    We loved the restaurant. The clams with tomato were too salty, the penne was a bit dry, the pasta with tonnato was delicious, the beans with tonnato was very spicy, and the calamari was ok. I’ll try it again, because the staff are fantastic and we loved the atmosphere.

    We had a lovely, attentive waiter. The apps, arrancini and salad were delicious. And especially the short ribs with polenta, soooo good.

    We were celebrating our daughter’s 21st Birthday with family. The food and ambience were exceptional as well as the wait staff. So much great food and drink to choose from in Italian fare. Will definitely return when we are back in Boston!

    Service is always excellent. The Kale Caesar salad and the Tri Calore Salad with chicken were both delicious.
