Somerville, nj

We had to be in  the Somerville area this weekend so we had drinks at Wolfgang's in Somerville before our meal.  Beer's were good but the fresh chips out of the fryer were really tasty. Decided to try an old school italian restaurant in Da Fillipos Authentic Cucina which didn't look great from the outside but the service made the place.  The owners, a wife and husband (the chef) were really nice and had great recommendations including the fried arugula which was excellent.  Really interesting way of cooking cod in paper which kept the moisture in the fish. Everything was very good. The chef suggested we come back in Winter when he fries a different vegetable which is even better.
