Sarma

A Somerville MA meze-and-bar restaurant in the Oleana Restaurant Group — Mediterranean-inspired small plates designed to pair with cocktails, wine, or beer in the style of a traditional Turkish meyhane. Co-owned by James-Beard-winning Ana Sortun (of Oleana) and chef Cassie Piuma, who blends Mediterranean flavors with global inspirations.

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).
