   Overall, very good. Everything tasted great and the place is really nice. Only complaint, the short rib was delicious ... but the portion was SMALL for the price. Otherwise, it gets 5 stars!

   Good service and the food was excellent. My only complaint? It was almost closing time, so the kitchen staff wasn't busy. However, we could hear them talking loudly amongst themselves in Spanish. That alone isn't an issue, of course, but as a fluent Spanish speaker, it bothered me that they were joking with each other while cursing loudly in Spanish. I can only assume that they assumed no one understood (or cared) about what they were saying, but it just felt jarring to hear, when you're having conversations at the dinner table with your fellow guests, and you understand perfectly what they were talking and cursing about. Needless to say, it just seemed to detract from the quaintness of the place and the level of service we received from the wait staff.

   $1 oysters, very good.. meals were disappointing. Chicken parm was water logged in bad sauce. The chicken piccata was sitting in oil. Bad night.

   I’ve been to this restaurant quite a few times and it never disappoints !! The service is outstanding and the food is always consistently very good.  It has a very nice vibe and great atmosphere.

   One of my favorite resteraunts in Boston. Always reliable. Portions seemed a little light on calamari albeit was delicious. Arancini with braised short rib was tender and tasty. All entrees very good. Love the atmosphere, always a full glass of water. Waitresses very attentive. Always on my go to list!

   What a GREAT meal! My husband and I had been there on a date years ago when we first started dating. I’m happy to report after years of not being there the food was fantastic! And our server was amazing. My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised at how good everything was.
