Delicious!! Tight quarters with the tables but that’s every North end restaurant. Delicious food and drinks but they don’t serve desert. Need to go to their bakery next door but given it was Christmas Eve Eve, there were lines out of every bakery door!! Good service and not bad prices. They have valet ($30) but didn’t realize and my husband dropped us off and parked in the lot down the street. They won’t seat you until your full party is together. Overall would definitely recommend.

What a nice festive evening with friends. Service was attentive, professional and friendly. The meal was served at a good pace. No rushing. Parmigiana, carbonna and Sunday gravy all were delicious and all had leftovers to bring home. The ambience was very festive and made for a nice before the holiday dinner. So glad I was able to get a reservation. It was worth the hour drive for such a nice evening.
