The calamari is very fresh, grilled with potatoes and string beans - delicious! Had baked hake fish over mixed vegetables with prosciutto on top that was to die for. Our server, Ghent, was wonderful.

Italian-born master chef Marisa Iocco (of Mare) now works there and you have to try some of the small plates of pasta (perfectly al dente)- like the vegan raviolotti, or chittara amatriciana. Read more

Sausage and polenta, pork chops with potatoes and vinegar peppers, veal parmigiano, and Sunday gravy." Sounds a lot more fulfilling to the palate than some red sauce on a pile of melted cheese. Read more

This has been a favorite since won a gift certificate. Charles Laquidera gave it WBCN back in the 80's. They used to pick you up in a limousine. The little table in the corner used to be #21.

This restaurant was a pleasant choice. Arrived after lunch rush and service was still a bit slow. The food was however, better than average- even the glutten free penne pasta dish I had!

It is great. I'd you are looking for a casual lunch spot on the freedom trail with reasonably priced food that feels authentic.

North End traditions, from Sinatra to red sauce, are spiffed up and supplemented with a killer eggplant Napoleon and specials like osso bucco on risotto. Read more

Worst Italian food I ever had. Their four cheese pizza is like a grilled cheese(more like a melted Monterey jack) the lasagna is like what I would get in a corner deli. To top it off it's over priced.

Un excellent reste typiquement italien. Les gnochis et la lasagnes a se rouler par terre! Parfait pour un souper romantique en amoureux.
