Right outside of the Lechmere Station in Cambridge Crossing lies Geppetto, a quaint, Italian-inspired eatery. This dinner-only establishment opened in 2021 and offers high quality Italian food with innovative techniques. Headed by two chefs — Chef Will Gilson covering the cuisine and Chef Brian Mercury as the pastry chef — Geppetto is sure to offer patrons something to satisfy their cravings

Staff eagerly await guests’ arrival and swiftly seat them. The colors of the walls are a deep teal green, the seating is a light pink leather, and the establishment is accented with a light golden wood grain. This particular color scheme has the potential to be disastrous, but Geppetto does just the opposite. With vases and frames bursting with faux foliage that accents the empty spaces between the booths, the restaurant’s visual weight is as cohesive as it is stunning.
