Outstanding. Exceptional. A Total Gem. Don't miss. The food was simple amazing. Terrific service, comfortable atmosphere. Everything we tried was so delicious, well prepared and presented elegantly. Unexpected to find such good pasta dishes on Moody Street in Waltham, but don't fight it - just go eat there. I can't wait to go again.

The lunch hour was busy but the staff handled the crowd with ease. I thought the Reuben sandwich was delicious and the French fries were just enough to satisfy but not overwhelm. I would return to dine for lunch here.
