The waitress was friendly, helpful and attentive. My husband got the house special with vela, pork, sausage, chicken, artichokes, mushrooms and pepperoni in a white wine sauce and he loved it. I had the veal specials with prosciutto, mozzarella and mushrooms in a sweet Marsala sauce. It was very good- a bit sweet for me though. Stuffed artichoke was OK- boiled before baking. Wine list was very reasonably priced. Will go back and try the mussels and the lemon chicken. Nice place to go that is not part of a large restaurant group.

The food was fabulous! Their famous Squid ink pasta and fruitti di mare were both outstanding. Wonderful Italian wines by the glass, too. We opted to sit at the bar in lieu of our reservation for a table and are happy we did. Service was great and the bartender recommended her favorites for both the food and beverages menus. We will definitely return when we go back to Boston!
