Sacco's Bowl Haven has operated as a candlepin bowling center since 1939, when Ralph Sacco opened it in Somerville. The space retains its retro bowling alley character while now housing a wood-fired pizzeria and a bar that runs the length of the lanes. The combination draws families, league bowlers, and people looking for an evening outβthe venue also hosts events and weddings. The alley's long history includes hosting bowling leagues and tournaments, and it carries some local lore about its past as a mob hangout and reports of hauntings.
