Had an early dinner with friends before a Celtics game. Stopped at the bar for a bit before sitting at our table. Staff including hostess, bartender & waiter, were very friendly & helpful. Food & beverages were great. We especially loved the roasted vegetable appetizer & risotto. The wonderful waiter even packed a to-go espresso for me so we could leave for the game. Thank you! We’ll be back!

Great choice especially if you're staying at Boston Logan Airport where the restaurant choices are astronomically over-priced. Only a $15 Uber ride away. Plenty of vegetarian options. The garlic bread is amazing.
