I have never been so insulted by a bouncer. He was extremely aggressive and used derogatory language towards me and my friend. On top of that when we entered saw a cockroach run by the bathroom! Between service and cleanliness I will definitely not be back.

I stopped by Boston for a conference and just happened to find out this place across my air B&B. I order a pancake platter and meatballs. I love it! And the servers are really nice too. Katlyn and Matthias are welcoming me starting from the first minute I step into the property! I hope I will have a chance to comeback revisit it again.

Went here to a quick bite and drinks with a friend and it was pretty good. Expect a wait for a table as it's very small and busy but still easy to get a drink while you wait. Drinks especially martinis are pretty big as they come with a shaker with at least 1 more drink in it. Truffle fries and Caesar salad were delicious. This is a great after work drinks or casual hang spot!

After 15 hours on a train and getting in late to our hotel, we were looking for a place to get some food and drink, when we came across Anchovies. What a cool place when we walked in it was busy but the server and bartender booted us right away and got a seated. They were extremely helpful and explained some items to us and we had a fantastic dinner! The drinks were absolutely phenomenal, and they were stiff!!! No small half pours here! Wow!!!! We are definitely glad we found this place and we will probably eat here again on this trip. I can’t say enough about the environment and the food and the drinks and our server Peter was as good as they come! Would definitely recommend!!!!

Only have been here 2 times. Recently, then prior was several yrs ago. Ordered the cooked spinach salad w mozzarella, tomatoes...delicious. Also had ordered a pepper, mush, onion pizza; however came out totally wrong one w sausage and hots. But we were hungry so we didnt want to wait for replacement one. But it was ok. I will say it was a very, very busy there so the waitstaff did the best they could. Lots of locals go here, a cool, fun vibe. Id go back.

Loved it! It was crowded, but we got a seat with in 15 minutes. Food was great! This is one of my friends favorite places. Reasonably-priced too.

Tried the place out again, food was still bad, service was still bad. I said previously that they had the worst pizza I've ever had, they can add "worst espresso martini" to their growing list of accolades. I will probably come back, but not for the food or anything more than a basic cocktail or beer.

Always greatUsed to have the most unique incredible chicken Parm ever but they changed a few years ago and it hasn’t been the sameSmall place but worth the wait! People tend to linger at the bar so don’t expect to walk in and get a seatOther than the chicken Parm the food is excellent

What a nice and cozy atmosphere. Really not easy to find in the US. Easy to meet interesting people. Fair prices and knowledgeable service. Great drinks and interesting small (food) menue. We LOVED

Kitchen closes at 1:15-1:30am. Depends what day you go. But after a late night out and you want some real food not just pizza or wings...go here!

Used to go here about once a month with friends. Probably never again. Forget the super long wait for drinks. Appetizers came relatively quickly. I appreciate that because often it's a 50/50 chance of ever getting them. Four tablemates got their dinners. Me? Nope. Pretty sure the waiter didn't put my order in. With everyone close to being done, my dinner arrives. But it's not what I ordered. More time goes by. Same dish comes back served in a different manner. Waiter tells my friend to look around and see how busy it is. (btw don't order the calzone, they don't cook it all the way through) Should 've known better when we were able to walk in and get seated right away. Ciao.

Some waiters great. Some not. Recent waiter brought the check and then disappeared. We waited 15 minutes for his return. He was outside smoking, door open, smoke wafting into the restaurant. Just inappropriate.
