    Every aspect of our dinner was great from my Negroni to the pasta. Solid, old style Italian food in fine surroundings.

    Ambiance is nice; we sat by open window on lovely sunny day. Music was odd, for upscale Italian restaurant, like 1980s rock. In our party we tried mushroom bruschetta which was good and eggplant rollatini appetizer was excellent. Our entrees were disappointing- chicken picata had little flavor and was tough, eggplant Parmesan was mushy and had little taste was thin marinara sauce. One person had a shrimp pasta dish that was very good. Waiter was nice. We were the only people there at 1p on Sunday afternoon. This was fine but probably better choices around North End.

    Food and service was great. Table location was not the greatest, but we made reservations late and can’t complain. Would definitely visit again.

    This restaurant was absolutely fantastic. The service was great! However, we were there at 4 PM. The food was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Took our 5 kids here for their fathers birthday. The food was amazing! Their red sauce is seriously sooo good, pasta was fresh and definitely try the meatballs! It was very loud so not great if you plan on actually having a group conversation. Only confusing thing was we were charged for soda refills? I wasn’t there to question that as some of us had to run before the check came. So just be conscious of that because it adds up quick with a big group!

    Normally rave about my experience here, was disappointed this time, I guess just a bad choice of a meal on a raging hot day! I ordered the scallop and shrimp over a pasta with red sauce and it was awful! Very fishy tasting, but everyone else had great meals and bread, drinks, dessert and service was excellent! Still will go back, just won’t order fish recipes again!

    The servers were all very attentive. The meatball appetizer was amazing! The dishes with red sauce were great! The other dishes, a piccata and a pasta in an oil based sauce were okay. We would go back but only order red sauce items. I did not appreciate the musician and wish they wouldn’t allow him in. We didn’t ask for him to come to our table but he was very loud and wouldn’t leave until we gave a tip (which he didn’t appreciate) The musician kind of ruined the meal while he was there.
