Secret Gardens and CourtyardsFrom the team behind Vialé, this new kid on the block plunks a fantastic hidden courtyard—dubbed the “backyard“—right in the heart of Central Square. It’s always a party here, from the lively container bar to the fragrant smoker (any smoked meat you spot on the menu, order it). A retractable roof provides shelter on wetter days, perfect for cozying up over a hearty entrée—spicy crab spaghetti, perhaps?—followed by a sweet treat like banana upside-down cake.
