We had been once before, came for dinner this trip hoping it was as good as we remembered and it was even better so we went back for lunch the next day. The food, the ambience, the staff: we LOVE this place. 20/5 stars if it were an option and we will never return to Boston without this place on our schedule. Fabulous!!!❤️

The grilled squid and funghi risotto was delicious. I highly recommend the pannacotta as well. Great ambience for date night or a slightly more formal dinner.

I am European and highly appreciated that the food was really Italian and light. My branzino was truly excellent and sold at a very fair price. I also liked that there is space between the tables so that you can lead private conversations in peace. A very pleasant experience - I will definitively come back.
