It's innovative, allowing you to savor exceptional red sauce alongside some of the most gourmet and creative Italian dishes you can find.

The wine selection was also fantastic, with our server providing helpful recommendations at a great price and excellent flavor. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Pure chance that we walked by and found the last two seats at the bar, the night was early. This was the Sunday of the Feast of St. Anthony and we totally lucked outwithout a reservation. The wine selection is phenomenal and menu is upscale Italian peasant style food. My search for Branzinobrought us here and that is what I ordered. It was a no-brainer as to our second entree, a fire-grilled veal porterhouse. It’sbeen a long time since I had a piece of meat this perfect and, demi glacé?? Wow! This baby was tend-er and melt-in-yourmouth. We devoured it and left nothing on the bone. (Is it proper to pick up the bone and chew it like a doggie? we did. Thebranzino was succulent and surprisingly rich. I substituted fresh spaghetti for the potatoes and had the bright and lemonypicatta sauce. Our bartender was attentive and professional even as the restaurant began to fill up in a very short time frame.We enjoyed seeing all the other dishes get brought to guests around us and wished we could have eaten more. We both decided whenin Boston this is where we will dine every night. Elevated Italian comfort food personified. A delight to the senses.

Staff were attentive and kind, moving us after a dumped water glass. Ambiance was perfect. Pricey butworth it.

We started with some fantastic cocktails, and the wine selection was reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the gnocchi Bolognese, which had a rich, meaty sauce, as well as the lobster fra diavolo. Finally, the veal Milanese was both crispy and tender. I would definitely recommend this place!

Although we forgot to make a reservation in advance, we were pleasantly surprised to find that they had plenty of same-day availability. Unlike the bustling spots in the North End, this restaurant offered a more relaxed atmosphere, and we were lucky enough to secure a private booth, which is a rare find in the area. We kicked off our meal with the antipasto board and a serving of spicy mussels, which paired perfectly with the wine we had ordered. The addition of chorizo to the mussels brought a delightful meaty flavor to the tomato stew, and we couldn’t get enough of its rich taste. For our main courses, we particularly enjoyed the fish stew and the veal porterhouse. The marsala sauce's deep flavors complemented the tender meat beautifully, while the stew delivered an incredible umami punch that felt almost too good to be derived from just natural ingredients. Nevertheless, it was not overpowering at all, and we polished off every bit of it. To top off our meal, we indulged in a warm chocolate bread pudding, which made for a perfect finale to our dining experience. Our spontaneous birthday dinner plan turned out to be a great success!

Their pasta could be among the best in the Northeast, and the prosciutto is unparalleled. If it's good enough for Italian mob bosses, it's good enough for me! The drink selection is excellent, and the bar atmosphere is lively if you can't get a table. Overall, it’s an amazing experience.

The staff is incredibly friendly and truly dedicated to ensuring you have a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend the veal osso buco; it’s absolutely outstanding. The saffron risotto and crunchy carrots complement the veal perfectly, creating an amazing combination of taste, texture, and aroma. Some of the pasta dishes are also spectacular, and the egg yolk and cheese ravioli is a favorite of ours. The drink menu features some intriguing options along with a solid selection of wines; I strongly recommend trying the espresso martini—it's one of the best I've ever had. The roast pork was tasty, and the gnocchi bolognese stood out with its great flavor and texture. If you're a fan of fish, the branzino is also quite good. However, the dessert doesn't quite live up to the high standard set by the main courses. While it's not bad, it definitely feels lacking in comparison to the delicious entrees. But don't worry—there are plenty of options in the North End for satisfying your sweet tooth!

Our waiter (gentleman with a dapper grey beard, who also liked motorcycles we are sorry we didn't get your name! made wonderful suggestions for wine pairings for some of the dishes we ordered. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, and we really enjoyed chatting with him. Our party also enjoyed the veal porterhouse and tuna steak. Everything was super flavourful and the portions were generous. You won't be disappointed coming here!
