    This is a busy, bustling place on a Saturday night but the despite the crowd it's still quiet and efficient enough to offer a very pleasant experience. The food and service are very good. Things come from the kitchen quickly and well prepared. The servers hustle around but keep track of what's going on at your table, so you never feel neglected. Very nicely done eggplant and chicken parm in generous portions!

    I got the bolognese and it was so salty it was almost inedible. I did not enjoy it at all. Calamari was very tough to chew aka not fresh. Skip this place!

    It was a very busy Saturday night. The atmosphere was run, there was live music and servers pleasant. The menu was great but the food itself was just ok- it wasn’t bad in any way just not particularly favorable which was surprising considering it was a fra diavolo dish. Others in my party also felt the food was solid but not spectacular. I’d probably go back if invited but likely will try someplace else the next time I’m in the North End
