Sarah MilesSeptember 1, 2018Amazing. Expensive, but worth every penny. Oysters, lobster ravioli, tuna steak, drinks, atmosphere...all great. Tucked away off the main street. Don't miss this one!
Niki BlakerJuly 20, 2017The food and ambiance were terrific! Great hidden gem in the North End. The only reason it doesn't get a full five stars was because out service was definitely a little spotty.
Angie OsmanskiOctober 14, 2015The crab cake for an appetizer is amazing! The truffle encrusted tuna A-MAZING! This place is pricey, but good.
Dan NahillJuly 1, 2015The seafood tower fantastic with various sampling of raw seafood (and cooked lobster) excellent taste!!!
- Jessica ChuDecember 21, 2015Food is pretty delicious, but portions are a bit small. Order a handful of oysters. The Tagliatelli con Aragosta is nice, but I was more jealous of someone at my table who ordered the Risotto di Mare.
- Steve MJune 3, 2013Great place to slurp down an oyster.The raw bar is the focus (and is fantastic), but don't overlook the pasta dishes.
Ashley MNovember 5, 2013The Wild Boar Pappardelle is on my list of top 5 dishes ever eaten. Indescribably delicious.
Kevin CoutuSeptember 15, 2015Warning: they do the old sparkling or still water trick, and conveniently forget to mention free tap water as an option
Kevin WangMarch 28, 2012I freakin' love this place. Can get crowded though. Oyster selection + pasta dishes are all unbelievable.
Adam SchilppSeptember 20, 2010The Lobster Paccheri is amazing and very reasonably priced (for lobster) if you're just passing by you can also watch the chefs at work.
Ingrid WongMarch 8, 2015Came here for Dine Out Boston and was unimpressed. The only highlight was their calamari, which wasn't chewy at all! So soft and the fried batter skin wasn't too thick.
