Out of the Blue Somerville

Out of the Blue in Davis Square seems to be the only restaurant doing seafood in this eclectic dining neighborhood. They only do lunch on Fridays and have a few specials as well as a small lunch menu.

Their website is very sleek and modern and it kind of continues with the outside look.

I didn't really expect to find an old school traditional Italian look inside, but here we are. Nice bar to the right and a semi-open kitchen. If you don't like garlic, stay away.

Plenty of seating inside and the did attract a fairly large lunch crowd, who all seemed to know each other.

Some nice crusty bread with real butter arrives quickly. You do get linen napkins even at lunch.

I decided to splurge a bit and started with a small Fried Calamari ($8). It looked suspiciously dark but was cooked nicely and you also get tentacles. Some warm marinara sauce arrived shortly afterward.

Calamari and Linguini ($12) in white, (you have a choice of white, red and marinara) was very good with perfectly cooked calamari and linguini in a very tasty sauce. In the evening, they have dedicated parking behind the restaurant.
