Neil ThompsonOctober 21, 2015Everything that we tried was very delicious. Large portions and high quality for a very decent price. In a very interesting district, the North end. Would recommend, be sure to get a reservation.
Christine NicoleAugust 24, 2015Unbelievably good meatballs. Everything I ate was delicious. Went with a party of over 20 and not one person had a negative thing to say!
Gretchen MurphyFebruary 19, 2018Most dishes are made with homemade pasta - a sign of a genuine restaurant North End! Spaghetti con Polpetta comes with a huge meatball!
noelle murataSeptember 10, 2013Delish. All of the specials were amazing. Scallop risotto and a halibut/clam/muscle/asparagus/cherry tomato foil wrapped goodness!
Benjamin 🚀August 1, 2015Get there early for a table by the window to enjoy the action on the street...and a nice breeze to boot 😄🇺🇸🍝
Sal CatalfamoNovember 4, 2013Amazing eggplant parmigiana, meatball was delicious as well! Their tomato sauce is excellent, very fresh tasting.
Jennifer LouiseAugust 29, 2018Very fancy with great service. Small dining area with close quarter seating. Dinner was delicious.
Patrick RosenbaumMay 28, 2013Fantastic service! We were their first ever lunch customers on Memorial Day Weekend and had a fantastic experience.- Neil ThompsonOctober 21, 2015The vitello parmigiana was so good and it was a ton of food for a modest price.
- Alyx HeartcoreFebruary 20, 2012Try the caprese. Some of the creamiest mozzerella I've ever tasted. Lobster ravioli served in a delicious pink sauce was superb.
- Harumi USeptember 10, 2013Rigatoni alla sal. Addictive truffle sauce. Such a generous portion, I didn't order an appetizer (nor dessert) and still couldn't finish.
David AlmacyAugust 5, 2013Everything was delicious! Caprese, calamari, Rigatoni, Chicken Alfredo and Parmigiana.
Boston PhoenixJuly 20, 2010You can eat very well on the scallop appetizer, spaghetti and meatballs (try it, you’ll be surprised), brick chicken, and profiterole dessert. Good service but pricy, so maybe skip appetizers. Read more
Sofia PapastamelosSeptember 1, 2012Service here was great -funny and friendly staff. Food was delicious as well -got the seafood pasta.
My favorite North End restaurant (and as a 9-year resident, that says a LOT). Order the meatballs, they're the best you'll ever have.
hinyan wongDecember 12, 2015A little over rated. The food is ok, and you are fine sticking to Neapolitan dishes. Service is ok at best if a little arrogant.
ChristopherMarch 6, 2014Not worth it : although the food was OK, unimaginative menu and rushed / average service
S HAugust 3, 2010Gnocchi were tough potato balls blanketed in mozzarella. Completely lacked flavor. Had to wrestle "sauce"
