Delicious espresso martinis and great Italian food
The staff is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The ravioli di ricotta was amazing (though the sauce was somewhat too salty)! It’s a great little spot especially when the accordion doors are open in the warmer weather.Parking: It’s located on the busy Hanover Street so it may take some time to find parallel parking.

I need to know how they make this red sauce for the Ravioli. It was so delicious I used the bread to eat every last drop. My group of 17 came in unexpectedly and we were seated, fed, and out the door in less than 30 minutes. Very shocked at the quality and quickness of the staff. I will return if I am in the Boston area again.

Calamari-was not the best, the batter keeps falling apart and the sauce was not that great. I like my calamari with white sauce usually.Carbonara pasta with chicken- was delicious. Full of flavor and the chicken was so CRISPY. Mmm it was so good my friend kept eating my pasta?.Cheese ravioli- was a bit too hard, it could have been a bit softer in my opinion. My friend said it was ok definitely not as good as the carbonara.Our server was very nice and attentive. Although we didn’t get his name. He served us well. It was actually pretty busy in here compared to the restaurant next door. It is very spacious for the North End. Has another room right when you walk in too. I would definitely come back and try the tortellini pasta next time.Note: i just witnessed a waitress coming out of the women’s restroom stall not washing her hands and leaving the bathroom! Disgusting! She was a waitress at this restaurant too! ??. If you work with food please dont forget to wash your hands. Even if you are just opening the bathroom stalls and not using the toilet you still need to wash your hands ??

3/31/24 Visit--Wonderful restaurant in the North End of Boston. We were seated right away. The staff was friendly and attentive. Started with the cold antipasto platter. Eggplant caponata , sauteed broccoli rabe, sauteed escarole, roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella, mushrooms and zucchini. The chicken parmesan was cooked to perfection and the Cacio pepe may have been the best I've had. Fresh parmigiano with black pepper, fantastic! Additionally, the penne Amatriciana (pancetta,onions and tomato) and the Ravioli with wild mushrooms and black truffle cream were also great. Totally pleased and we will be back again.2018 --For a busy place, the food was excellent along with the service. Veal milinase, gnocchi were fantastic along with the meatball appetizer that was off the charts good.

Amazing food and service! I went with my boyfriend for our anniversary. Drinks, charcuterie, and pasta were all delicious. A bit loud, and we were sat right next to the kitchen in the back but it’s okay we still had fun.

Overall delicious food and enjoyable experience. I especially enjoy the gnocchi dish and cacao e pepe but everything was really good. The atmosphere was great for both serious occasions and friendly hangouts. The staff were friendly and took great care of us. Personally, I would recommend family style for those don't mind so you can try more dishes in one go.Vegetarian options: A good amount of delicious dishes are vegetarian.
Fabulous Italian food, but way too crowded. Extremely loud. Filled with obnoxious people. Drinks were not good. Not a quiet relaxing restaurant. So many other places nearby to choose from. This restaurant is just a tourist attraction.

We stopped in here for lunch on a whim. Food was very good. Higher quality and portions were good (enough that you were full without being stuffed).
