   We have visited this restaurant a few times over the past 20 years and it remains our favorite. Excellent food, a personal and family feeling and a quiet, relaxing environment. Highlly recommended!

   Great service and food! A true North End gem. This was our fifth time dining here and will definitely be back. Good accommodations for large parties of 6-9 guests.

   Lovely non-fussy restaurant that does its best to deliver value. It's not high end, but solid Italian and affordable with hard working staff.

   Like most Italian restaurants in this area , the food is average . Nothing special your basic dishes. Service was very good and place is nice. Gets a little crowded

   Staff was welcoming and attentive. Food was hot and tasty. We were given bread which was good and service was fast enough, and good portions for the dinner!

   The upstairs dining room was very nice, but we were seated downstairs, literally in the basement. The mood was set to make you feel like you were in Italy, but we could not get past the overall look and musty smell of being in the basement. We went through a maze of rooms and tables before being seated. Personally, my first thought was that this is a fire hazard. The appetizers were delicious, main courses, not so much. The service could have been much better, too. We joked that we were in the forgotten room. Never had water refilled, and our waiter never checked on us after the meal was served. The table next to us had 2 meals that never came, and their waiter never checked on them, so we had our waiter get their waiter for them. The rest of their party had finished before they even received their meals. Maybe we would have had a better experience had we not been in the basement, who knows. Just be prepared that you, too, might end up in the basement instead of the main dining room.

    Food was delicious and the service was great! We had a baby with us and they were very good about putting us in an area that was big enough for a stroller.
