Geppetto is located within The Lexington, at Cambridge Crossing.

Drawing from his love of Northern Italian food, Chef Gilson will bring the flavors and feasts from Italy to our modern, dinner only restaurant. Ingredients of the dishes will highlight the farms, fishers, and foragers of New England. Guests can dine on composed platters of cheese, cured meats, and small bites to start their meal. Housemade pastas, local seafood, and fresh butchered meats will be the highlight of an evening at Geppetto - all concluded by desserts from one of the city’s leading pastry chefs, Brian Mercury.

One of the hottest restaurant openings of 2021 from Eater.

    First time to Geppetto’s, did not disappoint. The food was phenomenal, and Brian, our server, was as well! The most enjoyable experience. Will be returning.

    very small menu. limited cocktail options. only one rose and orange wine by the glass. cute small touches. good glassware. service was good in that they spaced out our courses and provided fresh silverware for each one. the olives were yummy with fresh citrus zest, but the ricotta toast was nice.the bolognese was good but not a true bolognese. was a mix between a vodka sauce and a bolognese. was a very creamy bolognese in my opinion.the lobster rigatoni that caroline got was good. kinda wish i got that. very creamy. good spicy vodka sauce.

    Excellent! The service was great. Our waitress went above and beyond to accommodate my husband’s dietary needs. The food was really good. My husband and I both had the Branzino and it was the best I have ever had. The menu is somewhat limited but it seems that what they make they make very well. Will definitely be back.

    Service was excellent! Drinks were on point. Appetizers and starters were excellent. Main courses were short of test and extremely salty! We would love to come back and try pasta dishes!
