You wouldn't expect to find a first-rate Italian restaurant on a street littered with gas stations and Dunkin' Donuts, but La Morra easily exceeds all expectations, even by North End standards. Wood paneling and warm autumnal tones set a romantic mood for a thoroughly original menu inspired by less well-known Northern Italian cuisine. The house specialty of cicchetti, or Venetian-style tapas, work well as either preludes to the main course or as snacks at the bar (where they are served until 1am on F); try the Tuscan meatballs with porcini and prosciutto ($4). Perfect al dente pastas like the tagliatelle with figs and ribola cheese ($10/20) are available in half portions, but why stop there? The $35 prezzo fisso will get you 4 heavenly courses from antipasti to dolce—trust us, your mouth will water with the memories. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard. Enjoy cicchetti (Venetian style tapas), a nightly prezzo fisso menu served in the style of a traditional Italian meal with antipasto, primo, secondo and dolce for $35

It's a good honest specimen of a dying breed around these parts: an American-Chinese restaurant where you can go with a paperback on a damp, chilly day, sit down, and get a cup of hot and sour soup for lunch (they actually do this very well), a spring roll, and a plate of something spicy and reasonably tasty with rice for six or seven dollars.
