Hands down the best and most authentic Italian restaurant in the greater Boston area. Food is reasonably priced and they import 75%+ of their products from Italy. Service is great too!

Delicious Arctic char fish and nice patio to dine and chat. The one older Italian waiter will uncomfortably hit on you if you’re cute. But Luigi is fantastic!

Check this place out during black truffle season. Their specials such as their truffled pizza are amazing. Arguibly one of the best things I've ever eaten. Ever.

Real Italian food (ie no watery “pasta meatballs” and “pasta Alfredo”), appropriately priced, good-sized portions, and fantastic outdoor space. A must for those who appreciate Italian cuisine.

Great restaurant. Very good cheeses and fresh salad for appetizers, and amazing home made pasta. Very nice outdoor sitting. Can’t wait to be back.

Good pizza and bolognese. The grilled calamari app is awesome, very tender with a wonderful citrus dressing.

The food here is excellent. This is a diamond in the rough. It's hard to be disappointed ranging from apps to dessert.

Don't eat here if you want good Italian food. Not many choices on the menu, a little speedy and I got the gnocchi that was extremely salty and not very good!

Eggplant parm panini is outstanding.

Sit outside, great pizza, could have done without mediocre pasta and poor service

For lunch order up a panino with sausage and broccoli rabe! Read more
