Great spot. When I noticed that there wasn't any salt or pepper on any table,I knew the food was going to be very good. I was right. I know there are many very good restaurants in the North End, and this is one of them. Take time to try this place out. Oh, and the home-made cannolis... Forgettaboutit.

Made a reservation for four on a Saturday evening and enjoyed a delicious meal away from the crowded main streets of the North End. We were sat at a booth, which was comfortable and allowed us to enjoy a little bit more privacy. The atmosphere is lively but not loud, and the service was friendly. We were started off with bread and olive oil. Not sure if refills were complimentary. Normally I would ask but I didn't want to fill up too much stomach space on bread. We ended up ordering two Shrimp Scampi and two Lasagnas. I really enjoyed the Shrimp Scampi. It had more of a sophisticated flavor than the Shrimp Scampi I've had in the past, I'm guessing due to the use of white wine. Overall a lovely meal in a cozy environment. I usually dread facing the crowds in the North End, but I'd definitely come back for some delicious pasta in a calmer environment.

The food was amazing. The bread, lasagna, and caprese salad were mouth-watering, and we savored every bite. We were visiting, and we wish we had an Italian place with food like this back home. The service was disappointing. Very little effort was expended in this regard by the staff. The atmosphere of the place was very charming. The only thing that would have added a great deal would be some actual Italian music playing in the background; they really miss the boat by playing pop music.

While this restaurant may be too popular to be considered a hidden gem, It feels like one to me. The location is a short walk from the main streets of the North End, and the restaurant is easy to overlook- unless you are looking for it. This creates a wonderful secluded and intimate feeling!! l sat on the outdoor patio which has the most lovely atmosphere with the outdoor lights, classic red checkered table cloths, night breeze, and traditional chairs. The food was simply delicious and the service was friendly and speedy! Will definitely be coming back :)

First off, this is the cutest restaurant I have been to. It’s dimly lit, with lights, and vintage themed artwork over the walls. Of course, it has the red checkered tablecloths for an Italian vibe. We went here before a concert, and I was SO afraid of missing it, because sometimes places have slow service. We were in and out in 35 min and weren’t even trying to rush! It was perfectly timed. I was amazed at how great the service was. We ordered the garlic bread, which is super cheesy and delicious, along with the gnocchi and pasta ala vodka. I wouldn’t change a thing. The complimentary bread is amazing, although I wish I had left some to dip into my extra sauce! This is the perfect spot for a date night. Can’t wait to come here again and try other items on the menu!

We ate upstairs before a concert at TD Garden, which was within walking distance. Very fast service, good food from a small menu with very limited drinks. Only had 1 white wine, 1 red wine maybe some beers (not sure). Maybe that’s why they are able to offer such quick and efficient service. Good Italian food, I would go again.
