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!
