Amazing restaurant on the third floor above the Eataly marketplace, which is equally amazing. Everything we had was made from simple and fresh ingredients in a way that flavors were complex and unique. Food was cooked over an open wood burning flame as well. Our server, Edgar, was professional and attentive; he gave us excellent service! Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Boston. Bonus: shopping downstairs in the market where they have fresh pasta, aged meats, seafood, produce, and imported goods from Italy!

The food was good and spicy and a bit unique for the area. The cocktails were overpriced and it was way too loud to have a conversation. I think they need to work on the service as they try and push you out in 90 minutes but the orders take a long time to come out. The service staff was very nice and professional. I think they just need to work on timings.… And please turn down the music.
