   They bring bread and dipping oil when you are seated. The bread is terrible - like a cheap French bread from a grocery store. The highlight of dinner was the meatball appetizer. They were outstanding and the red sauce they were served in was delicious (along with the dollop of ricotta). The mains were nothing to write home about. I had cacio de Pepe which was bland and dry. My husband got the lasagna and loved it. The wine list is terrible (think grocery store) and the cocktails we ordered were sub par. Two singers strolled through the restaurant (unexpected and odd) and when they finished they came to each table with a bucket for tips and an iPad with a Venmo QR code. Go for the meatball app and lasagna.

   Good Italian fare in the north end. Reliable, and dependable menu. Sat downstairs, which can be noisy when full capacity. Service was really good considering graduation weekend and they were packed. Decor was ok, but foodies may want more upscale with linen table cloths etc. Not a quiet date night atmosphere. Was a perfect place for our party of eight that were celebrating.

   this was a great time! It was my birthday and 7 of my friends and I got together. Service was quick, food was amazing, and the drinks were good too! It was a little crowded and loud, but nothing that ruined the night for us

   With so many options in the North End we definitely will not return to this cluster mess of a restaurant. Upon arrival we were seated at a table quickly but after 17 minutes with no waiter service we had to get up and find the host (who was outside smoking a cigarette) and inform him we’ve been sitting for 17 minutes with no service. Soon afterwards a waiter came to our table and seemed disinterested to serve us. Food and drink order was placed, food came out quickly, no follow up from the waiter after the food was delivered and then after 20 minutes we needed to flag the waiter down to get our check. Check delivered was the wrong check so again we needed to flag down the waiter to correct the situation. Overall it was an awful dining experience and while the food was decent the service and attention provided to us as customers didn’t not even warrant a tip. Keep expectations low if you go to this restaurant.

   We always love coming here. Their special antipasto is the best! They do not rush you out.
