This is an overrated resturant and overpriced. The “share plate “ way of doing business shared with many other restaurants in Boston is a great idea for the resturant not for the people who are paying a full price for half of the qty. extremely limited wine selection and not very prestige list. For is ok .. some plates are better than other (frittura is deep fried and the plate seems big but really is very small with very cheap food… OK for a street food track but not for a restaurant . Pasta was pretty testy but not Italian (cook the pasta correctly ! .Bottom line $190 each for a meal it is not worth… I’m not going back. For better quality and lower price (or similar you can visit better places in Boston.

The location makes you wonder if you’re in the right spot and upon entering we sat at the bar and watched the place fill up. Attentive staff, knowledgeable and friendly! I don’t drink but the staff was busy making many beautiful looking uniquecocktails! Started with the pita, tzatziki, bean and red pepper hummus! Great flavor and delicious! Ordered the steak tartarewith the truffle mousse on top steak was finely chopped and delicate very flavorful, with a hint of truffles. Main dish waslobster campanelle. The pasta is made with lobster and the chili gave the dish a slight spice. I would describe the flavor asbeing light squid ink pasta was delicate, not too salty with a slight crunch from the olive bread crumb. I’d describe thefood, service and flavor as definitely solid though it left me wanting just a bit more wow factor of flavor. Overall a greatexperience. 4.5 stars if I could

Really a fantastic spot for dinner in Boston. Very nice, modern and comfy setting in the Design Center. Staff was excellent and attentive, drinks were well made and the food is best in class. We stuck with four small plates for two people and we’revery pleased! Will be back!
