    5:45pm reservation, promply seated. Dinner was really good we shared the stuffed meatballs (excellent) I had chicken parm and my wife had eggplant parm. Portions were huge. Service was great. Our server Filipe made an error on the charge, we pointed it out and it was promptly fixed. Great place for dinner prior to an event at TD Garden. A reservation is the best way to go.

    Unfriendly service. Food was good but served way too quickly. We finished our appetizer and the entrée came 5 minutes later, we felt rushed. Then we waited 10 minutes to get parmesan on our pasta and a glass if wine, the chef had to ask the servers to come do their job. The server seemed upset we decided to share a plate, he never smiled and seemed unhappy the whole time. Very disappointing service but the food was good thankfully.

    Service was amazing! From the waitress to the manager to the cook, all fantastic! The stuffed meatballs were amazing & my friends loved their meals! I wasn’t too crazy about the risotto scallops; personally, I didn’t think there was enough flavor, too many vegetables. Also the wine by the glass options could e expanded, but nonetheless an amazing experience & night!

    We were seated next to a loud group and was asked to be reseated. They couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating, wr got into a quiet little corner. Service was great. Food was excellent. Highly recommend and will be going back
