Cuchi Cuchi clearly wanted an "image" which they have successfully created with decor and server wardrobe. Certainly gives it a cool/fun vibe. Food is interesting and quite good. I do like going to places where you can taste a lot of small dishes. I went with friends I hadn't seen in a long time and it was not the right... More

Good food, fun drinks, great outfits on the servers. Very loud, however. More

When reviewers tell you Cuchi Cuchi is romantic, they don't mean quiet alcoves and whispered sweet nothings while discreet waiters stand at the ready. It's a zany place, halfway between Carnavale and a speakeasy, decorated to the nines and heavy on the inventive cocktails. Food was all right, not swoon-worthy, we thought. Service on a weeknight was good, though a... More

This place cannot be missed. Not only is the wait staff and bartenders in 20's type attire but the drink and dinner menu is diverse, authentic and vintage! The blood orange martini was delicious and the appetizers were superb. It's a complete walk back in time. If you've seen the movie, Midnight in Paris, the decor and surroundings reminded me... More

i dont rate Cuchi Cuchi as excellent only because it is too crawded and kind of noice (as people like these places in North America) if you are tired of the typical american "Truman Show" restaurants you can find all across the country, go to Cuchi Cuchi. good taste, good atmosphere, nice music (when i arrived it was Edit Piaf...

Oh, man -- you've got to try this place! It's so much fun -- waitresses dressed like flappers from the 1920s, ceilings and walls dripping in beads and sparkly things, quirky-vintage decor. This place has it going on. Of course, there's almost always a birthday celebration when you go (complete with all the birthday peeps dressed as flappers and gangsters)... More

Uniquely joyous drinking and dining experience. The turn-of-the-century Parisian ambience, complete with waitresses in Belle Epoque costumes and jewels, is fabulous. So, too, are some of the small dishes; the Asian salad (light and savory, flavored with fresh lime juice) and the mushroom risotto are to die for. Lots of good drinks, but my favorite is the not-too-sweet strawberry basil... More

I was only in Cambridge for 1 night and was absolutely thrilled about where the Hotel Concierge sent us. It is a place I will definately go back to on my next visit, and I can't imagine a place that better fits my personal style and tastes. Well... the servers wear outfits from the Roaring 20s and have great attitudes,... More

Starting with the eccentic deco all over to the costumes the waitstaff wears, CuchiCuchi sparkles as the pearl of Cambrdige restaurants. The mushroom risotto was very good as well as the sangria. Plates are a little small so its great for a light dinner and drinks before going out. More
