Our food was delicious just like every visit. I tried the lasagna for the first time and was not disappointed. My husband had the Chicken parm and both were amazing.

Nice place, with extremely fresh and well cooked fried calamari. However, it was a bit bland like our main courses. There was almost no garlic on anything.

The food is just great - the variety, the serving sizes, the quality and price are hard to beat. Sunday’s 3 course pre-fix menu is a great value.

Massive little league baseball team celebrating. So noisy that we couldn’t even hear eachother speak. Wait staff was amazing and felt bad for us and kept apologizing. Food was awesome.

Our server was excellent. He was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. My husband got the beef bolognese and he reported that it was delicious. I had a salad with grilled chicken and an appetizer of shrimp cocktail. Portions were very plentiful and the food quality was superb. We will return!!

First time there.. Cute small place on Federal Hill. The bread and oil to start was okay, not the best we had. Apps were really really good(Meatballs and Bruschetta). Our meals, Chicken Marsala and Veal Saltimbocca. Chicken was okay, your normal Marsala, the veal dish was to my palate not so good. Gravy tasted like something out of a jar from Market Basket. Didn’t have dessert.. Service was top notch. Will go back to try other dishes, and if not at least the apps.
