Business Summary what's this?
For three star Italian, try Bertucci's in the Greater Boston area. This place is located in the Harvard Square area. It's known for its pizza. This place features outdoor dining. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a family atmosphere. This place is good for groups.
1.0 of 5 stars.
Stay away! Bertucci's is just plain out bad. Every time I try to give the place a chance I get disappointed. Food is poor and menu is uninspired. You are better off cooking a frozen Bertolli bag...
