    My wife and I had the Caesar salad appetizer, short rib lasagna and rock shrimp carbonara for mains, and the Tiramisu for dessert. The Caesar with anchovies was delicious. The mains were good but not outstanding. The short rib lasagna could have used a little more cheese but the meat was delicious. The tiramisu dessert was delicious but maybe not for everyone. My wife didn’t like the presentation with the espresso being poured on at the table as she thought it was too much espresso but I thought it was great. The pre-dinner Negroni was probably one of the best I’ve had in Boston.

    Unfortunately, we had to take our food to go. When we asked about it, we were told there was a "technical" problem.

    Both the insalata mista and short rib lasagna were excellent. But the spaccatelli al pesto was a big disappointment. Its tomato pesto sauce was too spicy, salty, and had an unappealing gritty texture. Would not recommend. Everything else was great...service, ambiance, etc.

    Loved the gnocchis they were the best I’ve ever had! Light and fluffy! Glad we tried the original location. Service was excellent too.

    Bolognese was very good, environment was surprisingly energetic as well. Service was extremely friendly and the best part of the experience. Slightly dissatisfied with the tiramisu however.

    The food was excellent. I had the eggplant parmigiana and it was the best I ever had. The service was friendly and assertive. I would highly recommend this place.
