We had Caesar salad, meatballs and the garlic bread as an appetizer. All were good. Nothing really special, but decent. We ordered the lasagne for our meal to share. The lasagne was supposed to have short rib in it. Instead, it seemed just like sausage. The portion was small for $30 and it was relatively flat for lasagne. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t what we were expecting and again nothing special. Disappointing given we were expecting short rib. We probably won’t return.

Decided to give Tony and Elaine's a try after many trips to the North End and many good meals at a few other places. Wish we had done it sooner. Food was fantastic! We were a party of four. Shared arancini, meatballs, calamari for appetizers. We each got something different for diner. Spaghetti and MB, Gnocchi with vodka sauce, lasagna, and eggplant parmesan. Everything was delicious. Gnocchi was unbelievably good. Very soft and prepared very well. Atmosphere was outstanding. Very old school traditional Italian with checkered red and white table cloths and interesting decor. If we had any critique it's that the service was just okay. Front of house seems to be a little young, and without a ton of guidance. Service wasn't bad, however, no one was going above and beyond. We will be back! Thanks for a great meal.

Group of 6 ate here before Celtics game and everything about it was just perfect! Food was amazing - spaghetti and meatballs (marinara and vodka sauce were excellent), chicken Marsala was amazing. Service was quick and attentive - and vibe was the best mix of authentic family Italian. Highly highly recommend!
