I found this place about 15 years ago when I was interning in Boston and I immediately fell in love with it. I found myself back in Boston and stumbled upon the location and was so nostalgic that it still existed. Went for lunch today and it was just as delicious as I remember it! I got the pumpkin ravioli with the sauce the employee recommended (nonna) and it was chefs kiss!!!

Delicious sandwiches and nice to sit with a cup of their tea and relax. You can sit upstairs or downstairs and relax

You cannot beat this authentic Mexican bistro it’s gourmet, but they don’t have gourmet prices. They make everything in house. You don’t have to speak Spanish, but it would probably help. Haha. The Mole burrito is my go to spicy happy. They made it through the pandemic. Some of us barely did.

Lady at the register will sneakily add 1-2 dollars to the already high menu prices when ringing you up. Good food and big portions but not worth having to keep your guard up for what should be a casual lunch interaction. Has been this way for years, only gotten worse since the pandemic and their failed second location. I'll continue to only go here when I have a craving I can't ignore.
Editing in response to owner (5 months later?): I actually said the food was very good, I'm not sure what the animosity is for. It's useful for other people to know to keep their guard up at the checkout counter even if I didn't one time. The price gets typed in by hand and happens very fast, I regret not saying something in time but shouldn't have to. Really, this place has high ratings already, I am only here to add context for future visitors and clearly am a long time customer. No untruths spewed here.

People at the front were very nice, but my chicken parm was very thick and tough. It seems like it was overcooked and not properly cut. The flavor was okay, but I would not order it again. Not worth $16 for the portion or quality.

This is a tiny little place off the beaten path and caters mostly to takeout customers although there is a small counter at the front for about 4-5 people.
They have a large menu and daily specials with everything from pasta to pizza to sandwiches. Tried the Chicken Parm sandwich and wasn’t expecting much since I came in about 30 mins prior to closing. Well, I was knocked off my stool with how tender and tasty the chicken was!! One of the best I’ve ever had in the USA. A very large sandwich costs about $17 and note that there is a surcharge for using credit which is appropriately disclosed at the register. Bread was a bit too much for me but definitely a damn good sandwich.
Worth a visit if you’re nearby.

A real Italian sandwich place, if you are hungry and around, go
Food is excellent. Every sandwich I've had has been great. Its consistent and high quality. Their bread is probably the best in the city. I usually don't stay there to eat-its small.

I really liked the service (the employees were nice) and the shop (small, but vibrant place in the North End). The sandwich I got was good for sure, but didn't blow ?️ me away. It's very possible I ordered the wrong thing, though, as it seems that this place has very high reviews!

I've never had a bad sandwich from this spot. They cut vegetables and cold cuts fresh. Grill the meat fresh. The cost is a little higher than other sandwich spots in the area, but it is significantly fresher in its ingredients. Go-to lunch spot.

I've only tried the steak and cheese and I must say, this is not it. Not only is it not truly ribeye, the onions are weak and the barbecue sauce does not go with the sandwich and I'm glad I got it on the side. (Not glad about the $16.99 price tag!) It's an old school barbecue sauce that they used to do in Kansas City Missouri ,(used for smoked ribs.) not my cup of tea, for this type of sandwich. I will return to try more items, but I will never get a steak sub from this establishment again.

Really great place to get fast casual Italian food for lunch/ on the go dinner! The special sandwich I had was delicious (eggplant one on Tuesdays). The bread was delicious and strong enough to hold the generous amount of innards that are given. Atmosphere is friendly, service quick, and prices are very nice! 10/10 would recommend!
Amazing!
