    Our server was unable to take our order without multiple repetitions and questions - we didn't order anything custom, just items directly from the menu. The food was mostly edible but certainly not great and the bruschetta was poor (the restaurant did not charge me for the dish). Considering this is an Italian restaurant in the North End, we expected more.

    Everything we got was very delicious (chicken parm, spaghetti and meatballs, vodka chicken, lobster ravioli). Family friendly but still fairly quiet. Service and food was very timely. I just got back from Italy and I can say this place was very authentic while still being American-friendly. Would definitely eat here again.

    The food was quite underwhelming—bland and forgettable, with nothing that stood out

    Food was very salty. The first bites were great but the more we ate the saltier it got.
