Food was great, just a little tight depending on where you’re seated. We got the truffle Arancini to share, so delicious! Im not usually a huge arancini fan, but this made me change my mind:) I got the Milanese for my entree, it was nice and crispy. I also enjoyed the arugula salad on top, it was perfectly dressed. I will say, I love sitting on the patio during the summer!! Best spot on Newbury in my personal opinion!!

The New Brunswick oysters were delicately sweet and so so clean. The chicken parm deal is unrivaled. But beyond the food, drink, and atmosphere, what makes this place special is its staff, especially the bartender. I’m without a name, but she is a true asset, a shining star. We’ll keep coming back!

    One of my favorite places! Went for my son’s birthday! He lives in the North End. He received a beautiful birthday card and a birthday gelato that we all shared. The food is outstanding as is the ambiance. And Samuel our waiter was AMAZING! Can’t wait to come back.
