My husband and I went for Valentine’s Day. They had a special menu. We had reservation and didn’t wait long to be seated. Although it’s a small space, it is warm and inviting. The staff was very attentive and we were not rushed whatsoever. The food was delicious, fresh and made to order. We will be back for sure.

Authentic spot. Aragosta, bread, dessert, and service were all great! Perfect cozy winter Italian vibe with slightly dim lighting. Parking on Shrewsbury St can be tough but it is so worth everything else!

Went here for Valentine’s Day. Got the caesar salad to start which was very solid, but had an unfortunately small portion. We tried the pollo (chicken) alfredo with broccoli and the fettuccine bolognese for our entrees. I preferred the bolognese, the Alfredo was more creamy than cheesy which I’m not a huge fan of. Pasta was cooked great. Like the Caesar, portion sizes were a bit disappointing for the price, but I don’t go out to eat much here so maybe that’s the standard. Overall good ambience and cute spot, would possibly go again

My mom had Went there last night 2/7/26 she had ordered the Alfonso with chicken and shrimp. She was told that she was going to be charged 399 per shrimp which was fine. She had told the person taking her order that she wanted six shrimp and was told how much it was gonna be and my mom said it was fine. Once she was handed her food. She had only seen four shrimp. She had searched her whole plate she was charged for six but was only given four We usually frequent this restaurant. It’s very upsetting to see that happened.

It's been 5 years since we've been here and I don't know why. We will be back very soon. The dinner was phenomenal, the service was awesome( the servers are clearly working as a team) value for the money is perfect. They had an okay selection of wines and my only complaint (which I didn't bother complaining because everything else was so good) was the atmosphere. The table area in front was cold. (Every time the door opened you felt it) And The bar area was loud with some obnoxious NFL fans thinking that they own the place. The noise level in the bar area was beyond the restaurant's control. I didn't complain then and I'm only mentioning in my review now, to remind people to sit in the back part of the restaurant to avoid the noise and chill. Again, the service was so great and the food was so awesome that it wasn't worth mentioning while we were there, but a casual mention in a review I think would save others the frustration. I'd highly recommend this place.

Excellent food! Generous portions. Vibe is long time family owned local Italian restaurant. House made desserts outstanding. Service for table of 6 was prompt and friendly. We had a 5:30 Saturday reservation with comfortable noise level at start. It was definitely louder by the time we left at 7:30 with the place being pretty full by then. We could still manage conversation at our circular table without shouting. Would definitely go back.

Service was good for how busy it was. Food was all bland, from the garlic bread to the entrees. Garlic bread was dry and $15? Calamari was cooked well, but bland. Entrees were all bland aside from the bolognese. Disappointing overall.
Patricia
Good Italian food. Clearly a neighborhood favorite since a lot of people in there seem to know each and appear to be regular customers. Service was great. Cocktails were excellent. Ambience was festive and lively for New Year's Eve. It was packed but turn over was efficient yet not rushed. Well run establishment with experienced help.

best pasta ever i will tell everyone the rest of my life
Had a wonderful time. The portions and food were outstanding. The waitress was amazing. We even bought a bottle of Caymus, such a lovely night out. We will be back definitely. Hopefully we will be sitting at the same table. There's a nice heat register that kept us toasty warm under the table!

Fantastic! From the food to the service, the experience was great! There are not many Italian restaurants in the area serving tasty meals like this. And, the portions are generous for the cost. We had plentiful leftovers. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Food was good, atmosphere was good. We had a large party for our dinner. We were seated in a place where we had some privacy. We were not rushed for the evening allowing us to feel relaxed and catch up with good conversations.
