                                                          The entire small staff was superb. Friendly, accommodating, and just lovely people. The food was outstanding especially anything with a red sauce. We had our three young adult sons and our young daughter with us. I actually felt the meal was reasonably priced and not a city gouge fest. My favorite North End dining experience that I can recall.

It ia a small place which creates high energy and a lot of noise, but very well received unless you are looking for an intimate, romantic dining experience.

                                                          Massimo ordered for the table and it was the best meal I have had all year, many of his mother's recipe. Great night at a very special place

                                                          The food and service (and wine) were all great. The only issue was that my wife's dish promised the lobster meat from a 1 and 1/4 pound lobster and she is lucky if it was half of that. The table next to us had the same dish and noticeably far more lobster.

                                                          Massimo was great! Took the “Italian Ride” and let Massimo take control of our food journey! Didn’t even look at the menu and felt like I was being served at someone’s home. Outstanding! More importantly, saw another party drinking a bottle of wine that I didn’t see on the wine list. He said he has an extensive cellar and everything can’t fit on the menu. Told him the price point I was looking for and the profile of wines I enjoy, he recommended an amazing small production Italian bottle of wine that I’ve never had before. Served at the appropriate temperature, which is not room temperature that you get in most restaurants! Kudos to the staff and can’t wait to dine there again!

                                                          It was just “meh” can find the quality and service anywhere, but if you want to say you have eaten where a bunch of celebrities go to have their obligatory North End meal, this is the place for you.
