Daniela FallasDecember 30, 2019The Quattro Formaggi pasta is awesome! Also Ricotta Raviolis were fabulous!
Chris O'BrienJuly 11, 2016The penne a la vodka is amazing. Perfect amount of spice and creamy. The chicken parm is also one of my favorites- Diana ArboledaMarch 21, 2014Small tables, big plates. It's a little cramped, but the food is really good. Fresh pasta is definitely worth the extra few bucks.

Chris BakerJanuary 2, 2014Amazing food! Stay away from the front of the restaurant during cold weather if possible - it's a small space and the hot air gets sucked out every time people open the door.
Alex LeavittMarch 25, 2013Amazing choice for lunch or dinner in the North End. Inexpensive and wicked delicious.
Charles BaltimoreJuly 18, 2016Going for 20 years. Got here tonight and the best cannalloni in Boston's North End and beyond is NOT on the menu.
