Cold Food and Rushed Service on New Years Eve 2006 – My friends and I had a 10:00pm reservation on New Years Eve this year (2006). The four of us opted to order three appetizers and then split three entrees. The waiter pushed us to order the apps and entrees simultaneously, and told us we should do it that way because the entrees would take a long time. The apps came out in good time, but when we received the entrees they were were all stone cold. All of the food tasted fine, though nothing was overly impressive, and it was ... read more

Excellent all the way around – My husband and I dined there last night. We went late and were seated right away. Food was excellent, service was great. Well worth the price. Glad I read the reviews after I went, we had a great experience and would go back again.

Food is good but not worth the price or the uneasyness – Was visiting Boston for the weekend. Went with a party of 5 after it was recommended by a friend. Had reservations.

If you are a regular or a wan a be movie actor you might be treated ... read more

The veal was ok, and the "gelato" was nothing more than supermarket ice cream. The expensive price tag in no way justifies the meal. I hope I went to the restau... read more

Different from other North End restaurants – This was our 1st visit and we enjoyed it overall. I had the fettuccini with shrimp and asparagus and my girlfriend had the risotto fruiti di mare. We skipped appetizers and desserts and ordered wine with the entrees. The presentation on both entrees was excellent. The ingredients and preparation was top notch. The flavor and texture was very good on both entrees. We went early (Saturday 5:45) to avoid the long lines that everyone mentions. The wait staff was not overly friendly an... read more
