If you enjoy food…and people…and appreciate the passion that went behind curating a perfect seasonal menu, do not pass this up. This is an 8 (ish) table indoor establishment with an outdoor area as well. The staff is perfectlyattentive. The hot/cold plates are small and as they suggest, you should get 3-4 per table for just two people. The flavors areimmense and not quickly forgotten. This will be the best meal you’ll ever have. That statement deserves a period. And, not tobe forgotten, we enjoyed the bustling atmosphere and closeness to your neighboring tables that left you with friends who youbonded with over experiencing the same unique slice of this beautiful, somewhat touristy town . I’ll be dreaming of the day Iget to return to this restaurant again. You’re doing everything right. Thank you.

My friends and I stayed in Salem during the weekend of the Boston Marathon and came across this place as we were exploring town. We didn’t have a reservation but went around 9pmon a Saturday and they were so flexible and accommodating. The food was unbelievably delicious and would have eaten there twodays in a row if we did not have other plans. The pesto-based pasta was hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had and beat someof the pastas i had in North Boston throughout the week. The chefs and hosts even went out of their way to provide an amazinglist of food recommendations in Boston for us to visit. I will go out of my way to come here next time I visit the Boston area!

We went here after reading several great reviews and it surely was what everybody was saying. The food was incredible. My wife and I had the muscles and burratta for appetizers both were packed with flavor and very fresh. Forentrées we had the chitarra and bucatini. The chitarra was had a great depth of flavor and a nice kick of heat and my wife’sbucatini the bolognese was super rich and made the dish! Cause they were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions with noissue! Would highly recommend anyone coming to Salem to try them out!
