    Hands down the best meal I've had in the North End. Even the "simple" insalata mista was elevated into an experience (not what my nonna would have called a mista), and the pappardelle cinghiale was incredible. Even the bread was excellent and the selection of spreads and balsamic difficult to choose between. The restaurant is a bit of a tight squeeze and was very busy, but the staff was very attentive and overall the service was top notch.
