Big things, little packages; you know the drill. And so it is with Ten Tables Cambridge, open today. We’ve got ten reasons to rip off the wrapping paper.

1. It actually has fourteen tables.

2. Chef David Punch will split his time between this kitchen and the one in JP.

3. Local, organic produce and an ever-changing menu.

4. Sausages made in-house using certified humanely raised beef and pork; house-made pastas like ricotta cavatelli.

5. The cafe space up front where you can sip a glass of vino from the extended list.

6. It skirted Cambridge’s no-candles law by crafting a warm, cozy glow with tiny, flameless torches.

7. Wednesday nights: Pick three courses for $32.

8. The gutted Craigie Street Bistrot space has new hardwood floors; big, comfy banquettes; and bistro-style sconces.

9. There’s a fryalator. (Say hello, steak frites.)

10. If you find yourself waiting for a seat at either space, you’ll be sent to the sister spot in a cab with your first drink on the house.

A gift in and of itself.
