    Outstanding. Exceptional. A Total Gem. Don't miss. The food was simple amazing. Terrific service, comfortable atmosphere. Everything we tried was so delicious, well prepared and presented elegantly. Unexpected to find such good pasta dishes on Moody Street in Waltham, but don't fight it - just go eat there. I can't wait to go again.

    Waltham gem for fine Italian cuisine in a cozy contemporary setting with pale blue and white decor, including professional and knowledgeable staff dressed in crisp, blue plaid vests. A polished, but nonetheless relaxed experience. Veal piccata,Red snapper and chicken Marsala were all delicious mains.

    Excellent service, food, ambience. The carpaccio, mozzarella, and bolognese were fresh and served at the right temperature. The wait staff and maitre d were professional and responsive. And the price was reasonable. Will be returning!

    Sadly we were not impressed! Hostess was not friendly… we had a booth by the door and spent the meal uncomfortably cold, hostess would not accommodate our request to be moved., her attitude was not welcoming.The food was ok nothing special… We have to give our waiter Christian an amazing review! He was attentive,polite and went out of his way to please!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with us didn’t meet expectations. We always want our guests to feel welcome and comfortable, and it's clear we fell short in that regard. We’ll be following up with our team to make sure every guest is treated with warmth and hospitality from the moment they walk in. Keep in mind we are a very small restaurant. We're glad to hear that Christian made a positive impression and provided great service—we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future on a less energetic day when seating is more flexible.

    First time visitors, we were very impressed with the decor of the place-sophisticated and comfortable. Our server was great. We had the shrimp appetizer, my brother had the swordfish special, and I had the chicken Marsala. All were delicious. We decided to get dessert, and the lava cake was excellent. Thanks for a nice experience.

    Excellent food and service, it's a bit cramped and loud.

    So happy to hear you had a great visit! It looks like you visited us on a Saturday. Yes, weekends are more energetic! If you prefer a quieter dinner consider coming in on a week night. We hope your next experience with us is just as enjoyable.
