Empty in Boston on a Friday night. Food was sub par and prices were outrageous. Food was cold pasta was overcooked and watery. Swordfish was sour. Scallops were sandy.

Went with my daughter after a show for a nice dinner. There were only three tables sat. Which is fine, but it took soooo long for our waiter to come back and get order. Hostess was checking in. Filet was not a filet. It was tough. Chicken and shrimp in my penne was dry and tough also. Pasta portion was yummy and drinks were good but way overpriced for what we got in my opinion.

It was totally not worth the price or experience. Staff was nice but for some reason we were the only customers on a Friday evening.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is very nice. The service was also good. However, my experience with the food was poor. I had dinner here as a member of a large group that reserved the whole restaurant. Maybe because of the large size of my group, I had to wait for over an hour to get my food. It was shrimp linguine, but there were only two medium sized shrimps in there ... But the dessert was good and not disappointing. I would not necessarily blame the chefs, who seemed working very hard to get the food to everyone as fast as they could.

Bad service, drinks are really bad, but overall not a good time. Not usually someone who gives a bad review, but this place was just not worth it. Pasta is 40+ and doesn't seem to be good.

It started off with a bad experience with the hostess. No keys. Finally a waiter came and was apologetic for now menus. Two waiters seemed to be doing everything with no help from others, including tending the bar. Food was only ok. Some dishes better than others. Our waitress was terrific but she had no help from the kitchen or other staff including that one appetizer was not available but she dint know until the other appetizers were already ready. Just disappointing experience.

The service was a little slow, we got our appetizers before our drinks. It seemed like they were understaffed though. Food was good, but I expected more considering the pricing, location and the reviews I've seen before booking the reservation. I wouldn't come back. I had high expectations that weren't met.

Lacking attention to detail, and just overall generic. We had an early reservation so the place was very empty for dinner. I arrived early and they let me sit at the bar, ordered a cocktail which was ok, but the bartender was pleasant and personable. We ordered a variety of apps, burrata, calamari and meatballs, all of which were fine. Not terrible, but nothing noteworthy. I ordered the filet medium-rare, and the meat was underwhelming and overcooked (medium-well at best). The staff was all friendly. They really struggled to get the lighting right, it was either bright, or nearly black. Back to my original point that the details were missing, especially on such a quiet evening.

Nice ambiance but thats pretty much all. Food was very sub par Italian unfortunately. Service was meh. Too many other great options in the area to choose this restaurant for your evening.

For a restaurant to be nearly empty on a Friday night during the holiday season, is very indicative of mediocrity. While the service and atmosphere were adequate, the food was poor if not unpalatable. I ordered the shrimp risotto. This can only be described as cafeteria food. Three little shrimps that had been frozen before they were flash grilled sat on a bowl of watery tasteless rice. How they could call that risotto, is a culinary insult. My husband’s ravioli was paired with a sauce that was closer to ketchup than to anything one can sauce. Never will I go to this place ever again. A total disappointment.

My wife's main course, a shrimp risotto, was a cafeteria quality dish containing 3 small shrimp recently frozen and flash grilled. My ravioli were tough surrounded by a weird sauce that was ketchup like. The restaurant was almost empty on a Friday night at 6:30, 2 weekends before Christmas, a warning sign we did not heed. This was an incredible disappointment and the restaurant needs to go out of business.

Food was disappointing. The bread simple and dry. The Risotto bland, without texture, the crab Ravioli overwhelmed by an overly creamy white sauce.
Only remarkable thing was the nice interior decor.

Never host a party here. They took 2 hours from the first dish to the last dish to be served.
