Little Sage has quickly become a favorite. The food is creative and delicious. The burrata is a different combination, a mix of wonderful flavors. Third time having the chicken because it is moist, crispy skin, with an amazing sauce. Have zeppoles for dessert!! Fantastic!!

“Homemade pasta in the North End”. We wanted to love it but fell short. We booked a table for 4, were instead seated at a high top at the bar. We ordered all 5 pasta dishes on the menu— they arrived quickly and all were nicely al dente but only one was hot, the others were warm-ish. The disturbing cloud of fruit flies hovering on the wall over our heads distracted from conversation.

It was a great meal, highly recommend. Our table was in a terrible spot right in the middle of the room near the entrance, so there was constant bustling all around of people coming and going. I’d ask for a different table next time!

Second visit and again it was outstanding! The food is absolutely wonderful, from the burrata to the entrees (chicken and pasta with short rib) to the amazing zeppole dessert! Service was excellent, (happy to see a familiar Locale server again!) Would love to see a few nice non-alcoholic drinks on the menu.

Incredible meal, the squash blossoms and gnocchi were amazing. Some spotty service since it was our waiters first night. Dining room is much louder than the bar.
