Mike's Restaurant | Somerville


Mike's Restaurant


Many thanks to our guest reviewers today: Miro's high school friends John, Mike & Steve. Those four consumed a fair amount of pizza together over years of birthday parties and sleepovers, but this time, Steve didn't spill any soda on Miro's parents' carpet.
