The service was thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered oysters—I like them briny and bare—but the cucumber foam on these sweet things was revelatory, very good. We shared the tart, which was fine, but the layers could have been more distinct or more flavorful or something. Squid was great with the two textures. And we shared the fish head, which was fun and delicious. Great sauce with it.

Modern Italian in Boston without the hassle of the Northend. Good food and great service. Save room for the Gelato (pistachio and salted Carmel) and the lemoncello cake.
