About this business

This Southern Italian favorite in the North End has been popular since it opened in 1931. You will spot the big, neon sign over the bustling scene on Hanover Street. The dining room is filled with tables, plush plastic booths, ornate posters and bright lighting. Hearty, traditional meals are the draw. Expect to see generous portions of spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parmigiana, lasagna and veal piccatta. No fusion is allowed, but the red sauce has something of a cult following. The restaurant also serves beer and wine.

We found a spot outside this restaurant and I called. A man with a very friendly voice told us to come right in. This was the best dinner decision in years. The nice man with the Italian accent told us his restaurant was the best Italian in Boston. Skeptically I said we will see. The calamari appetizer was light and crisp and the freshly baked bread was amazing. The ... read more

27 Years ago I had the privilege of dining here. I have always remembered the meal. I have always wanted to go back but never lived anywhere near by. Yesterday I was finally able to got back. WOW am I glad I did. Even though it’s 1 1/2 or 2 hours each way, I’ll be going back soon!
