The food was absolutely delicious but the portions were small and it felt cramped. If you are seated downstairs, you can’t get the cacio e pepe made at your table. There is also no dessert, but that’s fairly common in the North End.

Made reservations mth in advance for a birthday celebration. Place is very small, and very loud. The host put us at a table right next to the door and had it opened on cold wet winter night. Asked to shut it a few times. Space is cramped. The host asked the name on reservations 4 times even after we were seated. Tried to take a way a chair of one of our guests when they went to bathroom. The server brought out wrong food order and then tried to argue that is what was ordered....

It was good. A little tight seating wise. You can tell they make they make their own pasta. The cheese wheel was fun and the workers were friendly. They also brought my sister and the table all shots for her birthday! Very nice. My family was pleased.
