First time having dinner here. Let me break this down in few categories below: Atmosphere: Cozy. It's a comfortable small restaurant with a lot of charm. It's well spaced out and it doesn't feel cramped. The best seats would be closest to the action where both the Chef and Sous Chef is cooking your meal. It's a great vibe. It is a well oiled machine. The key here is team work.
Service: Was good. We were greeted by the Sous Chef, the Chef, and our waitress. Our waitress was attentive to the best of her ability as her sections were busy.
Food: This is the center piece of this place. The food is excellent. We ordered the Leek Soup, Meatballs, Rigatoni, and Paccheri. Each of these were excellent. Let's focus on the Rigatoni and Paccheri, the pasta was cooked to perfection for both of these dishes. It was slightly al dente. The sauce for the Paccheri was pure perfection. The Rigatoni was exceptional. Each dish had such depth and flavor. You won’t get tired after the first bite.
Though you may visually think these dishes are small but they are truly filling.
It is worth the visit. Highly recommend this location. Reservations are a must.
Just a side note: the restaurant lighting is a touch dim. Could use a bit more brightness.

This place blew us away. It’s a small, cozy spot, but the food is unbelievable. The smell of fresh bread hit us the second we walked in, and it only got better from there.
The bruschetta was incredible – the onions and cheese together were unforgettable – and the focaccia was just as good. Their menu changes often, but every pasta is paired perfectly with the sauce made for it. My husband’s strozzapreti with sausage was amazing, and my bucatini carbonara-style was rich, creamy, and perfect.
We even skipped the birthday cake at home because the olive oil cake here was too good to pass up.
Small restaurant, huge flavor. Absolutely worth trying.

I have been to this spot a few times and they have been very consistent on good food. I've tried almost all of the pastas and I also tried the chicken and I can honestly say I haven't had a bad dish from here. When people come visit me in Everett and they ask if it's any good spots in to eat here this is the number 1 place I recommend. It's a intimate setting not a huge place to dine but it's a cool atmosphere. Honorable mention goes to the server I forgot her name but she has blonde hair I believe she been great every time. Must try!

The way those huge windows open up is beautiful. It feels as though you're eating outside even while indoors. The way the sunlight dapples against the brick walls is an art in itself, and the open-air kitchen adds to the romance. The focaccia texture was immaculate, and the herbed butter to go on top was perfect. The peach bruschetta? Fire! We dined in for an anniversary, and it's safe to say we'll be together another 5 years. This restaurant saved our relationship!!! They also have plenty of parking.

We love this place! Each dish is unique and so flavorful. The tagliatelle is our favorite right now. Love the open kitchen so you could watch the masters do their thing. Amazing cocktails as well!

Unless you are a 90-year-old nonna from Italy...no, New Jersey doesn't count...you can't make Bolognese as perfectly as this chef does. All the starters are well-balanced and unique as well. This restaurant is big city quality in unpretentious Everett.
We came here tonight for dinner. I asked if we could come at 445 and was there was a reservation at 5. We got there a little early and I realized... Happy hour ended at 5. There was not a soul in the restaurant. Did they just not want us to order from the happy hour menu? Kind of weird. Since we were there are 445 I ordered from the happy hour menu anyway though I had to ask for the happy hour menu and the waitress was hesitant to bring it.
We ordered the focaccia. It had been burnt on the bottom. I could hear the expediter scraping the bread for a long time before plating and watched him plate it. My pasta was spaghetti, chili flakes, parsley. There was no parsley, it was so so oily and completely bland. I asked for pepper and chili flakes to try to revive it but it didn't help.
One of the chef's with long hair did not have his hair pulled back and he kept moving it out of his face and touching his phone and then touching the food. I really don't think that's sanitary. Can't really be doing stuff like that especially with an open concept style kitchen.
My husband enjoyed his chicken and the children's butter pasta that my kid ordered actually tasted much better than my dish. Overall disappointed and think that they could do way way better.

This is THE place to go in downtown Everett. The food is AMAZING and you can tell they put work into each dish. The staff is attentive and friendly, even offered us a small sample of wine that would pair well with our entree (she was right, it was great). The chef came out and shook our hand and asked how the meal was and shared a small blurb about how they made something. You walk into this restaurant and you feel like you’re among friends but then get served this Michelin worthy food! Best. Experience. Ever.
P.s. order the Focaccia!

First time in here last night Saturday 29th June, in from a very long flight. We googled Italian and decided to give them a try. The pastas were really good but the attitude of the waitstaff made us not to return. It felt like they were doing us a favor by eating there. No thanks. Too bad because the food was good!

The Pear salad was an amazing surprise. Fresh thin slices of pear with a fine dusting of cheese and pine nuts was a perfect start to the meal. The risotto was perfectly prepared, so amazing I ate the entire portion. Everything in the dish from the rice to the herbs was perfectly prepared. The only item that was 100% was the steak. Needed to have the fat edge either trimmed a bit more or rendered a bit more. The meat itself was well seared and so very tender. Absolute amazing service attentive without hovering and offered sincere suggestions
