We visited on a busy Saturday night. There was a line, even for those of us who had reservations, however, we could see that customers were finished, but just enjoying themselves and in no hurry to leave. Those of us in line started chatting and discovered that it was a favorite of the locals we were chatting with. Once seated we had a great table. We had several wait staff throughout the evening and we were well taken care of. Our dinners, both pasta, were delicious. Throughout the meal we enjoyed the high energy, our servers and the food!

Served us a cheap bottle of wine and charged us for a super Tuscan. Be sure to ask to see the wine list and know what u are ordering

Our Friends offered to call and talk to the owner, Franco, for a table on Saturday night in Boston. We were greeted by the owner, made to feel quite at home and started with some bruschetta. Followed it with the owner's recommendation of a nice Italian Red Frescobaldi, an adequate mid-priced red. We had lasagna and pasta with spinach and mushrooms, followed by Tira Misu. Delicious, reasonably priced and with the owner, Franco, constantly on the floor, the service was crisp and prompt. Will go back. KB Dave

Sat down my last night in Boston with my family to have a nice meal. Paid the bill and proceeded to find the restroom with my daughter. As we were waiting for the restroom, an employee rudely came up to my daughter and I and asked if he could help us. I let him know we were waiting for the restroom…. This man who was the same person that sat my family and attempted to take our order proceeded to roll his eyes at us and scream at my daughter and I that the restrooms are for customers only and we aren’t customers. Excuse me BUT we just enjoyed a meal at tour restaurant and then to be treated the way we were was plain AWFUL! Embarrassed is an understatement. Terrible way to end our trip.

Great place for dinner. Their menu was large with a good variety of fresh pasta dishes. The service was prompt even at 5:00 on a Saturday. The four cheese tortellini was lovely.

We enjoyed our meal here! It started with a warm welcome from the owner when we asked if we could dine without reservations (probably around 5:30 on a Tuesday night). He sat us at a nice table right by the window and some cute flower boxes. The food was delicious and the service was just right, and our family of four had a lovely evening!

The owner not really friendly told us to sit at the table in the corner. Before giving us the menus he asked if we wanted bruschetta, garlic bread or both. Assuming it was the complimentary bread we agreed to both. When we received our menu we noticed the bread he offered was $8.95 on the menu. They brought the bread immediately then we placed our order. Two of the people in our family ordered soft drinks. A waiter then brought the complimentary bread. Our food was okay but not worth the prices we paid. When we received our bill the bread charge was $12.95 and each drink was $5 plus an additional $5 for each refill. No where on the menu does it say the price nor the fact that refills are an additional charge. After we left an Uber driver warned us NOT to eat in Little Italy and suggested another Italian restaurant near the Seaport area.

Absolutely EXCEEDED all expectations for my daughters surprise engagement party with 25 guests! When I booked this with Franco, the owner, he assured me that he would take care of us with amazing meal made with the freshest of ingredients. I put my trust in his expertise and he certainly did not disappoint! Everyone had a wonderful time. The food was beyond amazing, and to top it off….an accordion player can in and Franco himself serenaded us!! It was like we were in Italy! I would highly recommend this gem in the North End!!! Thank you to Franco and his staff for making this celebration so special!
Perfect meal and and value. If you want authentic than this is the place to go. Great wine selection as well. Friendly waitstaff and and overall great dining experience.

Absolutely the best authentic Italian food I’ve ever tasted. Would 100% recommend for quality, flavour and price.

Fantastic dinner after a Saturday afternoon Bruins game.. the North End was crowded but it was early so most restaurants did not have a line. We got a warm--but not pushy--invite from the host (owner?) as we were checking the menu on the sidewalk and we didn't hesitate to accept. I've been there before and loved it, and this trip was no different. It was busy but the dinner pace was perfect. Excellent food and service!

My friends and I (6 people total) had 7pm reservations. We arrived for our reservation at 6:55pm. The line was out the door and full of other people with reservations. A bruins game had recently ended and the owner (who was hosting) just sat anyone who came in, completely disregarding anyone who had a reservation. The owner/host was beyond rude. We told him we had waited for over an hour and he just stuck his hand up in our faces, rolled his eyes, and was completely rude. We finally sat at 8:15pm. I was with multiple friends who have / are currently in the restaurant business, and we were blown away to be charged for every little thing, from the bread to a birthday dessert. I would never go back and would never, ever recommend this restaurant.

An awesome establishment, they welcome you in like family. Food and drinks were amazing. Very rare these days to have the owner greet you, sit you, and serve you. Make this your stop.
Great place to watch and dance
Good drinks and entertainment!
