The meal was superb, from beginning to end. Best dining out experience in a very long time. I was with a party of 4 to celebrate a birthday. We all had different pasta dishes and each one was terrific. Appetizers and desserts were great too. Excellent service and comfortable ambience and noise level. I look forward to the next time. 👍❣️

I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.

Excellent food and service. We went on a gluten free Monday due to my wife’s celiac disease. Gluten free or not, the food was fantastic.

The food was fantastic as always. The highlight was really the staff. One of my members has a severe food allergy. They made sure everybody was aware, they let us know what was allergy friendly, and updated us as they found out more info. They helped make the experience easy. Will absolutely be back soon!!
