Experts' Choice Award Area Four Kendall Square
What the experts agree on
Area Four's wood-fired pizza and scratch-made fare attract Kendall Square's tech crowd with unpretentious charm. Burnt-orange accents and an open kitchen vibe make it feel like a cool cafeteria—perfect for brunch, coffee, or late-night beer flights.
“Experience a little bit of each at brunch--and be sure to request the off-menu, usually available frosted pecan bun.”

Condé Nast Traveler "Smart but unpretentious...an open interior framed by glass walls and with a wood-fired oven taking center stage. Splashes of burnt orange paint and punchy writing on the walls keep things cool." Full review
