We walked in on a Friday night with no reservation. We probably got the worse seat in the place which was downstairs but everything else was so great we over looked it. I'm gluten free and they had gluten free pizza and pasta and they said they could taylor any of their recipes. That was awesome. I had the best chicken picatta ever! Little sad the didn't have a gluten free vodka or desert. My sister loved the terimisue and her meal. Our waitress was very nice. We will def be back.

We came on nice summer day when all the folding window-walls were open. It was very comfortable place to be. The restaurant was busy, but fortunately did not have long lines like some others in the area. The Saint Agrippina pizza was very good, and the kids enjoyed the cheese pizza and penne with meatball from the kids menu. The tables are pretty crowded together, but the staff seems to be able to move smoothly through the crowd to serve everyone. Our servers was pleasant and efficient.

I ate as a single at the bar. I had come for the lobster ravioli, which was good but I was blown away by the pasta fagioli soup. I would return just to eat that again. This place felt like a small very friendly neighborhood restaurant (I was channeling the Olympia Dukakis character in Moonstruck).

We are calamari aficionado and this is hands down the best we’ve had. US, coast to coast. Even the calamari we had 2 hours later down the street didn’t compare. The atmosphere with the open window walls and the chill, polite staff was an awesome way to spend a perfect evening in Northend. We were there for drinks and apps, but the dinner at the table next to us looked great.

We stopped by after a day of shopping at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. The wait at the time we went was only about ten minutes for them to set up a table. Our meal consisted of Chicken Penne Broccoli with cream, Bencotto Panino, Misto Di Pesce, Bruschetta and Pumpkin Ravioli. The food was flavorful. I would advise you triple check if you have an allergy before ordering the ravioli since it’s not made in house. Even after we advised there was a tree nut allergy at the table we were told the ravioli was safe. Then we were told they use amaretti cookies in pumpkin ravioli AFTER the food was delivered and the person almost ate it. This could have been prevented if the waiter let us know before we ordered as this could have been a very bad situation.

This place is small and usually really crowded so I’ve never tried it but I went yesterday for an early lunch and it was great! The Paul Revere pizza was so good and I especially recommend the pumpkin ravioli! The sauce they make it in is SO good, I want to go back just for this dish! My mom and aunt also really enjoyed their pistachio martinis!

From entrance to exit, the staff was warm and welcoming.  Our server Anthony was great, and the food was delicious. Thank you for accommodating our gluten-free request and suggesting a better pizza option based on this. The beet/ goat cheese salad and Alfredo pizza was delicious and enough for two.  Appreciated the kitchen's handling of a GF pizza. Cooked on a separate platter to avoid cross contamination. The restaurant itself had a neat little bistro vibe.....tables close . One suggestion. Please avoid serving drinks with your fingers at the rim of the glass... Basic 101 food handling. Also, please avoid bringing table settings under your arm pit Mr busboy..😔 Otherwise, I would highly recommend it!

Beautiful open windows allowed the cool breeze to come in and cool us off on this hot day full of walking! Convenient location and great atmosphere. I ate lunch here with my husband and young daughter and we all enjoyed our meals.

Lots of options, including gluten free options. Service was pretty friendly. The place was packed for a Sunday night but we were taken care of nicely and the service was pretty timely. Good reviews all around on the food.

Awesome place! Food was incredible and the service was just as great! Our server Jenn was not only knowledgeable about the menu, but recommended other things that narrowed down our selection. She was also very attentive and friendly. My girlfriend and I happened to stumble upon this place but I would recommend it to anyone. Great, authentic Italian food and a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The lobster raviolis are out of this soiled as a suggestion.

Walked in on a weeknight after we missed our reservation at a different restaurant. Honestly happy we missed it. The food was delicious and service was impeccable. Our waiter even gave us complimentary limoncello shots before we left!

We had a great experience in this place! We ended up here just randomly, we had 2 strollers (with kids sleeping) and we were turned away by a couple of places because of it. But we came to this amazing place and they changed our day! They moved their tables and made us fit. When my daughter woke up, while I was trying to get her out, they helped me move the stroller away and rapidly brought a chair for her to sit. We totally felt welcomed and were able to really enjoy our time. The food was great! Fresh pasta and everything very tasty, the waiter was very busy but still tried to be nice and friendly with the kids. Portions looked big so we just ordered a bunch of appetizers and pasta to share and without even asking they brought us big plates. Overall it wasn’t just a meal it was a very nice experience.

Perfect North End experience. They squeezed us in on a Friday evening with no reservation, wonderful friendly service. Superb menu, classic high quality fresh pasta and some of the best pizza 🍕 I’ve ever tasted. Great selection of good wines too. Try the bruschetta with balsamic and fresh mozzarella - heaven

Excellent, friendly service, charming north end ambience. The pasta dishes are world class, but I was a bit disappointed by the vinegar, peppers, and potatoes. The salami board is fantastic and enough for a table of four. Priced as you would expect for the neighborhood. Reservations highly recommended.

Walked by and the wife saw pumpkin ravioli and it was over. We were greeted and sat right away, excellent service. They have a very nice wine selection as well as beer offerings. The food was excellent albeit a bit pricey from what I'm used to but may be standard for the area. The dining room is small and intimate but not crowded. Only reason I put 4 stars for service is we waited a bit for drinks when it wasn't that busy but I feel like I'm nitpicking here. Go try this place out.

Amazing Italian food. The restaurant offers all the classic Italian dishes. Didn’t notice anything very unique to the place but all we ordered was excellent. Price is fair specially considering it’s in a very touristic area. The place is not that big and gets full quickly. Make sure to make a reservation beforehand. There’s also option to seat outside by the sidewalk.
