Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Leather District

Food was outstanding. The waiter was really attentive and helpful with the menu, when he mistakenly brought us the wrong drink he apologized and correct his error immediately. The food was incredible and surprisingly affordable. The cocktails were outstanding and large, while slightly pricey; the wine selection and quality was quite good as-well. It is a small, close-quarters, restaurant, and the volume was quite loud. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the North End.

Always a great experience and dining adventure… Our server, Renata was exceptional! 

Dennis and Tanya were great with their service. thank you.
