Federico is a charming person as is his house and the surrounding Cambridge area. It is a few blocks to Harvard, many restaurants in two directions, and an easy walk to the Harvard red line stop. Darwin's, a great cafe for coffee and sandwiches is at the end of the block. If you choose to eat in, Savenor's market and butcher, 3 blocks, is one of the best true butchers left. Julia Child frequented it. Federico's kitchen is equipped with everything you might need to cook. Also the spices you might need are available at the market or Whole Foods. The best feature of his house is the second floor sauna in the shower. What a great way to end a day after walking around Boston. Open a bottle of wine and enjoy your dinner and relax. Bon Appetit!!
