Been wanting to try this place and glad we finally did because we’ll be coming back soon. Came early on a Friday night (they open at 5pm) and the restaurant didn’t start getting packed yet.

The food was delicious. Small but excellent wine list, points for the home-made bread. Cozy neighborhood atmosphere. As mentioned, decor is kind of dated but service is friendly and you can tell they put their hearts into the food. Lovely old-fashioned family kind of place.

It was okay. Crab cake appertizer was pretty good. Shrimp and scallop pasta was okay. The creamy tomato sauce was the best part of the dish.

Nice atmosphere, fireplace. Cozy. Food was delicious, party of 6 no complaints. Pleasant staff. We got dessert and coffee to prolong the experience; we hardly ever get that. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food and excellent service. Not great ambiance, but the food more than makes up for it. Get the calamari.

Still just as good as the first time we went before the pandemic. Great customer service with an exceptionally attentive wait staff. Amazing tasting, looking and portion sized Italian food paired with some delicious cocktails as well.

Walked in on a cold and rainy Halloween evening and was greeted and walked to be sat, passing a warm and inviting fire place. Megan, my server was knowledgeable, accommodating, pleasant , and offered fast service. Went in for a quick dinner before a movie. The food was hot, fresh, and oh so delicious. The patrons were friendly and so was the entire staff and chef, who took the time to greet my friends and I and thank us for dining. I will definitely return the next time I visit Boston.
