What they do
Sarma is a meze restaurant on Pearl Street in Somerville — the meyhane format: shareable small plates with drinks, designed to be eaten slowly in a group. Co-owned by [[ana-sortun]] (of [[oleana]]) and chef Cassie Piuma, who runs the kitchen. Piuma blends Mediterranean flavors (Turkish, Lebanese, Greek) with global inspirations; the bar program is the parallel attraction.
Why it’s listed
Sarma extends the Oleana Restaurant Group’s farm-to-restaurant model to a different format — meze-and-bar instead of full-service dining — without giving up the produce-quality commitment that defines the group. The directory lists it for the same structural reason as [[oleana]]: it routes [[siena-farms-south-end]] produce into a category-distinct dining surface, and proves the Sortun-Kurth chef-farm pairing scales across formats.
Bioregional fit
Somerville anchor inside [[greater-boston]]. Sister to [[oleana]] (Cambridge) and [[sofra]] (Allston + Cambridge).
