We celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary and enjoyed our experience at Josephine. It was really nice out so we sat out in the patio area. We were far enough away from the Somerville Ave side that the traffic wasn't a bother. The focaccia and broccoli rabe dish were the favorite dishes. We also enjoyed the sausage pizza, the large meatballs with spaghetti, the clam pizza, zeppole with the Nutella sauce, and the olive oil cake. Our waitress, Camilla, was very sweet and friendly. It's a beautiful restaurant if you're looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occasion.
