Really disappointed with my visit. I came here with my partner for our anniversary, and it wasn’t a pleasant time at all. We were seated immediately, however it took 10-15 minutes to be checked in on and to have our orders taken. When the food came out, it was heavily unseasoned; and partially cold. My biggest complaint is how unsanitary it was; the wine glasses were dirty, and they clearly hadn’t done the dishes before putting stuff out on tables. Make sure to keep an eye on your glass/tableware; I hope your visit is better than mine .

Elegant restaurant, nice ambiance for chatting. Tiramisu was amazing. Entrees are pricey and chicken parmesan was too heavy with lots of melted mozarella and pasta with excessive tomato sauce. I would maybe come here again for dessert but not for entrees. Street parking options on the street.

Name here
The food was okay. The service mediocre. We ate here another time and it was amazing. Maybe it was an off day. The girl was great with keeping our glasses full. Thank you for that. The waiter meh didnt even check to see if our food was satisfactory or if we needed anything. He needs improvement on service.

Wow the are no words that effectively describe how fantastic the food and service are here. The atmosphere was welcoming and very homey. Each dish was better than the previous which is pretty hard when you start at excellent. We started with appetizers eggplant rollantini and grilled calamari with arugula salad. The eggplant, thinly sliced stuffed with ricotta and spinach was top shelf. The grilled calamari was like no calamari we have ever eaten. Grilled, it melted in your mouth not chewy like fried calamari and the arugula added that balance. Our entrees were shrimp and scallop risotto, lemon chicken with artichoke and red pepper, homemade ravioli with meat ball and fennel sausage and scallops papardelle. The scallops were buttery, tender and all you did was squeeze it between your tongue and roof of your mouth and it just melted away. Everything was way beyond expectations for a local eatery in Newton. A very nice lady stopped by our table to see if everything was ok and we stuck up a conversation. Turns out she was the owner Anna. We now have a new favorite go to Italian restaurant in the Boston area. Also don’t forget to try the lemonciello. Top shelf. It just goes to show you that you don’t have to go to the North end to get good Italian food.

Good Italian food in Newton Center. The clam and shrimp scampi is the perfect size. The bread is very good. Lemon sorbet is large enough to share. The chicken parmigiana is enormous. Good service. The high top chairs are not comfortable so requested a regular table.
