Food was just a bit too salty. Almost every dish we tried seemed over salted. Otherwise great flavors just lighten up on the salt a bit

Mangia Monday...What a great way to experience salad, bread and a variety of 5 menu items.....We were two couples and as "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" taste in the individuals taste buds....The four of us were truly very pleased with all our choices, with one exception which was the Gnocchi Cacio E Pepe....Believe me it is a taste bud thing....This place is a great restaurant with outstanding Italian food....Our server, Ian, was attentive and personable...We will absolutely return.

They inform you that food will come out at different times when you order but it was still not ideal. Pasta took much longer than pizza to come out and pizza was cold by then. Views of Boston from across the river are beautiful.

GRADY is the BEST Server I’ve had in Boston. Made my parents feel so welcome and special and he was over the top so kind, such great recommendations and as attentive as we could ask for. The food and ambiance is 10/10 but our server Grady is the biggest reason we will be coming back soon anyone who goes should ask for him and they will have an amazing time!

First time to this restaurant, fun buzz atmosphere, Grady- server was very professional & attentive. food was superb, cost was what you would expect to pay in todays market and waterfront location. We had two great salad appetizers, I had the Cod picatta, center cut, cooked perfectly, served hot- amazing layers of flavor. my guest had the Salmon, equally as good. So thankful also as we arrived 25 mins late for our reservation due to parking issues- note that for further visits. There was a great team spirit amongst the staff that we encountered. Thank you all for making our first visit so enjoyable, we will be back!

Food was excellent. I got the calamari and mussles for appetizerzs and it was gooood. For my main dish I got the braised beef but it was wayyyy too sweet. Drnks are great. Staff was very friendly and those views were breathtaking.
