The LINGUINI FRUTTI DI MARE was Boston North End Italian worthy. Service was excellent. Other Entrees good but the standout was the Linguini. I would definitely come again.

I was unhappy with my main course, Mongolian Beef. It was dry. The meat was dried out not moist and tender as Mongolian Beef should be. The sauce was salty.
