Yes, that Casablanca. The classic movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman was the original inspiration for this Harvard Square restaurant, right down to the 25-foot murals by David Omar White.

When it first opened in 1955, it fast became a beloved, if culinarily unambitious, American joint. After falling victim to urban renewal in 1990, it was resurrected by a team of investors led by Sari Abul-Jubein in 1991, this time with a menu including North African influences. Since then, the food has taken center stage at Casablanca, with award-wining presentations of sophisticated Mediterranean fare.
