Excellent Italian restaurant in the heart of the North End. They have tables on the main floor and upstairs (which seems to be a little cooler).
Started with the zucchini flower with ricotta cheese as an appetizer.
Then had the tuna and the chicken Parmesan. Both were excellent. You really need to try their pasta which was why I had the parm.
They have a large selection of Italian wines.
A very worthwhile restaurant.

Food was mediocre. Lobster ravioli was drowned in acidic tomato sauce and not worth the price. The chicken Parmesan was nothing to write home about. Both pastas were more al dente than I wanted. The chocolate lava cake and the cocktails were the best parts of the meal. Paulo the server was fantastic though.

The service was excellent, the atmosphere was nice, but the food was just okay... Not quite good enough to justify the high prices or set itself apart from the other excellent options in the neighborhood.
