Super quaint little spot in Little Italy. Tried the fettuccine, arancini, & pistachio drink of some sort and all were incredibly hearty and delicious. Owners were sweet too!
It's very warm and cozy inside and you do not feel rushed as you do in many of the other north end restaurants. The service is absolutely wonderful but unfortunately the food does not match it....
Cute little restaurant and the 3rd one we walked into for our party of 6 without reservations that didn't have 45+ minute wait! And given that these 2 west coasters can't handle standing outside...
We wandered around the North End on a busy Saturday and this was the first place that didn't turn us around immediately, which was appreciated! It was also off the main street, so it was quieter...
