LIKE NONNA MAKES IT

The sleek atmosphere of Sagra feels like a step up for Davis Square, but the food (and prices) at the Italian restaurant remain down to earth. You'll find pizzas, pastas, and grilled and cured meats on the homey menu; most of the fresh pastas and all of the sauces are made by hand by chef Robert DeSimone.
