    I have dined here several times. Every single time was excellent! I went last night to celebrate my birthday. The staff is wonderful and attentive, and the food is amazing! Can't say enough about this place. It is my top favorite place. And I live in Waltham, so it's pretty convenient too. It's like dining in the North End without the hassle of traveling all the way into the North End. And parking is easy if you dine early (5 pm) - dedicated for Vinotta in the back of the building. Thank you to the staff and chefs - a wonderful dining experience, every time!

    Outstanding service and excellent food. The chef was kind enough to accommodate a special request from a member of our party. Lovely restaurant. The only drawback was that it was a bit noisy. Overall, we loved it. There is a private dining area upstairs.
