Greater Boston's best new restaurants

Area Four It’s like two restaurants in one, both tailor-made for Tech Square: an all-day bakery-cafe attached to a sparse, industrial dining room with two wood-fired ovens. The ovens produce most of the menu, so puffed-crust pizzas, like the puttanesca topped with green olives, hot peppers, and anchovies, retain the slightest char; roasted veggie dishes, served family style, are crisped on top. The bakery turns out fresh scones, buns, and daily sandwich specials, plus locally roasted coffee. This was just what the square (and Cambridge) needed. 500 Technology Square, Cambridge, 617-758-4444, areafour.com
