Excellent pasta & tiramisu! Espresso and cocktails were also fantastic. Great service. If I ever pass through Boston again, this is a guaranteed stop!

This is an absolutely wonderful restraunt and the staff truly care about customers like family. My family came straight from the airport at 9:30pm. I assumed we would be rushed to make it out by closing time- but not a chance. They were committed to a pace and tempo that emphasizes maximum enjoyment of each course. The steak and meatballs where standout--as the reviews predicted. However, the lamb chops were also delicious and should definitely get more mentions.
All that being said- my family was an absolute disaster. My youngest knocked over a full wine glass...and then vomited all over our table. The atmosphere is young and trendy, and I expected real disdain for these accidents. However, the staff was so kind and accommodating- they actually seemed to care about the well being of my child. Being from Miami, I don't know of any trendy spot that would have been so gracious. Thanks to this whole team.
Go for the food- go back for the food and the people!! 10/10

Amazing food and amazing service. Chicken parm with vodka sauce is a must (make sure to tell them you want it on the chicken and not just the pasta). The meatballs are also delicious

Amazing atmosphere in here, one of my go-tos in the North End. The owner is always present and making sure people have an incredible experience.

3 can’t miss menu items. Meatballs, truffle ceasar salad, rigatoni bolognese.

This is a small restaurant and we are at the bar. The food was beautifully prepared and delicious to eat! It included bread and olive oil. Order the meatballs. You get 3 and they are excellent. Lobster ravioli and the fresh fish were fabulous.

Tight space, pretty loud, but other than that a typical Italian restaurant feeling. Took a while for our server to greet us and begin service. Calamari & truffle fries for appetizers were tasty. Market fish was salmon - the largest piece of fish I’ve ever been served, and was shocked the price for this size (way less than I expected). It tasted a little bland, though. Overall would try another restaurant before returning here again (given the sheer number of options), but this isn’t a bad choice in the north end.
