I had gone for lunch a couple of days prior and had such a good experience that I returned for more. This time ordered a pizza (pesto and burrata) and it was delicious. I am also a sucker for anything with pistachio and had the dessert since I had more time this go around. Though very busy for a Sunday lunch, the service was still excellent. A little taste of Italy in the middle of downtown Boston!

Excellent food and drink. Small but very well curated list of wines by the glass. Great cocktails. Food is consistently prepared with high-quality ingredients and cooked with expertise and care. Atmosphere is lively/energetic but still quiet enough that two middle-age people can easily hear one another talk without shouting. :-) A great evening out.
