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.

Stopped in after wandering the North End. First time for us and what a delightful, charming restaurant. Beautifully laid out, good music, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and yet so professional. Lunchtime so I had the calamari & pasta while GF had it with mussels! It was sooo delicious. We were very pleased and put it into our have to visit again places.
