Did someone say pasta🍝? I had the pleasure of going to the Fat Hen located on 126 Broadway St, Somerville, MA 📍 this week.

They serve a wide variety of wine 🍷 and delicious pasta dishes that seriously rival some of my favorite italian 🇮🇹 spots in the Boston area.

For appetizers we had their yellowfin tuna🐟 crudo and the beef tartare. The tuna crudo was my favorite of the two and had delightful notes of ginger and serrano pepper.

For pasta dishes we had the wild mushroom🍄 gemelli, the duck🦆 confit tortellini and the goat cheese gnocchi.

The pastas all individually tasted amazing! We were blown away by the flavors and will be back to try the other pasta dishes on the menu.

Finally, for dessert we had their tres leches cake🍰 when you dig deep into this cake you will be blown away 🥰

Be sure to check out this spot next time you are in Somerville! Also, right next door is the Fat Hen’s sister restaurant La Brasa which serves up more great dishes and cocktails.

Rating: Food: 9/10 Affordability: 5/10 Note I was unable to sit inside Fat Hen due to a private event they were having. I was served the Fat Hen while seated in La Brasa so I can only rate the ambiance of La Brasa which was a solid 7/10.
