My husband & I have dined here many times. Delicious Italian food and friendly staff. The owner is also always there to greet you when you arrive. It is a small restaurant on second floor, and has a nice vibe.

Amazing food and service. They sat us before our reservation a great seat by the window. The limoncello shrimp app was great and the pastas are cooked perfectly. Not a huge place with good acoustics so it is definitely very loud and the tables are close to each other. All around good meal.

We felt pushed into ordering the chef's menu. We went along, but would have preferred to make our own choices. Our bad I guess. Also, the waiter would not let us see the wine menu. Instead, he pushed us into accepting his choice of wines. Again, we went along, but regretted it afterwards.

The food here was ok, not worth what it is priced. The service was fine, we were moved along very quickly and were not allowed to order our entrees separately from our appetizers. If you are looking for a nice Italian restaurant to wine and dine with your honey at, this is not the place….

We arrived at our reservation time and were promptly seated by the wondow! It is a small restaurant, so expected to be loud. However, the seating is very close, and there was a large group directly behind us. They were cursing and making loud noises. I saw staff looking over at them but never addressing their rude behavior. My husband got the meatballs for app and said they were good. I got osso bucco for dinner and it was very disappointing. While the meat was tender, the sauce was just watery with tomato and onion chunks. My husband got the bolognese, which was just okay. I will say our service was timely and they kept our water glasses filled, but our main server came across as having a very disinterested attitude. Overall, it was a very disappointing meal and experience. I had been looking forward to trying Arya, but there are too many other great restaurants in the North End where you can get great food and a pleasant environment.

My table enjoyed the Fare Un Viaggio option which, as always, was outstanding! Massimo and his exceptional staff always provide a superior dining experience! If you want to enjoy an exceptional meal leave it to Massimo and his chefs with the Fare Un Viaggio option.
