Try Dave's Fresh Pasta in Somerville

That looks good, though a bit out of the way.

I mean, Darwin's is more out of the way relative to Boston than Dave's bc Dave's is much closer to the Davis t station than darwins is to the Harvard stop.

Are there many people who take the T just for lunch?

We're on a Boston subreddit. OP is about a Cambridge business. Just pointing out the oddity of asking for suggestions and then commenting that something is out of the way when it's comparably convenient relatively to Boston as the original location in the post.

Not sure if you are new here, but the subreddit is officially for the greater Boston area.

From the description:

>A reddit focused on the city of Boston, MA and the Greater Boston Area.

I'm not saying the post doesn't belong here. I'm saying, it's odd to ask for requests for a sandwich shop that is as easily accessible in the greater Boston region as the answers and then shoot down those answers for being out of the way. As my previous answer described.

I do not see the word Boston anywhere in OP. Even if this was in Boston, recommending somewhere in JP as a replacement for a lunch spot in the North End would be inappropriate.

I honestly don't think Dave's Fresh is a bad suggestion, but your reply that everything here must be viewed from the perspective of Boston proper is just wrong.

THINK Sheol, THINK!

If Darwin’s is in Cambridge, and Dave’s is in Somerville isn’t it a little weird to consider one more “out of the way” than the other?

Depends on which Darwins the OP was referring to, and Somerville ain't all that far from Cambridge in fairness.

I mean out of the way for me. Not an overall criticism, just a personal comment which I should probably have kept to myself.

Sam LaGrassa's in Downtown Boston is your new "go to". You are gonna love it... little pricey but oh so worth it!

Shitty politics, though. I personally can't support them anymore.

What kind of politics is/was Dave's involved in? I haven't heard anything about them, though Darwin's and others in the area have had some clear political slants based support for certain local officials.

I assume then you've never had the displeasure of actually talking to Dave? Dude is a huge dick. Who supported Billy T.

Ah, so like a few others in the Davis Sq area. I haven't personally met him or seen anything obvious from them, but kinda assumed when you said "shitty politics".

I'm talking Dave's politics (buddy buddy with Tauro, supporting R candidates in general) not Darwin's.

Put the crack pipe down comrade. You’re confusing Dave’s Fresh Pasta for Deano’s Pasta. The closest food business to Dave’s that supported Tauro was Renee’s. I look forward to seeing what you pull out of your rear end.
