10/10!! Such a cute place. Love the open concept to where the patrons can see the kitchen in action. Great wine and even better food!! We started with the herbed flatbread and the burrata appetizer. So. Good. For the mains we got the ricotta gnocchi and lobster pasta and the baked fazoletti and shot rib dishes. Phenomenal!!! Everything was balanced perfectly and tons of tomatoey goodness. A North End must!

Creative, authentic, delicious homemade pasta dishes. Best Spanish octopus in the city (w/ roasted peppers and potatoes), sublime burrata w/ roasted squash and arugula, don't pass up the flatbread appetizer.

Food was excellent. Great wait staff. A bit noisy - made it hard to talk. They really need a bigger restaurant. Food was pricey - but that is how it is in Boston and North End for the most part.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Both my husband's dish and my own were delicious! It was a lovely experience.

Carisha

Good food and service, but the loud environment and noise level was too distracting to provide a nice dinner experience.

It was epic! I had out of town guest and she loved it. My duck was scrumptious. Her pasta with lobster was wonderful and plentiful of lobster in it. Well worth the trip!

Louisa

Delicious! Really incredible octopus and the ricotta gnocchi was perfect and pillowy. Chicken was out of this world!

We sat at a high top in the bar - a little tight for space, but the food was delicious and our server was very friendly & engaging.,

Lorraine

Terrific menu options. The food was top notch - fresh ingredients, well prepared, well served.

The restaurant ambiance was a fantastic neighborhood feel. A refreshing change from the tourist filled establishments all along Hanover St. We were able to get seats at the bar before our reservation and our table was ready on time. The appetizers came out very quickly and were fresh and hot & the main courses were very fresh and well proportioned. The only downside was our waiter who, I have to say, put a bit of damper on the whole experience. He seemed rushed, annoyed and ready to leave from the moment we sat down. We were looking forward to trying Little Sage since it received a nod from Michelin, but I can only guess that our sever wasn't on duty the night the restaurant was shopped. He definitely put a cloud over the whole experience even though the rest of the staff were lovely and accommodating. We'll try again but will likely sit at the bar for dinner.

Excellent pasta and gnocchi. Sharply prepared as opposed to drowning in sauce like in so many local joints. Exceptional octopus and tuna tartare. Too bad service was a bit lackadaisical. Even the wines by the glass were good and not the usual ripoff. We'll be back.

The burrata with delicata squash was a delicious surprise. Get the butternut squash pasta if you a looking for a sweeter dish. Or try the lobster gnocchi if you are looking for something light but savory. Or split both like we did! Chicken was a standout like everyone said and the pork Milanese was also delicious. Also try the panna cotta. Service was excellent. We can't wait to go back!

Had an 8:45 reservation - we felt a bit rushed as kitchen was looking to close at 9:30; burrata/squash salad was very good as was the squid ink crab pasta and the lobster gnocchi. Nice energy in restaurant and good server. Would definitely recommend.
