Loved everything about it. Friendly, laid back service where I felt like a guest at a family place. Sat outside on a great little patio perfect on a nice night, a camber Salem street made it enjoyable compared to the hectic scene one block over on Hanover. Nice wine list and the food was excellent. Starting with the oil and bean dip for the bread, through a great “open faced ravioli” with fresh shrimp and scallops on a house made pasta sheet. Dessert was extraordinary. Will be back! Read less

This restaurant is in the heart of the North End’s Little Italy. I dined with some of my best friends here this past weekend. I have nothing but great things to say. From the moment we walked in to when we left everything from being greeted to leaving was perfect. Our server was awesome too. I had spaghetti with meatballs and it was the best I have had in my life time. Everything was seasoned perfectly including our appetizers. Will I eat here again? Yes! Absolutely and I will bring more friends here when I do. Definitely worth the 45 minute drive into the city to dine here. Read less

Ample vegan options and staff are knowledgeable (even the wines are labelled vegan!) Cozy, warm, romantic ambiance, filled with professional and friendly people. We were rushed out of our table as soon as we had eaten and paid so just beware of that. Otherwise recommend! Read less
I had the most incredible risotto I’ve ever tasted warm, comforting, and absolutely delicious. I’d return just to enjoy it all over again.

We ate here in April 2025. A member of our party of three made a reservation on a Sunday and the place was pretty empty when we arrived at 5:00pm. People came and went while we were there and it never did fill up. My partner and I both had the misto salad, which seemed to lack any sort of dressing. It was moderately fresh, the texture seemed like the salads were made ahead of time and refrigerated until served. I had the ragu Bolognese pappardelle, thinking it would be meaty. It was not. It was pretty bland. The server was pretty stingy with the fresh ground black pepper and rushed away from the table after a couple of turns of the grinder so I was not able to ask for more before the pasta got cold. My partner had the much acclaimed veal chop. He found it to be very tender and also bland, although he said the mushrooms on top had flavor. It makes a spectacular presentation, but the flavor was lacking. Our friend had the lamb shank which she reported was also very tender and nearly flavor free. Our wine was as described on the menu and we were content with our choices. We each ordered a dessert. I had the flourless chocolate cake. It was a thin sliver with what tasted like Hershey's syrup drizzled over it. Not my thing. My partner had the bread pudding. He reported that the bread part was good but the caramel sauce was too sweet for his taste. The restaurant does not have coffee or espresso, which would have helped us to cut the sweetness of the desserts. "No hot drinks." Food is such a matter of expectation and preference that all I can say is that this was not what we prefer and we were disappointed. Other diners around us seemed to be enjoying their meals, so to each his own. Read less
