks ago for breakfast and the place was pretty packed. The Bread and Company sign is now gone, replaced by one for Brunello Bistro.

Winter Hill Post-Thanksgiving Food Challenge

I came across this post on Chowhound recently, posted in 2002. The question is, are things better now? I am going to begin to compile a list of food suggestions in the region. Please send along any favorites that you might have:

tasty food in/near Winter Hill?

I'm seeing a play tonight at the Theater Cooporative on Broadway in Somerville, which is in Winter Hill. I know about Vinney's on Bwy further down, and Wang's much further up. Any other good food suggestions for that area? I'd prefer to spend under $15 for an entree. Thanks.

2 Replies so Far

  1. Not much right on Winter Hill. A couple of Sub/Pizza joints,but there is quite a bit close by in either Davis or Union Sq's. If you are driving, it is worth going to either of the Squares, if you are taking the bus, I would recommend Vinny's

  2. further away (ball square, but right on broadway -- bus #89) is the urban gourmet. not much for ambience (though neither is wangs) but there are tables and great, cheap food. pizza, pastas and innovative weekly specials.

Virgies? No. Madison's on The Ave? No. Highland Kitchen? Yes.

When I first moved to Somerville there was a dive bar up Highland Ave called Vergies. At least I think it was called that. This wasn't a dive bar like the Model or the Silhouette. This was a real dive. After I lived there a little while, Virgies was closed for renovations, and Madison's on the Ave sprung up in its place. I went there once. Not too much later, Madison's was closed for renovations, and now, the Highland Kitchen has popped up. Rumor is, it's pretty good, and it might actually be there for a while.

Highland Kitchen satiates Somerville neighborhood's cravings

By Katie Johnston Chase Globe Staff / January 19, 2008

SOMERVILLE - I've always dreamed of living within walking distance of a restaurant with delicious, affordable food, a decent bar, and a comfortable vibe. A place I could go to a few times a month to have dinner or a drink. A place I could call my hangout.

So when Highland Kitchen opened around the corner from my house last month, my hopes were high. I knew it was owned by the former chef at Green Street Grill in Central Square, where I had feasted on mahi mahi with mango-avocado salsa and sampled lip-scorching curried goat stew. And when I heard Tom Waits playing on the jukebox the first time I walked in, and saw the silver menus gleaming with promises of brandy flips and chili cheese fries, I was instantly smitten. Halfway through our first drinks, my husband and I were on a first-name basis with the bartender.
