    Just ok. I think it was a bit expensive for just ok. Not a fan of the decor.  It reminded me more of a Cuban restaurant than an Italian restaurant. Service was great!

    Aesthetically pleasing! Great menu but unfortunately the food was a bit cold. Drinks were great! Calamari a little too chewy… The waitress and manager were able to work with us on the minor issue.

    We went for a birthday dinner. We never heard of it before and just happened to stumble upon it on open table and made the reservation on a whim and were not disappointed. We will definitely be back! The food was excellent. The drinks were excellent. The service was excellent. I’m not a picky eater, but I do have high standards and it takes a lot to impress me. I have to say, this was all around, probably one of the best all-around dining experiences in the city that I’ve ever experienced.

    The food was incredible! We had the carbonara and the steak tips with Italian fries. Both dishes were only $20 and amazing. Staff was friendly. We will be back soon!

    Had reservation at 7:45, took 30+ minutes of additional wait time until we were seated. Food and drinks were outstanding, waiter was nice.

    Best Italian food we have ever had! Service was wonderful as well! We will be coming here instead of going to the North End from now on.
