Great, authentic Italian cuisine. The delicately fried squash blossoms were wonderful. Try to score a table near the kitchen and watch the 2 chefs work their magic. Will definitely return on my next visit to Boston.

Fantastic meal! Not our first visit and it won't be our last. Food was delicious and brought with a smile from our server, Nicole. Arugula salad was seasoned with a tangy lemon dressing that we will try to recreate at him it was so good! Both the veal dishes we had were outstanding, flavorful and cooked to perfection.

We did not give ourselves enough time due to traffic and other factors. Upon sitting down, we let the waitress know we had limited time. We placed our drink order and meal order right away. And then we waited. My son had to be at an event and we asked for his meal to be prioritized and come out first. And we waited more. FInally the waitress arrived at our table with another meal, not my sons. Why? This is the one that came out furst was her response....despite the fact that we asked for his meal to be prioritized. My son had to leave without having his meal and the fact that he hadnt eaten all day. It is true we didnt give ourselves enough time, and it is also true that the restaurant didnt show any urgency despite our request. And the restaurant was pretty empty at 5:45.
