    My cousin decided on The Red Fox for her birthday dinner. Upon arrival to the restaurant e we were seated promptly. The table was nicely setup with a happy birthday card and decorations that she raved about and instantly started snapping photos. Our server Maria was pleasant and attentive from start to finish, she provided great recommendations while being mindful of specific dietary preferences. After our order for beverages were placed, olives and bread was brought over to the table. We ordered an assortment of appetizers tuna crudo, arancini, strangolapreti and caesar salad. Lobster ravioli and orecchiette with pistachio pesto for entrees, everything was tasty. My cousin decided on pistachio gelato which was compliments of the restaurant, came out with a candle! Service was stellar and we will certainly visit again! Thank you to the entire staff for allowing us to have an enjoyable Thursday night out, much appreciated.

    We found Libertine on OpenTable when looking for gluten free Italian food on the North End. The menu is 98% gluten free and the staff are very knowledgeable of gluten allergies. Our server was excellent, we never had to ask for anything. They served us gluten free bread before we ordered and with the soup I had. The bread was so fluffy and fresh, the best gf bread that I have ever had. Our server gave great recommendations and we loved everything that we ordered. We would highly recommend to anyone but especially to gluten free eaters!
