Mike's Restaurant
Mike's dominates Davis Square the way the State House dominates Beacon Hill. It is a quintessentially Somerville institution that features short-order Italian cooking: subs, all kinds of pasti, huge calzones, old-fashioned pizzas, chicken/veal/eggplant dinners, etc., plus juicy, "fat burgers," seafood and even lobsters. Decent selection of wine and beer. My favorite item here, though, is the arancini -- a ball of rice, stuffed with peas, onions and ground beef, deep fried to a golden crisp on the outside and smothered in tomato sauce. It's overpriced now at $2.79. Very casual, sub shop "atmosphere." (4/98)
