What People Are Saying
from Google"We visited this resterant in the North End last night before the Andrea Bocelli concert, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The restaurant is small and intimate—maybe 20 seats at most—but beautifully decorated and incredibly inviting. Now, the food… absolutely outstanding. I’m very picky about Chicken Marsala because not everyone can make it well, but theirs was amazing. Truly, words can’t express how good it was. The Caprese salad was the perfect start—simple, fresh, and just enough. The atmosphere is unbelievable: cozy, warm, and romantic without being too quiet. It feels like you’re sharing a meal in a room full of family. The staff? Wonderful—attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Five stars all the way. A perfect date-night spot, and a place we’ll definitely return to."
"Beautiful tucked away restaurant on Hanover Street. Small dining room that’s very cozy and great for a night out for 2. Service was speedy. They have very creative pizza dishes! Recommend the Carbonara Pizza or a pizza as an appetizer (flat bread, toasted to perfection, very fluffy dough). Chicken Parm was amazing for dinner!"
"I was walking through the North End and stumbled upon this little restaurant by chance — and I’m so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, the staff is super friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything felt fresh and made with care. It’s one of those hidden gems that make you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!"
"Small place but great atmosphere. Went on a Wednesday at 8pm. Was full. So a reservation helped. Antipasto starter was shared and fantastic. Chicken parmigiana also great. Linguine in white wine was disappointingly a bit bland so dropped to a 4* overall. Tables are round and small so parties over 2 may want to think"
"We went here for dinner and had some drinks and apps. Everything was going well it’s a cozy spot! My friend did ask for a vodka soda but they said they couldn’t make that which was confusing since they have a cocktail menu. However, when we went to order dinner we were informed we couldn’t because the kitchen was closed. Never were we asked if we were going to order entrees or given any type of warning by our waitress that the kitchen was closing soon. We were offered no help or suggestions by anyone….very disappointing to go somewhere for dinner and then be told you can’t be served dinner."
