I can't recommend – I gave it 1 star to try and bring the 5 star average down. Otherwise I would have given it 3 stars, because the atmosphere was good (if you can ignore the drop ceiling), the people very friendly, portions generous and the lamb almost perfect. The bread is not good - almost like wonder bread. It always surprises me in this day and age that restaurant owners still can't tell the difference between quality artisan bread, and wonder bread. I find it embarrassing. The salad was pretty bad - very tough leaves, ... read more

good food in the neighborhood – The dishes at this neighborhood italian restauarnt showed a surprising amount of variety for such a small place. While the dishes were solid and a grade above the usual "red sauce" italian joints such as vinny testa's the dishes did show any new ideas or originality. One annoyance was that they did not offer comlimentary tap water. If you want water you must pay $5.50 for a bottle of imported mineral water.

I Can't Believe I'm Telling You About This Gem – I'm only writing this because the owners & staff here are so phenomenal, and I want them to do well. If I was a little more selfish, I'd just keep this to myself. My wife & I have been going here since they opened, and it's only gotten better & better. The staff is great, it's cozy, and the food, ai-yi-ai, the food - I don't even know what to recommend, it's all great. Their soups are out of this world.

Great neighborhood restaurant – We love this place. A small restaurant in the Nonantum village. They are good in sea food, salad, risotto, and devine dessert. Sometimes the pork dishes are dry, but other than that they have never dissappointed us.

Friendly and satisfying – I've been to this restaurant many times, and never had a bad meal. The specials are always good and the staff makes great wine recommendations. While the prices are not cheap, it's worth every cent. I would opt for the homemade tiramisu for dessert, and the rolled eggplant as an appetizer
