   They kept us waiting for our reservation for 20 minutes, but the food was very good. You do not get a very large portion for the cost with apps, but overall very tasty.

   Food generally good but sent expensive raw veal chop back to return raw a second time. Then the manager explains there is apparently no way to cook it through near the bone which is odd because I’ve definitely had it cooked properly at Villagio in Boca Raton, FL!?!

   Server was less than accommodating. Smug, rude and not inviting. Do not recommend.

   I went for my birthday and it was delightful - they surprised me with a tiramisu! The spaghetti carbonara was great, and it was served in the pan which was cool. Will definitely be returning.

   I have been coming for years, and this experience has been enough to put me off from ever returning. In the times that I have come the food quality has been excellent but has recently declined over the past few months. Today, the food was served nearly cold (the calamari was nearly cold to the touch and the waiter said he could “reheat” it rather than giving a fresh batch). The service was terrible, had to call them over multiple times for drinks and when one of the guests at my table spilled some wine they did not even come over with a napkin. The food quality is not nearly as good as it used to be. When we asked to get a coffee with our dessert they told us we could not get one and if we wanted a coffee we had to walk over to the cafe next door which the owner’s recently bought but there could be no coffee brought to our table which is ridiculous. Will no longer be returning unless there is a serious change in management and staff. Also, to get to the bathroom you must leave the main dining area and walk through a service hallway and the bathroom is extremely cold as if there is no heating. Very disappointed in how this restaurant has changed from a boston classic to a subpar run of the mill overpriced italian joint.

    Cute little spot in the North End. Nice ambiance, great people. The service was fast and the food was great and hot. The bread was fresh. The meatballs were great and the lobster ravioli was the best I ever had! Would come back just for that.

    Overall the restaurant was good. The calamari was okay, I’ve had better. My husband ordered Gnocchi and thought it was good. I ordered spaghetti carbonara and I loved it. The sangria was very good also. It was a busy Saturday night but our waitress was very attentive.

    Food was absolutely amazing!! Best lobster ravioli I’ve ever eaten. Only downside was the tiny table. I barely had room for my food and drink. Causes me to order less food when I have no place to put it. Small venue, I get it.

    Very loud crowded restaurant with several big groups, even on a weekday. Service was efficient to the point of feeling rushed and food came almost immediately after we ordered. The food was standard North End fare, not especially good or bad. Overall probably not worth a repeat visit and not a place I’d recommend for a date night or special occasion; it’s more the kind of place to take out-of-town guests.

    Server came over and said our meal was just about ready, asked where our appetizers were and he forgot. My meatball had a bone in it and main meal was cold! My dad ordered an expresso and it came in a paper up with a plastic spoon… was horrified! I mean who serves an expresso in a paper cup with a plastic spoon???

    This place was highly recommended by a friend but I was really disappointed. The food we received felt overpriced and the quality was very subpar. I was also sad to see that there were no dinner specials or soup of the day. The menu was sparse and I didn’t see many items I could enjoy as someone who is dairy intolerant. I did my best and shared items with my family but we were all very disappointed. Our server wasn’t very attentive we often had to ask a helpful busboy for support. Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever come back.

    Definitely a great North End experience but was disappointed to find out they didn’t offer any dessert options at all. Never seen this before. Luckily there was a Gelato place nearby but random and odd. Their claim was that it was busy and they didn’t have time?

    I had the unfortunate pleasure of dining here with my girlfriend tonight. She is a local and wanted to show me the North End. I booked a reservation here due to having plenty of reviews. We arrived and were seated immediately. The drinks were good, the food was not. Both entrées that were ordered came out in less than 4 minutes. I ordered the Cacio o Pepe pasta. The pasta had an old and reheated taste to it and had thickening of the sauce as if it was sitting out for a while. The pasta was very hot as if it were microwaved and the middle of the pasta was cold. My girlfriend ordered the Mezzi Paccheri al Ragú. Her dish was also very hot on the outside and cold in the middle. It was bland in flavor. I sent back both dishes as they did not meet my expectations for a $30 dish. To add to the insult, both entrées were presented on a frying pan to give the illusion that the dishes are freshly made. The manager Mario argued with me that one of the dishes was not able to be removed as it was partially eaten. I spoke with Mario as I was approaching the front host to speak with someone as nobody was coming to our table. Mario argued with me that they have to cover their costs of the dishes and is not able to remove the entree. Mario spoke over me and I was not able to have an adult conversation with him. I promptly ended the conversation as I was not able to communicate with him. Afterwards, he removed the last entrée and I paid for my drinks. We headed out to another restaurant afterwards.
