Boston Food | This is not an Italian pasta. It's art!

🍝 Bar Enza: Cambridge’s Cozy Italian Gem—Perfect for Anniversaries (and Amazing Lasagna) Celebrated our anniversary at this charming spot, drawn in by its reputation for lasagna—and left impressed by everything. It’s got that "small, romantic bistro" vibe that makes date nights feel special, with food that matches the mood. 🌟 The Star: Lasagna Like No Other Forget heavy, gloppy lasagna. This version is a revelation: Thin, delicate layers (think "lasagna meets mille-feuille") that separate easily, each packed with rich ragù and just enough cheese. The top is slightly charred, adding a smoky crunch that cuts through the richness. No greasy aftertaste—light enough to finish without feeling stuffed. If you hate overly cheesy, heavy versions, this is your new go-to. 🍤 More Hits to Love Fried Calamari 🦑 • Crispy, tender, and tossed in a zesty sauce (hint of lemon, a touch of mayo) that’s bright and addictive. Perfect for sharing—we polished it off in minutes. Shrimp Pasta 🍤 • Simple but stellar: Plump shrimp, al dente pasta, and a shower of fried garlic that adds a toasty depth. It’s light, flavorful, and feels like a hug in a bowl. 📍 Vibe & Tips Atmosphere: Intimate, with warm lighting and a cozy energy—ideal for anniversaries or casual date nights. Portions: On the smaller side (we had room for more after two mains + an app), so don’t shy away from ordering extra antipasti. Address: 1 Bennett St, Cambridge Bar Enza isn’t just about great lasagna—it’s about thoughtful, well-executed Italian food in a setting that feels special. We’re already planning our return. #BostonItalian #DateNightEats #CambridgeDining #FoodieFinds
