    Very disappointing experience for us in the north end. The service was fine, it's just the quality and value of the food was subpar for the area. I ordered a Caesar, which was mediocre, and the lettuce was old and tasted like fridge. 16 dollars. The main course was the cipppino, which I expected to be like a bouillabaise, yet it was just skimpy seafood in a very shallow cast iron with thick tomato sauce. 40 dollars. My colleague had the flank steak with "chimichurri" ; the steak was incredibly chewy, overcooked and the chimi was no where near authentic chimi in taste, texture, or presentation. Would never go back.

    Bolognese sauce was excellent, in my top 3 ever. Caesar salad and meatballs were top 3 too. The lower level opened up plenty of space and much quieter. Will go back. Thank you

    The staff was attentive and friendly. They assisted us in ordering for a member of our party with a dairy allergy. The room was elegant and comfortable. Every part of the meal was perfect. And another perk was the discounted parking in a closed garage a block away ($1/hour in Boston!!!!)
