June Bug Restaurant

Cozy, casual restaurant in a busy Somerville neighborhood. We went for our anniversary dinner on our daughter’s recommendation and glad we did. The menu isn’t extensive & keeps changing but the two appetizers we ordered were delicious as was the pizza. The pizzas are light and individual sized but after eating appetizers, one was enough split between the two of us. We got the olive oil cake & flan for dessert & they both were so delicious! Our server was amazing and at the end of dinner, refilled our wine glasses with sparkling wine on the house. I’d definitely recommend a visit to June bug. Beware, parking is an issue in the area. Take a ride share if possible.

Maybe the best pizza in Boston - and I have tried a bunch of them. Light crispy wood-oven unleavened crust, well chosen and appropriated toppings, and multiple options for crust dipping sauce take these pizzas to the upper tier of New England pies. Shrimp toast on focaccia was another excellent form of pizza hiding on the appetizer menu. Will return soon!

Had an amazing experience at June Bug! The vibe of the location is cute and unique. The food was amazing we got the verde pizza and the pepperoni pizza both were cooked perfectly and the kitchen sink salad was addicting. I loved that they had NA drink options. The waitstaff was really kind and friendly. I said on the reservation that I have an egg allergy and the hostess handed me a menu when I got there that marked down which items had eggs and which were safe for me to eat. NEVER HAS THAT HAPPENED FOR ME. Omg I was so excited and relieved since I hate having to ask a million questions about what the menu items are so this was so sweet and I really appreciated it. I wished all restaurants did this, I def will return!

Amazing crust on their pizza. We got the courgette pizza, the pepperoni pizza, and a Caesar salad. Caesar was amazing. Courgette was so yummy, couldn’t recommend it more. The pepperoni was a little spicy but still good. It’s a little pricy for pizza and salad. the menu is also pretty limited. I would def go back tho!

The pizzas were spectacular, appetizers were lackluster and not worth the price. Service was also nice. We really enjoyed the service and pizza, the flavors were so unique, and the crust dippers were excellent. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, including the oysters, fish, lamb tartar, and heirloom tomatoes. Oysters and lamb was fine, but others were average. The appetizers were all at least $17-18 but the sizes were sooo small. The fish literally was just four or five thin slices. If you come here just order the oysters and pizza, don’t get anything else.

Service was amazing. I was on crutches and their whole team was attentive to ensuring I got to my table safely and that I was comfortable. They went above and beyond in this way. Vibe check - awesome atmosphere. Feels like it sits at the intersection of a whimsical and lighthearted feel while remaining clean and classy. Dope music too! Food, as expected, is also top notch. I especially appreciated the tomato sauce on the pizza. Not too sweet and enough zing to please the palate but not overload. The dough has a great balance between chew and crunch - yum! Other highlights include the mushroom salad, shrimp toast, and fluke & bay scallops tartar. Always room for dessert - see photos of their apple crisp with ginger ice cream and flan.
